This XML Schema specifies the structure of an OAI-PMH Static Repository. A Static Repository is an XML file that is valid according to this XML Schema and is described in http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/guidelines-static-repository.htm A Static Repository is made accessible as an XML file on a standard web-server. No special software is required at the end of the organization that makes the Static Repository available. A Static Repository becomes harvestable via the OAI-PMH through the intermediation of a Static Repository Gateway. This Static Repository XML Schema by Herbert Van de Sompel and Henry N. Jerez (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Research Library, Digital Library Research and Prototyping Team; original 2002-10-26), and Simeon Warner (Cornell University). Inspired by the Vida work by Steven Bird for OAI-PMH v1.0 and for the Open Languages Archives Community; see http://www.language-archives.org/docs/implement.html#Vida beta2 release: 2004-03-30 $Date: 2004/03/30 16:40:50 $ The Repository element has 2 child elements, Identify and ListMetadataFormats, that are derived from the OAI-PMH v2.0 XML Schema. The third element, ListRecords, is repeatable and is an extension of the ListRecords defined in the OAI-PMH v2.0 XML Schema; it has an additional attribute indicating the metadataPrefix of the included metadata records. The ListRecords element contains all records with metadata expressed in one of the metadata formats supported by the Static Repository. The mandatory metadataPrefix attribute specifies the metadataPrefix of the included metadata; it must correspond with a value of the metadataPrefix element contained in the ListMetadataFormats element.
