Open Archives Initiative Releases Version 2.0 of the Protocol for Metadata

 Ithaca, NY & Los Alamos NM-

The Open Archives Initiative is pleased to release version 2.0 of the
Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). The
release of OAI-PMH v.2.0 comes after 16 months of worldwide
experimentation with version 1.x of the protocol, an 8 month revision
process by the OAI-tech group, and 4 months of alpha/beta testing. Thanks to
this rigid testing and revision, we feel confident to release the OAI-PMH
version 2.0 as a stable specification.
A full copy of this press release with information about the features of
OAI-PMH version 2 is available at
http://www.openarchives.org/news/oaiv2press020614.html.

The OAI-PMH version 2 specification is available at
