Repository Explorer

Period

2000-2019

Description

The Repository Explorer is a Web-based validation tool for OAI-PMH data providers, to assist in the implementation, testing and demonstration of such archives.

It was operational from 2000-2019 at (mostly at re.cs.uct.ac.za) and thereafter shut down because the technology has aged and this tool is no longer as useful.  This version predates most of the modern XML tools, hence it uses custom tree generation and access libraries.

You are welcome to download and use the software locally if you wish.  The compliance test can be compiled and run from the command line separately, even if you do not use the Web interface.
