How to Index Greenstone Digital Library (GSDL) with VuFind
Set Up Greenstone
OAI must be enabled on the Greenstone repository first.
You can modify file of Greenstone to enable and configure OAI-PMH on file:
$GSDL_HOME/etc/oai.cfg
You can check all the settings of GSDL repository through URL:
http://(IP or hostname)/greenstone/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi
e.g.
http://library.nams.org.np/nams/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi
(Note: for detailed information about OAI-PMH on GSDL, see this link)
Set Up VuFind
1. Modify $VUFIND_HOME/harvest/oai.ini as described below.
2. Create and modify $VUFIND_HOME/import/gsdl.properties if it does not already exist (you can download it here if you have a version of VuFind older than 1.4).
3. Create & modify $VUFIND_HOME/import/xsl/gsdl.xsl if it does not already exist (you can download it here if you have a version of VuFind older than 1.4).
4. cd $VUFIND_HOME/harvest
5. php harvest_oai.php
6. sh batch-import-xsl.sh ./Greenstone ../import/gsdl.properties
