GAMS OAI-PMH Documentation

OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) is a widely used protocol for harvesting metadata. In order to systematically harvest our metadata, or integrate it into your own contexts, you may use our interface and query it according to the rules of the protocol. The protocol follows the OAI-PMH specifications.
All our metadata is licensed under the CC BY-NC 4.0.

Base URL

Our provider is available under the following Base URL: https://gams.uni-graz.at/oaiprovider/

Metadata formats

The metadata for each file in our repository is available in several formats.
You can get our full list of metadata formats by adding ?verb=ListMetadataFormats to the Base URL - like this: https://gams.uni-graz.at/oaiprovider/?verb=ListMetadataFormats

At this time we support the following 4 formats (= OAI-PMH prefixes) for our metadata: oai_dc, oai_cmdi_tei, oai_edm and oai_openaire.

  • oai_dc (Dublin Core):
    In order to ensure interoperability, the OAI-PMH protocol requires that archives must map their metadata according to Dublin Core, a recommended W3C standard, as a lowest common denominator. For this purpose the metadataPrefix oai_dc, as well as the URL for the metadata schema - http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd - are strictly reserved by the protocol.
    The "Dublin Core Metadata Element Set" (or short: "Dublin Core", ISO 15836-1:2017) is a set of standardized terms, formulated by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI), which provide minimal but essential metadata for each record. It consists of the fifteen "core" elements, which are also required by the OAI-PMH protocol: Contributor, Coverage, Creator, Date, Description, Format, Identifier, Language, Publisher, Relation, Rights, Source, Subject, Title, Type.
    Meanwhile the original Dublin Core Metadata Element Set is part of the bigger DCMI Metadata Terms (ISO 15836-2:2019), where it can be found under the reserved namespace http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/

  • oai_cmdi_tei (CMDI-TEI):
    Component MetaData Infrastructure (CMDI) is a metamodel which provides a well-defined framework with flexible components in order to allow integrating existing metadata schemas. For the metadata included in our projects' TEI Headers, the information is mapped into a CMDI-TEI profile.
    The CMDI specification is developed and published by CLARIN.

  • oai_edm (Europeana Data Model):
    The Europeana Data Model (EDM) was developed to gather, enrich and interlink metadata of various Cultural Heritage Objects (CHOs) and map them into a unified data model.
    EDM is based on the approaches of Linked Open Data (LOD) and the Semantic Web and provides metadata enrichment and aggregation from third party resources.
