You can add a new OAI-PMH interface via your data source dashboard in OpenAIRE PROVIDE at https://provide.openaire.eu/, following these steps:
1. Access https://provide.openaire.eu/ and login
2. Access your data source dashboard
If your user account is associated with only one data source, the dashboard opens by default. If you have more than one, you need to select the data source you want to update from the left side menu in the "Repositories" section.
3. Go to the menu: Update > Update interfaces
4. Select the option: Add New Interface
5. Register the base OAI-PMH URL, namely the following details:
5.1. Base OAI-PMH URL (*)
Register the base OAI-PMH URL of your data source, to collect your records from.
5.2. Set
Choose an OAI-set if desired. If no set is chosen, all records will be harvested.
5.3. Desired compatibility level (*)
Select the Guidelines with which your data source is compatible. If you are not sure, select the one you think is correct. Please note that the Aggregation Team will evaluate the compatibility, so the actual compliance level may be different from which you chose.
5.4. Comments (What else do we need to know?)
Add your comments to the Aggregation Team, if you have something particular to report.
6. Click the save icon (in the top right corner of the box) to save changes and submit.
Notes:
1. (*) mandatory fields.
2. Details filled in the fields Desired compatibility level and Comments are not displayed in the user interface after you save the changes. However, these details are sent to the Aggregation Team, so you don't need to resubmit the details.
Once you save the changes, the Aggregation team will be notified and start the evaluation process, who will contact you if further information is needed. After this process and if validation succeeds, the compatibility level of your data source will be updated, and its contents will be regularly aggregated and indexed using the new OAI-PMH interface.
