Exposing OAI-PMH Metadata as Linked Data

[Linde, A.E.]

Looks interesting:

'Many institutions grant access to their metadata repositories
via the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Har-
vesting (OAI-PMH). However, this protocol has two signif-
cant drawbacks: it does not make its resources accessible via
dereferencable URIs, and it provides only restricted means
of selective access to metadata. The OAI2LOD Server han-
dles these shortcomings by republishing metadata originat-
ing from an OAI-PMH endpoint according to the principles
of Linked Data. As the ongoing OAI-ORE speci?cation pro-
cess shows, these principles are gaining growing importance
also in the digital libraries domain.'
