OAI-PMH pecularity in DSpace-CRIS

DSpace-CRIS extends the functionalities of the OAI-PMH Server on three area:

1. the index script identifies object to include in the OAI core (or to update) querying the search SOLR core. This mean that DSpace-CRIS must be indexed (discovery) before to run the XOAI script.  It is possible to configure a custom query to limit the amount of objects to index in addition to the standard capability to limit the OAI objects to expose over a specific OAI Context.
2. the XOAI document embed information from the 1st level linked objects, i.e. data about person that have authored a publication or organisations that have funded a project
3. nested metadata are stored in the XOAI document ensuring the possibility to read them as a whole group so to associate for instance the affiliation used in a publication with the specific author

The XOAI script has an additional option -t that allow to specify which type of entity is indexed: item, rp, project, ou, other, all.

The item.compile of the XOAI document embed the information of the linked object where available (i.e. when the authority points to a CRIS object) just after the metadata inside an <element name="authority" /> tag keeping the right sequence
