DESCRIPTION¶
Catmandu::Importer::OAI is an Catmandu importer to harvest metadata records from an OAI-PMH endpoint.
CONFIGURATION¶
- url
- OAI-PMH Base URL.
- metadataPrefix
- Metadata prefix to specify the metadata format. Set to "oai_dc" by default.
- handler( sub {} | $object | 'NAME' | '+NAME' )
- Handler to transform each record from XML DOM (XML::LibXML::Element) into
Perl hash.
Handlers can be provided as function reference, an instance of a Perl package that implements 'parse', or by a package NAME. Package names should be prepended by "+" or prefixed with "Catmandu::Importer::OAI::Parser". E.g "foobar" will create a "Catmandu::Importer::OAI::Parser::foobar" instance.
By default the handler Catmandu::Importer::OAI::Parser::oai_dc is used for metadataPrefix "oai_dc", Catmandu::Importer::OAI::Parser::marcxml for "marcxml", Catmandu::Importer::OAI::Parser::mods for "mods", and Catmandu::Importer::OAI::Parser::struct for other formats. In addition there is Catmandu::Importer::OAI::Parser::raw to return the XML as it is.
- identifier
- Option return only results for this particular identifier
- set
- An optional set for selective harvesting.
- from
- An optional datetime value (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ) as lower bound for datestamp-based selective harvesting.
- until
- An optional datetime value (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ) as upper bound for datestamp-based selective harvesting.
- identify
- Harvest the repository description instead of all records.
- getRecord
- Harvest one record instead of all records.
- listIdentifiers
- Harvest identifiers instead of full records.
- listRecords
- Harvest full records. Default operation.
- listSets
- Harvest sets instead of records.
- listMetadataFormats
- Harvest metadata formats of records
- resumptionToken
- An optional resumptionToken to start harvesting from.
- dry
- Don't do any HTTP requests but return URLs that data would be queried from.
- strict
- Optional validate all parameters first against the OAI 2 specifications before sending it to an OAI server. Default: undef.
- xslt
- Preprocess XML records with XSLT script(s) given as comma separated list or array reference. Requires Catmandu::XML.
- max_retries
- When an oai request fails, the importer will retry this number of times.
Set to '0' by default.
Internally the exponential backoff algorithm is used for this. This means that after every failed request the importer will choose a random number between 0 and 2^collision (excluded), and wait that number of seconds. So the actual amount of time before the importer stops can differ:
first retry: wait [ 0..2^1 [ seconds second retry: wait [ 0..2^2 [ seconds third retry: wait [ 0..2^3 [ seconds ..
- realm
- An optional realm value. This value is used when the importer harvests from a repository which is secured with basic authentication through Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM or Kerberos).
- username
- An optional username value. This value is used when the importer harvests from a repository which is secured with basic authentication.
- password
- An optional password value. This value is used when the importer harvests from a repository which is secured with basic authentication.
METHOD¶
Every Catmandu::Importer is a Catmandu::Iterable all its methods are inherited. The Catmandu::Importer::OAI methods are not idempotent: OAI-PMH feeds can only be read once.
In addition to methods inherited from Catmandu::Iterable, this module provides the following public methods:
handle_record( $dom )¶
Process an XML DOM as with xslt and handler as configured and return the result.
ENVIRONMENT¶
If you are connected to the internet via a proxy server you need to set the coordinates to this proxy in your environment:
export http_proxy="http://localhost:8080"
If you are connecting to a HTTPS server and don't want to verify the validity of certificates of the peer you can set the PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME to false in your environment. This maybe required to connect to broken SSL servers:
export PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0
