[OAI-implementers] new version of Repository Explorer

[Hussein Suleman]

hi

heres a little pre-announcement of sorts ...

i finally finished upgrading the repository explorer to include the
following additional features:
- multilingual interface support (English, French, German, Spanish,
Portuguese)
- support for local schema validation (so we dont need to connect to
www.openarchives.org for every check performed)
- color scheme customization
- parallel display of XML and parsed output
- ability to bypass schema validation for speed
- improved error reporting when not using schemas
- better code organization (so others can install it too)

try the following URLs

regular interface:
  http://rocky.dlib.vt.edu/~oai/cgi-bin/Explorer/1.0-1.1/testoai

German interface:
 
http://rocky.dlib.vt.edu/~oai/cgi-bin/Explorer/1.0-1.1/testoai?language=gr.lan  

blue color scheme:
http://rocky.dlib.vt.edu/~oai/cgi-bin/Explorer/1.0-1.1/testoai?bgcolor=00ddff&headercolor=4488ff&blockcolor=88ffff

please let me know if anything doesnt work ... i havent replaced the old
version yet ... also, the translations are all somewhat flaky since they
are machine generated ... i will appreciate any volunteers who can
create translation files - send me email - i have a simple text file
with the mappings that i can send to you and thereafter integrate back
into the program (Susanne, i think we spoke briefly about doing this a
few weeks ago)
