If you have records in the **Meta-Share maximal format** you can use the profiles and conversion stylesheets [as described at the Meta site](http://www.meta-share.org/portal/forum/question/97/0).

If you have records in the **Meta-Share minimal format** you can use [this profile](http://catalog.clarin.eu/ds/ComponentRegistry?item=clarin.eu:cr1:p_1349361150699) (and the [generated XSD](http://catalog.clarin.eu/ds/ComponentRegistry/rest/registry/profiles/clarin.eu:cr1:p_1349361150699/xsd)).

Then you can use an XSLT transformation to transform your Meta-Share records into the CMDI equivalent. For the maximal Meta-Share schema, guidelines and XSLT files are provided [here](http://www.meta-share.org/portal/forum/question/97/0). For the minimal MS-schema to OLAC, the XSLT is provided [here](http://infra.clarin.eu/cmd/xslt/meta/MetasharetoOLAC.xsl).

Related to this Jozef Misutka from UFAL has been so kind to implement [an OAI-PMH module](https://github.com/metashare/META-SHARE/pull/735) for the Meta-Share repository.
