It would be interesting to me to also set up a pilot virtual archive of the
harvested open data records in our DataVerse network system. Which would
expose those resources to different communities. If this is all at CKAN I'd
need to be able to wrap the CKAN API in an OAI-PMH proxy.. Not sure how
trivial this is. And feeding the other way -- a number of virtual archives
are expose via OAI-PMH with CC'licenses, the licensing information is on a
LOCKSS manifest page -- so it the license, OAI set etc can be
programatically determined. Any interest in this as a data source?
