Tutorial: OAI-PMH - Configure Remote Data Provider (Admin User)

1. Login administrator.
2. Administrator (User menu) > Administration > Admin Dashboard. NOTES:
   • We must first configure a data provider (which is like a remote data repository) before we can search it (similar to federated search).
   • We must configure it to support various OAI-PMH protocol commands such as identify, metadata, and sets - providing crucial information about how it may be searched.
3. Admin Dashboard > Identity.
4. Edit.
5. Check status.
6. Admin Dashboard > Metadata Formats.
7. Templates as Metadata Formats > Add Metadata Format.
8. Choose from a set of pre-loaded/uploaded metadata templates. (If necessary upload additional metadata templates before configuring metadata formats here).
9. Admin Dashboard > Request Builder.
10. Add a new Data Provider: Admin Dashboard > Data providers > Add.

   NOTE:

   • We can optionally add sets to organize the templates into meaningful categories (but we didn't this time).

Now, let's add the OAI-PMH repository now for remote searching.
