For disclosure, I was in the committee designing it. I attempted to argue for another approach at that time. If I were DPLA, I would try to work with a collection that already has harvested OAI-PMH archives. The BASE collection may be available, for example. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel
