Notes from SHARE criteria:

(1) Does metadata gathering violate your terms of service? No
If so, are we granted explicit, written rights to gather data? N/A

(2) Does metadata gathering violate your privacy policy? No
If so, are we granted explicit, written rights to gather data? N/A

(3) Does our sharing the metadata we gather from you violate your policies? No
If so, are we granted explicit, written license to share/re-license the metadata? It depends on the CC license you choose. Abstracts probably can’t be CC Zero.

(4) What is the license of the metadata (for example, CC Zero)? We don’t have one (at the moment).
Does that license extend to those beyond the group that gathered it? N/A
If unlicensed, will you explicitly license the content? Yes, except the abstracts. We can share the abstracts, we just can’t allow the application of a CC Zero license to them.

In order to technically prepare for harvesting data from your repository we need the information about your OAI-PHM endpoint for harvesting your metadata for research release event reports:

(5) Provide OAI-PMH connection information for your repository.

Base URL: http://www.escholarship.org/uc/oai
Overview of our OAI-PMH interface: http://www.escholarship.org/help_oaipmh.html

(6) Provide any distinguishing characteristics of research outputs in your repository or sets that represent research outputs (as distinct from cultural heritage materials).
I’m not exactly sure what you’re looking for. The content in eScholarship is primarily original scholarly works (articles, monographs, etc.), postprints (previously published articles), grey literature (e.g. working papers) and Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs). We have a small amount of streaming media and images, both as supplemental material and as the primary object.

The CDL eScholarship provider document is now available in the repo. We can use it to keep the latest information about eScholarship in one place.

I've made a preliminary eScholarship parser (link forthcoming in the readme), but you can see it now https://github.com/erinspace/eScholarship
