1. NAL-Institutional Repository: A Case Study CSIR Metadata Harvester I.R.N. Goudar Head, ICAST, NAL goudar@nal.res.in National Symposium on Open Access and Building Institutional Repository National Aerospace Laboratories Bangalore- 560 017 21-23 Jan 2009

2. NAL-IR Started in 2003 using GSDL Adopted E-Prints in 2005 Plans to Switch over to DSpace Presently about 3000 Documents

9. IR Download Statistics 6000-10000/PM from more than 120 Countries USA 40% India 25% UK 10% Canada 6% Japan 5% China 3% Germany 3% France 3%

11. Metadata Harvesting Harvesting –in the OAI context, harvesting refers specifically to the gathering together of metadata from a number of distributed repositories into a combined data store OAI-PMH (OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) –OAI-PMH is a harvesting protocol for sharing metadata between services.

12. Data Provider (Ex. Institutional repository) Maintain repository Expose metadata according to a metadata standard (e.g. DC) Register with OAI Service provider Register with OAI Extract metadata from registered repositories (‘harvest’) Provide services (e.g. central index) Interoperability through OAI-PMH Protocol * * http://www.openarchives.org/ IR-1IR-2

13. Harvesting Software To harvest metadata from the OAI- compliant repositories (data providers), a harvesting software is needed –PKP Harvester from SFU http://pkp.sfu.ca/harvester_download –Arc from ODU http://oaiarc.sourceforge.net/

21. CSIR Knowledge Harvester Set up at ICAST, NAL PKP Harvester Presently Covers 4 CSIR Labs About 5500 documents

30. EPrints and DSpace Widely used IR software Platform – EPrints: Unix/ Linux/ Perl/ Apache/ MySQL/ XML/ HTML/ – DSpace: Unix/ Linux/ Java/ Tomcat or Apache/ XML/ HTML/ Ant/ PostGreSQL Imply software knowledge required for installing, configuring, and maintaining archives developed using these packages.
