_Open Content and Access for Digital Scholarship_

"The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
(OAI-PMH) provides an application-independent
interoperability framework based on metadata harvesting. There are two
classes of participants in the OAI-PMH
framework: Data Providers and Service Providers. Data Providers
administer systems that support the OAI-PMH
as a means of exposing metadata from digital collections or
repositories; while Service Providers use metadata harvested
via the OAI-PMH as a basis for building value-added services. In this
presentation we will profile several major OAI-PMH Data
and Service Providers, and describe and discuss their innovative
content, features, and functionalities."
