Selectively exposing records for harvest

[Matthias Liffers]

Hi everyone,

 

Sorry if you’ve seen this question already – I posted a similar question to redbox-dev last week but haven’t received any replies.

 

I’d like to expose a subset of records for harvesting, and I’d like your advice on the best way to achieve that!

 

We’re working with a discipline-specific, geochemical data discovery portal and want to expose only some records. We only want to give them geochemical records.

 

I thought the easiest way to do this would be to tag each record we want to give them with a keyword, then create a view based on that keyword. I was hoping that this view would construct a set that could then be selectively harvested. For example, I’ve created a view “sa” and can see the set “sa” being advertised in our OAI-PMH feed. Unfortunately, I get zero records returned (yes, they’re published!) when I try to use a URL like this one:

 

http://redbox-dev.curtin.edu.au/redbox/sa/feed/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=sa

 

(this URL won’t work for you because our dev server is hiding behind a firewall)

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Hi Matthias,

What we have done for this same situation is to create a view and then enable the view to be OAI-PHM harvested in the configuration and then point the harvester at this new feed.

Creating a view involves so set up on the back end - creating a directory inside .../portal/ with the name you want the view to have and placing in it a single portal.json file with the settings for the view -  here is where you put your solr query to define the view contents. You will need to then restart the service and you should then see your view in the View menu. To make the view oai-pmh harvestable, you need to edit the system-config.json file and add it to the list of enabled views.

There is some documentation on the Fascinator site - https://sites.google.com/site/fascinatorhome/home/documenation/technical/details/branding-appearance/views - and you can look in the portal/published/portal.json for an example.

Hope that helps!
