Two new metadata sets have been added to the 'ArchiveOAIConfig.pm'. Beside the common 'oai_dc' these format are 'epicur' and 'xMetaDiss'. epicur ------ 'epicur' was developped at the 'German National Library' (DNB) to administrate the Persistent Identifiers (URN's). More on the epicur-project at http://www.persistent-identifier.de/ xMetaDiss --------- 'xMetaDiss' was also developped at the 'German National Library' to register theses from different librariers at DNB. This version version of 'ArchiveOAIConfig.pm' has been tested with EPrints 2.3.13.1, but should work with other EPrints 2 versions as well. You problay should not just replace your 'ArchiveOAIConfig.pm' with this one provided here, since you will have different field names in your 'ArchiveMetadataFieldsConfig.pm'. But it will give you an idea, how the 2 metadata formats work within EPrints 2 and you will be able to easily adopt this file to your specific configuration set of fields.
