The Bavarian Digital Repository (BDR) is developed to be a freely accessible interface for harvesting metadata about all digital representations produced by or in cooperation with the Bavarian State Library. Metadata is derived from B3Kat and BSB ILS. Each data record is published under CC0-Public Domain Dedication.
BDR conforms to the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
http://bdr.oai.bsb-muenchen.de/OAIHandler?verb=Identify
Each record describes the digitised exemplar of a work. If several exemplars of one work are digitised, several records will exist in BDR as well. Metadata are provided in Dublin Core and MarcXchange (http://bdr.oai.bsb-muenchen.de/OAIHandler?verb=ListMetadataFormats).
MarcXchange transports data in MARC21 strongly according to the specifications documented in Konkordanz MAB2 – MARC 21.
Regionally and locally defined MARC21 fields, specifically assigned fields:
| 001 | BDR-ID; Example: BDR-BV001159101-62175 |
| 940 Ind.1=_ | Bibliographic Identifier of the source system |
| Subfield a: Identifier of the catalogue system | |
| Subfield b: Identifier of the OAI-PMH repository | |
| 940 Ind.1=1 | Regional and local codes (MAB 078) |
| Subfield e: selection code ebooks | |
| Subfield f: selection code language area | |
| Subfield n: selection code interlibrary bibliographies and projects | |
| Subfield q: library-specific selection codes | |
| 940 Ind.1=2 | Subfield r: ISIL of revising library (in the context of VD18, i.e. bibliography of books printed in German-speaking countries in the 18 th century, MAB 088 subfield r) |
| 955 | Data of the exemplar |
| Subfield a: Shelfmark | |
| Subfield b: Possessing institution | |
| Subfield c: Institution's ISIL | |
| 982 | Hyperlink to thumbnail image |
You can select several different sets (http://bdr.oai.bsb-muenchen.de/OAIHandler?verb=ListSets):
| all | All works comprised in the Bavarian Digital Repository (BDR). All subsequent sets are subsets of 'all'. |
| cerl | Digitised manuscripts of the Bavarian State Library |
| dgt | Bavarian State Library digital resources that are curated with DigiTool |
| digi19 | Works digitised at the Bavarian State Library that are printed in the 19 th century |
| digi20 | Works digitised at the Bavarian State Library that are printed in second half of 20 th century (Digi20 project) |
| europeana | Works digitised at the Bavarian State Library that are delivered to Europeana. At the moment, this set is identic with the set "all". |
| ostdok | Works digitised at the Bavarian State Library that are part of the project "OstDok" |
| vd16 | Works digitised at the Bavarian State Library that are part of the bibliography of books printed in German-speaking countries in the 16 th century (VD16) |
| vd17 | Works digitised at the Bavarian State Library that are part of the bibliography of books printed in German-speaking countries in the 17 th century (VD17) |
| vd18 | Works digitised at the Bavarian State Library that are part of the bibliography of books printed in German-speaking countries in the 18 th century (VD18) |
| zssbd | Serial volumes digitised at the Bavarian State Library |
Search for all records:

The total number of records can be found as attribute completeListSize of element resumptionToken. One record can be enclosed in several sets. A digitised 18th century work for example is part of the sets "all", "europeana" and "vd18". As the set name is part of the OAI identifier, the same record can be found with three different identifiers.
