If you're only using one profile the main trick to provide over the protocol is to refer to the XSD generated by the component registry (available from the right-click Show Info menu option), e.g.
http://catalog.clarin.eu/ds/ComponentRegistry/rest/registry/profiles/clarin.eu:cr1:p_1271859438204/xsd
In the example below a record for an profile is transported over OAI-PMH.

In the case when you use muliple profiles it gets a bit more complex. The shortcommings of CMDI in this domain have been identified and a neat solution is underway for CMDI 1.2. In the mean time the easiest solution is to provide multiple CMDI related metadata prefixes for each profile one. However, they should all have http://www.clarin.eu/cmd/ as the metadataNamespace. This way the OAI harvester can identify which metadata prefixes deliver CMDI. See http://metalb.csc.fi/cgi-bin/que?verb=ListMetadataFormats for an example of this approach.

Or, in human words, how should I map my CMDI descriptions to the dublin core format that is compulsory when using OAI-PMH? The answer is: you probably know this the best, there is no single answer to this. It's probably a good idea to use common sense and to refer (minimally to the described resources with a :identifier element.
