OAI-PMH Data Provider Validation

Please enter base URL of the repository to be validated:


Note that the base URL you enter here must EXACTLY match the base URL returned in the Identify response. It must match in case (http://Wibble.org/ does not match http://wibble.org/) and include any trailing slashes etc.

Submitting this form will make some initial tests of the validation of the base URL you have submitted and then send an email to the adminEmail address specified in the Identify response. The email will contain a URL to confirm the request to validate the repository. This procedure has been adopted so that only the administrators of a repository or data provider can run the validation.

2025-07-18: This service no longer supports registration of OAI-PMH data providers. You are encouraged to register with specific aggregation services relevant to the content of your repository.
