[OAI-implementers] Problem with OAICat software

Hi,

We have been using for a while the OAICat software, the OAI-PMH repository
Java framework from the OCLC
(http://www.oclc.org/research/software/oai/cat.htm.)

This library generates a "description" node in the Identify response with a
reference to this schema:
http://oai.dlib.vt.edu/OAI/metadata/toolkit.xsd

We've noted that in the last days the address "oai.dlib.vt.edu" is not
working. The DNS is resolving the address to the IP 128.173.49.52
(rocky.dlib.vt.edu), but the server doesn't respond.

As the address does not work, the scheme file cannot be found, and our
repository is not correctly validated.

Does anyone know if this error can be avoided in some way, if the schema has
moved or if the server will be running again in the future?

Thanks,

Jesús L. Domínguez Muriel
