The OAI service provides
 * DC metadata example
 * ISO 19139 metadata
 * DIF metadata
 * DataCite metadata
 * internal PANGAEA XML schema.

While harvesting without any set spec, the system will provide all datasets. The type of datasets could be specified (e.g. projects, or water/sediment/athmosphere data). To get all citable top-level data sets (which are mostly supplements to publications), citable should be used as set name, e.g.


 * http://ws.pangaea.de/oai/provider?verb=ListRecords&set=citable&metadataPrefix=oai_dc (OAI-PMH Dublin Core)
 * http://ws.pangaea.de/oai/provider?verb=ListRecords&set=citable&metadataPrefix=iso19139 (ISO 19139)
 * http://ws.pangaea.de/oai/provider?verb=ListRecords&set=citable&metadataPrefix=dif (DIF Data Interchange Format)

examples:
