Periodically retrieves only relevant metadata harvester



simple protocol OAI (Open Archive Initiative)
common metadata model and language MODS
Provides search & browse features local record, remote contents
Useful shortcuts mini thesaurus
Partners make available



The relevant metadata sets



Add a connector to each database repository
Provide metadata in adequate form
Contents as available and allowed



Referenced in the metadata
Not copied to the gateway
Differentiated access on-site / partners / everyone else

Metadata model: simplified MODS



Derived from MARC
 Humanly readable XML
 Easy conversion from any schemes mostly optional “fields”
 Keeps associations people/rôles, subject/author/title…
Hierarchical ad inf.
 Express structure collections/items, cds/tracks, metaevents/events…
 In the record/from record to record
Extensible
 Instrumentation
 Rights of access to contents intranet/extranet/internet
 Pseudo-FRBR
