Markus, Éamonn

Thank you for these clarifications.  I had probably misunderstood from some earlier presentations that this interface would have already been bundled in IPT.

RSS feed is certainly useful the way you describe.

However, we have to serve metadata about the results of our digitisation efforts beyond GBIF to other networks in the cultural heritage programmes.  There I would need Dublin Core served via OAI-PMH.  I believe for you developers it would be easy to add this functionality in the IPT.

Regards, Hannu

Hannu,
we've decided to use simple rss feeds in favor over the OAI-PMH protocol in the IPT.
the RSS feed (atom) is pagable and allows you to iterate over all resources in chronological order.

For example:
http://ipt.gbif.org/atom.xml

and if there would have been more resources than 25 the second page would be:
http://ipt.gbif.org/atom.xml?page=2

The rss feed give you the basic metadata directly including the geographic bounding box, a link to the full EML and a link to the resource page on the IPT as well as the resource homepage when existing.
I just see that there is no link to the full dataset (dwc archive) yet. I will add that for the next release so the data can immediately be harvested from there.

I hope this satisfies your needs - its perfect for indexing I believe.

Hi Hannu,

I'm not sure I understand correctly but if you are asking whether the IPT
has an OAI-PMH service built in - it does not. The IPT simply stores
metadata on the server. You would have to implement your own OAI-PMH access
service.
Some tools that may be of use are provided here:

Hello

How can I find the OAI-PMH access point of an IPT resource or of the 
entire server?  It is not listed among the other webservices & 
resources.  Is this documented somewhere?

Thanks, Hannu
