| Description |
An aggregator is setting up a search service whereby they can provide cross search, browse and filter capability across metadata harvested using OAI-PMH from a wide variety of repositories implemented on different software platforms. The aggregator wants to ensure that the data being harvested into the service is consistent, both in terms of the metadata elements used and the contents of those elements. At present, the use of simple Dublin Core has led to a situation where different repositories have used the loosely defined Dublin Core elements is different ways. |
