Abstract
The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) develops and promotes interoperabil ity solutions that aim to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. The roots of the OAI lie in the E-Print community. Over the last year its focus has been extended to include all content providers. This paper describes the recent history of the OAI - its origins in promoting E-Prints, the broadening of its focus, the details of its technical standard for metadata harvesting, the applications of this standard, and future plans.

The Warwick Framework: A Container Architecture for Aggregating Sets of Metadata
104 Citations1996Carl Lagoze, Clifford A. Lynch +1 more
The Warwick Framework is a container architecture for aggregating logically, and perhaps physically, distinct packages of metadata that promotes interoperability and extensibility by allowing tools and agents to selectively access and manipulate individual packages and ignore others.
