[OAI-implementers] building an OAI-PMH Server

[Venkat]

Hi All,
       Thanks for your suggestions. I am going to try the 2 PHP tools listed
on the OAI website and then see what I could do. Hopefully I'll bug all of
you if I run into any problem

Thanks,
-Venkat

Venkat,

have you taken a look at:

http://www.dlib.vt.edu/projects/OAI/software/xmlfile/xmlfile.html
http://physnet.uni-oldenburg.de/oai/
http://www.ibiblio.org/oaibiblio/
http://rvot.sourceforge.net/

any one of these tools would likely work for you.

regards,

Michael
