Updating harvesters from v1 to v2

Harvest OAI-PMH V2 as a new repository

As explained in OAI v2 / Main principles, the OAI-PMH repository V2 uses new identifiers (Handle). Identifiers used un OAI-PMH V1 are no longer used.

For Instance, the following document https://journals.openedition.org/vertigo/44488 have these representations in OAI V1 and V2:

As a result, the easiest method for Harvesters to migrate is probably to delete the existing OpenEdition metadata in their system and harvest the V2 repository as new records.

Please contact us if we can help you with the migration process: referencement@openedition.org

Retrieve Handle from previous OAI Identifiers

Despite this, if needed, Harvester can retrieve the new identifiers (Handle) from the previous OAI Identifiers.

Example with the OAI-PMH V1 identifier: oai:revues.org:vertigo/44488
