CLIR/DLF primer
Some themes
Consolidation: fragmentation gets in the way Industrialization: much of our metadata creation
is a cottage industry: current approaches will not scale
Cost: value Intellectual and machine: need to work harder to
programmatically create metadata Institutions and service: move from projects to
service

OAI
A way of ‘publishing’ processable metadata on the network
A way of synchronizing databases
And …
The same for resources themselves? A nice building block for other services

An example
Following pages show some experimentalservices where OAI is used to ‘publish’ metadata.
There is a WIKI interface to metadatastores managed under OAI.
