OAI Data Providers
few projects / institutions with working OAI interfaces
most participants: intend to make data bases OAI complient
resources:documents
multimedia objects (photographs, drawings, recordings, ...)
learning materials, scholar materials
journals
year books
...
3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Own Implementations
reasonsoften: just do not know about existing tools
early implementors
sometimes easier to solve special problems (do not have to adapt existing tools)
want to re-use existing systems
specialists for certain programming languages / data bases
3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Using Existing Tools
reasonsall-in-one-package
support (mailing lists etc.)
open source
eprints.org (Southampton University)most used tool
seems to be best package solution
DSpace (MIT)– too complicated to install– provides only “googlish” search

Technological Issues
Search Engines vs. Dynamic Information“blind hole” can be closed by the OAI-PMH
Language problems occur for service providersshould have translation services

Organisational Issues
Definition of SetsHow should sets be defined using OAI?
Necessary: Agreements above the protocol (e.g. CIMI) including syntax (set names) and semantics (meaning)
service provider & universal set definitions for museums / media community not existent: probably task for CIMI
3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Special Presentations
AdLIB Information Systemssearch engine and internet server (display collections)
provide OAI interface (2.0 not complete yet, 1.1 fully implemented and tested)
possibility to define mapping between internal database and metadata fields
Ukrainian Catholic University (Institute of Church History)
several multimedia projects (images, recordings ...)
not yet OAI compatible
but: interested in Open Access
