You can use On-Server archivelet to
create and maintain a virtual archivelet for yourself on the group server. After creating
your archivelet, you will be able to use just a web browser to publish and edit your
metadata and to upload your fulltext documents.
All the metadata and the fulltext documents are stored on the server and are available for
OAI harversters to come and harvest your collection. The archivelet also has a persistent
URL for harvesting which you can give to any OAI-compliant harvester to harvest your
archivelet.
This On-Server Archivelet solution is best if you have your computer behinde firewalls
and/or NAT proxies. You do not need any special configuration for these devices as long as
you have connection to the Internet.
