We will need metadata for the MDL+Flickr project as well as image data. We've decided to grab the metadata from OAI, since Reflections already runs an OAI server.

MDL Reflections OAI is at http://reflections.mndigital.org/cgi-bin/oai.exe?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc

With "set=jhs" it just gets JHSUM records...

http://reflections.mndigital.org/cgi-bin/oai.exe?verb=ListRecords&set=jhs&metadataPrefix=oai_dc

To get just one record, use its identifier, in this case "identifier=oai:reflections.mndigital.org:jhs/71"

http://reflections.mndigital.org/cgi-bin/oai.exe?verb=GetRecord&identifier=oai:reflections.mndigital.org:jhs/71&metadataPrefix=oai_dc

Remember, all results in XML.

First demonstration

This is my first demonstration of how such retrieval can work.

Getting everything

Listing only the identifiers...

Notes

This is a really fast and easy way to grab the metadata for a Reflections object. Should I be using this for the SSR as well? One issue may be accommodating complex objects.
