The enhanced OAI server is a Java Servlet web application that implements the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) v2.0. It is based on OAICat (http://oclc.org/research/activities/oaicat.html) and the Biblio Transformation Engine (https://github.com/EKT/Biblio-Transformation-Engine). More than the flexibility it allows with BTE (custom filter and modifiers), it allows the administrator to define metadata mappings using XSLTs and that way to support easily more metadata formats.

The biblio transformation engine is a java framework developed by the Hellenic National Documentation Centre (EKT, www.ekt.gr) and consists of programmatic APIs for filtering and modifying records that are retrieved from various types of data sources (eg. databases, files, legacy data sources) as well as for outputing them in appropriate standards formats (eg. database files, txt, xml, Excel). The framework includes independent abstract modules that are executed seperately, offering in many cases alternative choices to the user depending of the input data set, the transformation workflow that needs to be executed and the output format that needs to be generated.
