If you have many metadata records or records that frequently change:
- Use OAI-PMH
- Provide them preferrably as CMDI (click here for details about how to serve CMDI over OAI-PMH)
- If that is not possible provide them as OLAC
- Depending on the situation your endpoint has to be added to the centre registry (in case of a registered CLARIN centre), or added manually to our harvester
- In case of a CLARIN centre
- if your centre has already been registered in the Centre Registry, contact the Centre Registry administration via e-mail. Make sure to provide the name of your centre and the complete URL of the endpoint.
- if your centre has not yet been registered in the Centre Registry, fill in the Centre Registry registration form.
- Otherwise
- Send a mail to harvester@clarin.eu to notify us about your OAI-PMH access point
- In case of a CLARIN centre
If you have only a few static records and setting up an OAI-PMH access point is not feasible:
- Submit your records to the Language Resource Inventory (for data, corpora, lexica, web services, software, …)
- All the records in the LRT inventory will be automatically converted into CMDI records. Note that this process can take a while.
Data provided over OAI-PMH or via the LRT inventory will be made available and searchable via the Virtual Language Observatory.
