The document summarizes the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), including its history and key standards/protocols. Specifically, it discusses how OAI: 1) Develops and promotes interoperability standards to facilitate dissemination of scholarly content across repositories. 2) Arose from efforts to increase access to e-print archives and has expanded to generalize across all web-based information. 3) Defines the Open Archives Metadata Set and OAI Metadata Harvesting Protocol to expose metadata for harvesting and development of new services.

3. • an organization to develop and apply technical
interoperability standards for archives to share
catalog information (metadata).
• It attempts to build a "low barrier
interoperability framework " for archives
institutional repositories containing digital
content (digital libraries).

4. institutional repositories
>are digital collections of the outputs created
within a university or research institution.
>an online archive of an instution’s scholarly
papers,deposited by their authors.
Example of institutional repositories

7. • OAI standards allow a common way to provide
content, and part of those standards is that
the content has metadata that describes the
items in Dublin Core format.

12. The word “Open Archive”(OA)frequently conjure
up images of information access without any
associated cost or restriction or limit.
“Repository” is frequently used as a synonym for
an OA.In the traditional DL context, a repository
is a collection of digital objects, but in the context
of the OAI, it has to be network accessible and it
has to support the OAI Metadata Harvesting
Protocol.

13. 1. Develops and promotes interoperability
standards that aim to facilitate the efficient
dissemination of content.
2. Has its roots in an effort to enhance access to
e-print archives as a means of increasing the
availability of scholar communication.

14. Conceived as the Universal Preprint Service (UPS).
• Oct. 1999 First meeting in Santa Fe, NM, a forum to
discuss and solve matters of interoperability between
author self-archiving solutions (I.e. eprints). Re-named
the Open Archives Initiative.
• Feb. 2000 Santa Fe Convention released, defining the
technical and organizational framework.
• Sept. 2000 OAI extends interoperability framework
beyond eprints – develops and promotes
interoperability standards that aim to facilitate the
efficient dissemination of content – and appoints
steering committee.

15. • Feb. 2000 Santa Fe Convention, defines:
– Open Archives Metadata Set
– Harvesting interface based on a subset of the
Dienst protocol.
• Jan. 2001 OAI Metadata Harvesting Protocol
(MHP) Version 1.0, an application-independent
interoperability framework that can be used by a
variety of communities engaged in publishing
content on the Web
• Jun. 2001 MHP Version 1.1 updated for W3C
XML Schema specification recommendation of
May 2001

16. Open Archive Initiatives Object Reuse and
Exchange
• the goal of these standard is to expose the rich
content in aggregations of web resources to
applications that support authority, deposit,
exchange, visualization, reuse and preservation.
• defines standards for the description and exchange
of aggregations of web resources.

17. the standards support the changing nature of
scholarship and scholarly communication, and
the need for cyber infrastructure to support
the scholarship, with the intent to develop
standards that generalize across all web-based
information including the increasing popular
social network of “Web 2.0”

19. Open Archives Initiative Protocol for
Metadata Harvesting
a mechanism that enables data providers to
expose their metadata—is seeing very rapid
deployment, and enables a fascinating array of
new services and system architectures for a
diverse set of communities.

20. is a protocol developed for harvesting (or
collecting) metadata descriptions of records in
an archive so that services can be built using
metadata from many archives.

23.  Data Providers
• administer systems that support the OAI-PMH as a means
of exposing metadata. adopt the OAI technical framework
as a means of exposing metadata about their content.
 Service Providers
• is a company that provides organizations with consulting,
legal, real estate, education, communications, storage,
processing, and many other services.
• harvest metadata from data providers using the OAI
protocol and use the metadata as the basis for value-added
services.

26. • What is Open Archives Initiatives (OAI)?
Develops and promotes interoperability
standards that aim to facilitate the efficient
dissemination of content.
• Interoperability
Connection of computer to other computer
which make scholarly communications like
academic journals available,associated with open
access publishing movement.
• Institutional repositories
Specific example in BSU is the BSU virtual library.

27. • Open Archives Intiative Timeline
The summary of the history of the OAI.
• Open Technical Framework
It contains the basic structure of Oai.Mhp-
metadata Harvesting Protocol while Xml-
extensible Markup Language.
• OAI-ORE
Vocabulary word:
1.Scholarly communication process of
academic,scholars,and researchers sharing and
publishing their research findings so that they
are available to the wider academic community.

28. 2.Cyber infrastructure to describe research
environments that support advanced data
acquisition,data storage,data management,data
mining,data integration and other computing
and information processing services distributed
over the internet beyond the scope of a single
institution.
• Oai-pmh
Two Classes of Participants:
1.Data providers
2.Service providers
