In Italy institutional repositories of theses are required to publish metadata as mpeg21 DIDL (available out of the box for EPrints or Dspace) for the harvesting and deposit process runned by the national libraries of Rome and Florence (http://www.depositolegale.it). take a look at this example from IR of University of Bologna[1] -- dii:Identifier is the html web page (jump off page) -- didl:Component represent each full text document composing the Item -- dc:rights use info:eu-repo vocabulary[2] full text documents under access limitations or embargo are allowed to be harvested only by defined IP of crawlers (heritrix, wget-warc) located inside the national libraries (also this with dspace or eprints is easy to do) here the guidelines from the Driver Project[3] which we borrowed [1] http://amsdottorato.cib.unibo.it/cgi/oai2?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=didl&identifier=oai:amsdottorato.cib.unibo.it:4182 [2] http://wiki.surffoundation.nl/display/standards/info-eu-repo [3] https://issue.guidelines.driver.research-infrastructures.eu/wiki/UseOfCompoundObjectWrapping ciao -- raffaele - @atomotic
