This document is one part of the Implementation Guidelines that accompany the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
Since the release of the MARCXML Schema for MARC21 metadata by the Library of Congress, June 2002, usage of MARCXML instead of oai_marc is strongly recommended.
A stylesheet supporting migration from oai_marc to MARCXML is provided on the MARCXML pages of the Library of Congress.
It is recommended that the metadataPrefix "marcxml"
be used with this metadata format.
Support for the development of the OAI-PMH and for other Open Archives Initiative activities comes from the Digital Library Federation, the Coalition for Networked Information, and from the National Science Foundation through Grant No. IIS-9817416. Individuals who have played a significant role in the development of OAI-PMH version 2.0 are acknowledged in the protocol document.
2002-06-14: Release of this document, combined with the release of OAI-PMH version 2.0.
