[IPT] OAI-PMH on IPT

[Hannu Saarenmaa]

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
