1 2/22/2016J Ammerman1 Open Archives Initiative What is it? What’s it good for?

2 2/22/2016J Ammerman2 History  E-print Repositories (archives) Self-archiving by authors Problems:  Multiple search interfaces  Lack of interoperability, particularly for sharing metadata

3 2/22/2016J Ammerman3 Two Approaches  Federated Searching Z39.50 searches across multiple repositories  √Create a single database to search Harvest metadata from multiple repositories Index and make searchable

4 2/22/2016J Ammerman4 Development of OAI-PMH*

5 2/22/2016J Ammerman5 Seven Key Definitions*  Harvester: client application issuing OAI-PMH requests  Repository: network accessible server, able to process OAI-PMH requests correctly  Resource: object the metadata is "about", nature of resources is not defined in the OAI-PMH – resources may be digital or non-digital  Item: component of an repository from which metadata about a resource can be disseminated; has an unique identifier  Record: metadata in a specific metadata format  Identifier: unique key for an item in a repository  Set: optional construct for grouping items in a repository
