It needs other files:

• oaidp-config.php : Configuration of provider
• oaidp-util.php : Utility functions
• xml_creater.php : XML generating functions
• Actions:
  • identify.php : About the provider
  • listmetadataformats.php : List supported metadata formats
  • listrecords.php : List identifiers and records
  • listsets.php : List sets
  • getrecord.php : Get a record
    • Your own implementation for providing metadata records.

It also initiates:

• PDO datbase connection object $db.
• ANDS_XML XML document handler $outputObj.

Todo:

Remember: to define your own classess for generating metadata records. In common cases, you have to implement your own code to act fully and correctly. For generic usage, you can try the ANDS_Response_XML defined in xml_creater.php.
