Dublin Core OAI-PMH
OAI-PMH is the main way in which data from Herbaria manuscripta is contributed to aggregating platforms, such as LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ. Since the data in Herbaria manuscripta is highly specialized and not all of it would make sense outside of this platform's context, only the central content type of the platform - that is the texts within manuscripts (the copies of herbals) - is shared via OAI-PMH. However, metadata from related content types (manuscripts, herbal entries) are also reflected in the Dublin Core records.
Endpoint: https://herbaria.phil.muni.cz/oai/request?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc
The mapping is realized using the Metatag module and tokens, the available Drupal tokens have been expanded by the Digitalia Token module
