IST Humboldt-University, Berlin, Germany - Electronic Publishing Group - Computing Centre / University Library Susanne Dobratz, 28. March 2003, Berlin,3rd OAForum Workshop This Session: Reasons 1.As most projects the Open Archives Forum investigated with its technical validation questionnaire in 2002/2003 did this, it would be interesting to know 2.why projects create self-developed solutions, rather than building on existing tools? 3.Are the existing tools insufficient, or is OAI seen to be simple enough to be re-implemented?
