Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting

OAI-PMH is a client/server architecture protocol specification that facilitates the diffusion of metadata e.g.:

Resource description of the resource (title, author, date of publishing, publisher, etc.)
Resource location on the Internet (indicated by the URL)

The client sends a request to the server to which the response is an XML flow. The harvesting is done on non-qualified Dublin Core elements, to which additional elements (e.g. in MARC format) may optionally be attached.

OAI-PMH supports two key functions:

Metadata provision – an institution exposes its metadata (bibliographic records in Dublin Core) via an OAI=PMH server to enable them to be harvested by other organisations or Internet search engines.
Service provision – an institution harvests metadata offered by OAI-PMH from other institutions integrating them into its own search index for use in its own user interface.
