We want to remind you that our OAI-PMH Harvester and Repository plugins are now available for last minute testing. The Harvester imports metadata from remote OAI-PMH data providers, while the Repository exposes your Omeka metadata using the OAI-PMH specification. Both plugins are release candidates (1.0RC), meaning we don’t recommend that you use them on your production sites yet; but we feel that they are almost ready for prime-time. If you’re interested in either plugin, this is the time to try them out on a test Omeka installation and give us feedback.

I have tested the harvester plugin, for a chilean social science webcatalog project that i’m seting up, running different tools on a free hosting service. I couldn’t make the complete installation because my hosting service doesn’t support PHP-CLI, but aparently it doesn’t exist a free service that supports PHP-CLI, so it would be great if this plugin can be modified to run without need of it. The Drupal OAI harvester runs without it, but it’s less intuitive and less easy to use than Omeka.
I hope that my remark can be useful for you.
