The Open Archives Initiative: application and exploitation

Royal College of Nursing, London W1
Wednesday 14th May 2003

A one-day seminar focusing on the application and exploitation of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)

This seminar is designed for those who wish to discover how the OAI protocol has been applied within specific projects. The emphasis will be on the practicalities of the application of OAI from the library, publisher and institutional perspectives and the aim is to give an all-round view of the implications of OAI as a workable solution to the tensions in scholarly communication. Issues to be covered include Intellectual Property Rights policies, advocacy and the library's role in these developments. Please note that this will not be a technical seminar.
