Oaiprovider

How to install the oaiprovider, Fedora's OAI-PMH interface.

1. Generate Identify.xml

   cd /var/www/static.phaidra/proai/
   /usr/local/fedora/config/phaidra_tmpl.pl
   

2. Copy xlink-1999.xsd to /usr/share/tomcat6/

3. Download the oaiprovider from github

   cd /home/<you>
   mkdir oaibuild && cd oaibuild
   wget https://github.com/fcrepo/oaiprovider/archive/master.zip
   unzip master
   

4. To build it you might need to install ant and ant-trax1

   yum install ant
   yum install ant-trax
   

5. Build it

   cd oaiprovider-master
   ant release
   

6. Extract it

   cd dist
   mkdir extract && cd extract
   jar -xf ../oaiprovider.war
   

7. Get the configuration from repository and run the template processing

   svn export https://svn.phaidra.univie.ac.at/phaidra/branches/release_2.9/config/oaiprovider-1.1.3/WEB-INF/ --force
   /usr/local/fedora/config/phaidra_tmpl.pl
   

8. Pack it up

   jar -cf ../oaiprovider.war .
   

9. And put it to webapps

   cp ../oaiprovider.war /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps
   

10. Check catalina.out for deploy errors

    less /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out
    

11. Check proai log

    less /usr/local/fedora/server/logs/proai.log
    

Optional

MPT triplestore

If the instance should use mpt store as triplestore, you have to add the patched one (as for 2013-10-04). You can get it here, build it into eg mptstore-0.9.6-SNAPSHOT-phaidra.jar, then

sudo rm oaiprovider-master/lib/mptstore-0.9.3.jar
sudo cp mptstore-0.9.6-SNAPSHOT-phaidra.jar oaiprovider-master/lib/

then edit the oaiprovider-master/build.properties file to change the path to the library

lib.mptstore = lib/mptstore-0.9.6-SNAPSHOT-phaidra.jar

Creating sets

• Create a collection, say o:123

• Go to /commandline

  ./phaidra_config_proai_set.pl o:123 <setSpec> <setName> (./phaidra_config_proai_set.pl o:123 test_collection "Test Collection")
  

  setName is a freetext description. setSpec defines the set name for the oaiprovider.

• Objects then can be harvested using eg &set=ec_fundedresources parameter. Eg.:

  https://fedora.<instance>/oaiprovider/?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=test_collection
