I would like to know more about OAI-PMH feature in Koha. Can make use this feature to harvest metadata from a OA repository?
Is it possible to search another repository through Koha OPAC? Now this feature read to use?
Koha 3.x can act as an OAI-PMH data provider. It currently cannot act as an OAI-PMH client to harvest other repositories, although it wouldn't be hard to write such support using the OAI-Harvester family of Perl modules [http://search.cpan.org/~thb/OAI-Harvester-1.13/] - the main thing missing is that MARC is the only metadata format that Koha indexes natively. A little more information about the OAI-PMH data provider support can be found at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:oai-pmh .
