Data sets
FulltextFulltext data sets contain both the actual contents (often digitized and OCRd), as well as metadata about the documents. |
MetadataMetadata repositories contain bibliographic metadata records. When the documents described are available online, the metadata provides a link to them. |
VocabulariesControlled vocabularies such as thesauri, ontologies and authority files are referenced from bibliographic metadata. We provide access to controlled vocabularies mainly through the Finto service. |
OAI-PMHOAI-PMH is a protocol for harvesting metadata records in a repository. We provide OAI-PMH access to several document and metadata repositories. |

Our library systems support access via Z39.50 and SRU protocols for retrieving individual MARC records or relatively small batches of records. |
