| Abstract / Summary: |
Web-based digital libraries have historically been built in isolation utilizing
different technologies, protocols, and metadata. These differences
hindered the development of digital library services that enable users to
discover information from multiple libraries through a single unified interface.
The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAIPMH)
is a major, international effort to address technical interoperability
among distributed repositories. Arc debuted in 2000 as the first end-user
OAI-PMH service provider. Since that time, Arc has grown to include nearly
7,000,000 metadata records. Arc has been deployed in a number of environments
and has served as the basis for many other OAI-PMH projects,
including Archon, Kepler, NCSTRL, and DP9. In this article we review the
history of OAI-PMH and Arc, as well as some of the lessons learned while
developing Arc and related OAI-PMH services. |
