There are some remaining issues, and further bug and stress testing that we hope to accomplish, but basic OAI
exposure functionality for DC XML has been restored in both our 1.4 and
2.0 development branches. Though the code has been ported over to
our 2.x development branch, we have not yet extensively tested the functionality in
the new branch (where the biggest architectural change is a move to use
Elasticsearch). Additionally, one of the greatest challenge in porting these fixes over to our 2.0.0 release is scalability - we have not yet tested the OAI module sufficiently enough to guarantee its full functionality, but would be very interested in hearing reports from intrepid users.
One recent issue discovered by a community user who is testing functionality in 2.x for us:
We also have a few issues to increase the functionality and usability of our OAI exposure, so it takes better advantage of some of AtoM 2.0's strengths - these issues are currently not sponsored for development, but we hope to include them in the future:
the AtoM team would love to see functionality introduced into AtoM that would allow it to act as an OAI
harvester, but at this time, we have not found any community members
interested in sponsoring its development. If you and yoru colleague are
interested in developing this feature, we would be happy to lend
technical advice as we are able to via our User and Developer forums. We'd also love to see the two features listed above get added to AtoM.
If you are intending to do work on the OAI
module in AtoM, we strongly recommend working with the 2.x branch. As you may know we are preparing a 1.4 release for ICA-AtoM, but it will be our final
major release on the 1.x branch, and we will be actively moving forward
with development on the 2.x branch (rebranded simply as AtoM) in the future - 1.x may see minor
maintenance releases, but otherwise Artefactual will not be actively
developing ICA-AtoM 1.x. The 1.4 release is an unsponsored labor of love - we want to provide our community with a solid, stable release on the 1.x branch (for those institutions whose technical infrastructure or preferences do not easily facilitate a move to 2.0), but it is an off-the-side-of-the-desk project which we work on as we are able. Consequently, our 2.0.0 release will be available before our 1.4 release - in fact, we are hoping to release 2.0.0 as of the end of tomorrow.
If you are interested in exploring AtoM's OAI capabilities, I suggest upgrading your installation to 2.0.0 when it is released. Note that the upgrading process will be slightly more complex than usual as this release marks a major platform change - also, as the look and feel of AtoM 2.0 is rather different, any custom theming you have done to your installation may no longer work. However, we believe 2.0 marks a promising new direction for AtoM, and we're looking forward to getting new users on board.
We would love to hear feedback from users interested in testing AtoM 2.0.0's OAI capabilities for us as well - as I said, we hope to develop it further, but it is unsponsored work at the moment. We'd love community beta-testers!
ICA-AtoM1.4 has no firm release date at this time. We will continue preparing it as we are able, and hope to release it before the end of the year.
Best,
