Apologies for duplication:

The Open Archives Initiative announces the beta release of the
Specification for an OAI Static Repository and an OAI Static Repository
Gateway. A Static Repository provides a simple approach for exposing
relatively static and small collections of metadata records through the
OAI-PMH.

This beta release follows a period of alpha testing during which
implementations were written to the specification and functional details
addressed. Public comment is invited during this beta period.  

The full press release is available at:

The specification is available at:

An accompanying XML Schema for Gateway Descriptions is available at:
