OLAC Static Repository Gateway |
This is an OLAC-customized OAI Static Repository Gateway software implemented by Patrick Hochstenbach & Henry Jerez. The customization is as minimal as blocking the <friends> element being inserted in the Identify response of the software. This replaces the Vida (Vitual Data Provider) that had served OLAC community until the early 2003. OLAC static repositories should conform to the OAI static repository schema and fulfill the requirements described in OLAC Repositories in order to be served by this gateway. You can register your static repository using the OLAC Archive Registration form.
Append the URL of the static repository XML file to the URL of the static repository then add CGI parameters.
Example:
|
The base URL of the OLAC Static Repository Gateway is: Given a url of a static repository (for example:http://www.language-archives.org/OLAC/1.0/static-repository.xml), the full url for the data provider is: And it can be harvested using the OAI metadata harvesting protocol, e.g.: |
The data provider can be tested with the repository explorer:
