Open Archives Initiative Releases Version 2.0 of the Protocol for
Metadata Harvesting
Ithaca, NY & Los Alamos NM-The Open Archives Initiative is pleased to
release version 2.0 of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata
Harvesting (OAI-PMH). The release of OAI-PMH v.2.0 comes after 16 months
of worldwide experimentation with version 1.x of the protocol, an 8 month
revision process by the OAI-tech group, and 4 months of alpha/beta
testing. Thanks to this rigid testing and revision, we feel confident to
release the OAI-PMH version 2.0 as a stable specification.
A full copy of this press release with information about the features of
OAI-PMH version 2 is available at
http://www.openarchives.org/news/oaiv2press020614.html.
The OAI-PMH version 2 specification is available at
http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/openarchivesprotocol.htm.
