jOAI Software - Download

jOAI is a Java-based open source Open Archives Initiative data provider and harvester tool that runs in a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat.

The jOAI data provider allows XML files from a file system to be exposed as items in an OAI data repository and made available for harvesting by others using the OAI-PMH. After pointing the software to one or more file directories, the software monitors the XML files inside, adding, updating or deleting them from the OAI repository as files are added, updated or deleted from the directories.

The jOAI harvester is used to retrieve metadata records from remote OAI data providers and save them to the local file system, one record per file. In addition, records that have been harvested are packaged into zip archives that can be downloaded and opened through the harvester's web-based interface.

This software is developed by Digital Learning Sciences (DLS) (http://www.dlsciences.org/) at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (http://www.ucar.edu/). jOAI can be installed on Windows, Linux, Mac OS or UNIX systems.
