“…Most notable among these tools, which serve as a middleware layer between the repository and the clients, are (i) Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata harvesting (OAI-MPH) [14] which is a protocol that provides a technology-independent framework for retrieving documents or resources, thus enabling interoperability among systems; and (ii) Simple Query Interface (SQI) [8] that is formed by a set of abstract methods based on web services. SQI is also is neutral in terms of the format of results as well as query language.…”

This study proposes AIREH (Architecture for Intelligent Retrieval of Educational content in Heterogeneous Environments) that is a model for the development of digital content retrieval based on the paradigm of virtual organizations of intelligent agents Learning objects have made it possible to create digital resources that can be reused in various didactic units. These resources are stored in repositories, and thus require a search process that allows them to be located and retrieved.

“…As such, the XML Signature syntax follows the scenario outlined in Row 5 of Table 3. [23] has been widely adopted as an approach to facilitate discovery of distributed resources. The OAI-PMH achieves this by providing a simple, yet powerful, framework for metadata harvesting.…”

“…The solution is based on the combination of standards that have emerged recently. The standards that play a core role in the design include: the MPEG-21 Digital Item Declaration (MPEG-21 DID) [17,18], the MPEG-21 Digital Item Identification (MPEG-21 DII) [5,19], the W3C XML Signature Syntax and Processing standard [2], and the Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) [23]. The core characteristics of the solution are:…”

This article describes results of a collaboration between the Research Library of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the American Physical Society (APS) aimed at designing and implementing a robust solution for the recurrent transfer of digital assets from the APS collection to LANL. In this solution, various recent standards are combined to obtain an asset transfer framework that should be attractive as a means to optimize content transfer in environments beyond the specific APS/LANL project. The proposed solution uses an XML-based complex object format (the MPEG-21 Digital Item Declaration Language) for the application-neutral representation of compound digital assets of all sorts. It uses a pull-oriented HTTP-based protocol (the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) that allows incrementally collecting new and updated assets, represented as XML documents, from a producing archive. It builds on an XML-specific technique (W3C XML Signatures) to provide guarantees regarding authenticity and accuracy of the transferred assets.

“…These technical developments were accompanied by the Open Archives Initiative and the Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) released on January 2001 to ensure system interoperability. 1 The Internet and the Web provide basic platforms for the individual distribution of research documents (e.g. through personal homepages or departmental servers).…”

Is it worth establishing institutional repositories? The strategies for open access to Spanish peer‐reviewed articles

We examine open access to the Spanish scientific literature via investigation of a sample of peer‐reviewed articles in seven subject categories. Of the 28,259 papers published in 2000, 26.89% were freely accessible, with the share varying among disciplines. Articles in the social and behavioral sciences were the most widely available for free. This disciplinary divide applies also to the strategies used to offer open access to documents. In clinical medicine, life sciences, arts and humanities and social sciences open access was mainly based on the publishers' side, while subject‐based repositories were dominant in physical, chemical and earth sciences and deposit on homepages was the preferred strategy in engineering, computing and technology. Institutional and general repositories seem to play a minor role in providing free access to the Spanish peer‐reviewed literature. Papers published in commercial journals are less accessible than those that appear in non‐commercial journals, and we found overlaps in almost 20% of papers deposited. The fastest way to gain open access is to deposit in subject‐based repositories and the longest delays are related to deposits in homepages and especially to institutional repositories. Open access to Spanish peer‐reviewed articles is dominated by the passive mechanism of the “gold route” and the editorial strategy with self‐archiving practices in the minority and directed mainly towards subject‐based repositories and homepage posting of the papers. The results of this study could serve as a reference point for further study on the evolution of open access in Spain.
