<br>OAI-PMH encourages making metadata records available in formats other

OAI DC record as the OAI data provider, we also have a
longer record, say in TEI or MODS, from which the brief OAI DC record

<br>How does the OAI service provider handle that longer MODS/TEI
record? I understand that the OAIPMH service provider asks for a list of all metadata formats. Once it gets those, what does it do with them?<br><br>Does or can the Service Provider
also upload this longer record? Or does it just link/point to it on
