Principles: well-defined and relevant sources Gateway to selected partners
Periodically retrieves only relevant metadata harvester simple protocol OAI (Open Archive Initiative) common metadata model and language MODS
Provides search & browse features local record, remote contents Useful shortcuts mini thesaurus
Partners make available The relevant metadata sets
Add a connector to each database repository Provide metadata in adequate form
Contents as available and allowed Referenced in the metadata Not copied to the gateway Differentiated access on-site / partners / everyone else

Metadata model: simplified MODS Derived from MARC
Humanly readable XML Easy conversion from any schemes mostly optional “fields” Keeps associations people/rôles, subject/author/title…
Hierarchical ad inf. Express structure collections/items, cds/tracks, meta-
events/events… In the record/from record to record
Extensible Instrumentation Rights of access to contents intranet/extranet/internet Pseudo-FRBR
