How can i use Eprints like a harvester?
Find out what the API of the target gives back, write an importer to handle that, and then run a regular cron-job to get the latest records from the target, and import them using your new importer
(that's basically what we do with the Router.... except we get the data fed to us via SWORD or FTP - we have written importers that translate the metadata sent to us into the fields we use in our EPrints)
