Posibility export/validate Drupal with MARC (OAI)

[eturienzo]

ARTium wants to export the artists dossiers, but DC doesn't allow to catalogue authorities. We are thinking in the possiblity to export them as MARC for authorities. So, we have to export them in MARCXML from Drupal (it only supports Dublin Core) and validate the OAI-XML in ALIADA.

ARTIUM uses Drupal (content management system for cataloguing and presenting the multimedia collection from the Library) to manage the following type of resources:

• sound recordings
• images
• videos
• dossiers on exhibitions
• biographies of artists and writers

Drupal uses OAI-PMH to export data. Those data must be catalogued according to a standard metadata schema. It only exports the metadata as Dublin Core XML. That's is useful to export bibliographic resources but not to manage authority records such as biographies. We have to analyze if we could export MARC XML using the OAI module of Drupal.

On the other hand, we have to check if the ALIADA validation module supports an OAI-XML file.
