Hello,
sorry that this mail
comes in a general list, but there is no contactperson on the homepage.
We are working on a
project in Belgium that has several goals.
PROJECT
Different institutes
have a catalogue.
The goal is to make
a union catalogue and to harvest on regular times the
OAI-compliant institutional repositories.
As format
we have concluded to use MARC21.
Emilda seems
interesting for us: MARC capabilities / Z 39.50 etc. We can program in several
languages and PHP is no problem. Translations can be done in dutch. We see this
as a normal gift back for all work already done.
QUESTIONS
Some questions
should be resolved before we go on in further participation or using Emilda.
a) Is it possible to
make the database, containing the bibliographic data in Emilda to a
OAI-compliant repository? Is this already provided, or can it be fixed with
other tools, someone with experience?
b) Can Emilda
harvest OAI-compliant repositories?Is this already provided, or can it be fixed
with other tools, someone with experience?
c) I was amazed by
the tool to add Marc tags. It was not clear for me how or where you can define
which tag should become searchable. For example; If you add 440_a (subtitle of a
serial), can you define in the searchscreen that this field should be
searchable. Our goal is to create a special searchscreen where we can
define by ourselves which marc-tags should be searchable. We have
some extra tags used for special information.
d) Are there
users in Belgium or the Netherlands?
e) do you think
Emilda can be used in our project.
f) is there a
possibility for structural support?
thanks
Luk
