From sb at UNAGI.CIS.UPENN.EDU Tue May 28 18:07:57 2002 From: sb at UNAGI.CIS.UPENN.EDU (Steven Bird) Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 14:07:57 EDT Subject: New OLAC Harvester available Message-ID: Haejoong Lee has developed a new OLAC harvester, which is downloadable from the OLAC tools page [http://www.language-archives.org/tools.html]. With this, anyone can harvest the records from OLAC archives and store them in a local database, and provide some community service on the data. Although LINGUIST List is the primary OLAC service provider [http://www.linguistlist.org/olac/], we encourage others to create their own services based on OLAC archives. The OLAC harvester only does the data collection side of the job. Service providers must create their own user interface to the database. The OLAC harvester is distributed under an open source license. It is based on the OAI harvester by Hussein Suleman at Virginia Tech.
