OAI Visualisation Tool online
Dave Nichols. Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008.
A prototype OAI metadata analysis tool – producing statistics and visualisations of repository metadata – is now online.
Usage notes:
- when clicking on the links of the left of the visualisation
you may need to configure your browser to allow popups fromnzdl.org
- producing the analysis report does take some time (e.g. the whole of IDEALS at Illinois takes about 20-25 minutes) – so, initially, we suggest using the max records option to limit the number of items processed
There also is a short feedback survey where you can add comments and suggestions for new features.

Hi there,
I found and used this tool last week and found it very useful for exploring our own repository. I used it to export a list of our metadata for analysis & re0use in the customised search interface I’m building: http://www.iriss.ac.uk/openlx/
I just a have a couple of questions:
* It’s down right now – will it be back online?
* Will you be releasing the source for this tool?
thanks v much

It will become part of the main GS3 distribution,
so you will be able to have local/private version
running if you want.
You can track our progress on this issue here:

Here is a short paper about it:
