Hi @mdsnor
Thanks for the information and suggestions. Could you please share the fork or suggest me any other OAI-PMH harvesters that you have been using in CKAN 2.9? This extension (ckan-oaipmh) seems outdated as you have mentioned.
Thanks in advance.
Last five commits of https://github.com/NINAnor/ckanext-kata/commits/nina-version-kata have been used for CKAN 2.8.4.
@bhavin2897 are you interested in maintaining this extension?
@frafra No. The best version for this extension is OAI-PMH Harvester branch py3
Maybe it would be great, if developers are looking for this harvester, and directs to latest one (above link)
Thank you for your concern
The problem is that there is no OAI PMH server with the alternative extension.
I found this, instead, https://github.com/EUDAT-B2FIND/ckanext-oaipmh-server, but it seems not working: https://github.com/EUDAT-B2FIND/ckanext-oaipmh-server/issues/11. ckanext-spatial
has some support for pycsw, but it has been broken for quite a while: https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-spatial/issues/298.
Dear developers, first of all, thank you for your work. I was looking for an extension suitable for exposing metadata through the OAI-PMH protocol, and yours was the best option I could find. In our case the harvester component is not required for the moment. However, I wish to describe some challenges I had while trying to use it with CKAN 2.8.3 (however, I didn't perform a detailed analysis):
As a workaround, after forking, I first tried to make this extension independent from ckanext-kata, by disabling some of the broken imports (we are using only part of the code), and copying and pasting the helpers from ckanext-kata to ckanext-oaipmh. It works, but following a colleague's suggestion, we opted rather to keep the ckanext-kata to be installed as a library (without enabling any plugin).
Probably it could become more useful, in my opinion, specifically in our case (no harvester needed), to:
Thanks!
