Is http://harvesters.sfu.ca/demo being maintained?

[ambs]

Hello

I am confused about http://harvesters.sfu.ca/demo. Is it just a demo, or it is a demo thank is trying to offer a service to the community?

If it is the first, probably it would be great to make it clear in some place other than the URL

If it is the second case, when is the harvester run? I added Linguamática some time ago and no articles/records were imported...

Thanks
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

I believe the answer to your questions is "yes", sort of. The Harvester is a demo, and we have not made any effort to monitor or otherwise evaluate the collections and records added to it. But just the same, it does have quite a bit of real information stored in it. We've talked internally about what to do with it here and there, and chances are we'll take it down in the near future; but we're not sure just yet if we'll try replacing it with another curated harvester for specifically OxS content or not.

Cheers,
James

Rightnow, the page http://harvesters.sfu.ca/demo/ say "This OHS demonstration site is currently not available." Does anyone have other demo. I want to see before installation

Hi alexrianz,

There are many examples of OHS online; for example, see http://asiajol.info/ (which isn't the newest release but is fairly close to what you can expect). Of course, you won't be able to explore the administration side of it.
