Identify

Purpose

This function generates the identifier XML of the repository. besides the compulsory data, this repository provides also some non-compulsory elements like sampleIdentifier for better describing the repository. In the XML response, the set specifications are omitted as the repository does not support sets.

The module provides a form for adding the preliminary data for the repository. The form can be found at Administer -> Site Configuration -> OAI Module Settings

Values in the form are preset from the drupal site information once the module is installed so visiting this form after installing the module is not compulsory.
