RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2022 / Auto-Graphics, Inc. announced the implementation of OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) with its digital collections management software, MONTAGE.
The OAI-PMH is a protocol developed by the Open Archives Initiative to ensure interoperability between digital repositories. Taking advantage of repositories (data providers) and services (service providers) that offer metadata using OAI-PMH will allow libraries' resources better visibility and access. For example, many discovery services (the "harvester") use OAI-PMH metadata for indexing open-access institutional repository articles.
By participating in the OAI-PMH, MONTAGE can now serve as a data provider to ensure libraries' metadata can easily be discovered by researchers and institutions around the world.
Auto-Graphics is supporting V2 of the OAI-PMH. It is currently in QA and expects to be live by Fall 2022.
MONTAGE is fully seamless with all other Auto-Graphics software platforms as a digital repository: it is fully searchable from both SHAREit and VERSO.
