OAICore Zope Product
The OAICore Zope product extends Zope with OAI-PMH harvesting and indexing abilities. It builds on the Python oaipmh module. OAICore can be used to harvest OAI-PMH compliant repositories. All harvested data is stored in a scalable BTreeFolder in Zope, using the Zope catalog for indexing of the data.
OAICore has a declarative system for defining metadata indexes, and can autogenerate user interfaces for searching and browsing metadata. It can be easily extended with support for arbitrary metadata sets, building on the functionality of the oaipmh Python module.
This flexible component is intended to be integrated with Zope-based applications such as CMS systems. One such integration is
with the Silva CMS.
