Hi all, I would like to ask if it is possible to expose custom metadata in the OAI repository, I need to expose datacite and open aire schemas (custom vocabulary), is there a way?
or some other module?
Thank you!

I’m the author of the Omeka Classic OAI-PMH repository plugin; it’s the original basis for the Omeka S one, but it’s a different developer who writes and maintains that one.
What format are you trying to put this data into, in an OAI sense (oai_dc, something else)? The issue that frequently comes up with OAI-PMH is that the various metadata formats have schemas that define what they can carry, so adding extra fields isn’t necessarily straightforward in a standards-based way. Of course people often just stick other stuff onto the standard formats despite that, and if both sides know what they’re expecting, it can work out fine.
There’s an alternative option of crosswalking the data into one of the pieces of metadata the original format expects, but it doesn’t seem to me like that’s what you’re looking to do.
The Omeka Classic version of the repository has an “rdf” format: it’s the one that’s most clearly designed to be extensible and just take whatever data you have, but many harvesters don’t support it and will look for Dublin Core or specific formats for their own purposes instead. Regardless, from a quick look it doesn’t appear to me that the RDF format is actually supported by the Omeka S repository module.
I need to interoperate with a dspace 7.5 repository, it harvests my repository and they ask me to use, in addition to dublin core, datacite and oaire metadata (these created with custom vocabulary)
In the list of metadata formats, choosing simple_xml exposes custom metadata, now that I check it out the OAI repository.
I hope this could resolve my concern.
