  <para> Please note that currently the total numbers of metadata returned by the <xref
25
      linkend="cha_http-api"/> and the <xref linkend="cha_oai_pmh"/> are different because the first
26
    discards duplicates. </para>

  <para> The behaviour of the OAI-PMH publisher will be updated soon to not export
28
    duplicates.</para>
