Open Archives Initiative: Standards for Web Content Interoperability

La 'Open Archives Initiative' (iniciativa archivos abiertos), OAI, desarrolla y promueve los estándares de interoperabilidad que tienen como objetivo facilitar la difusión eficiente de contenidos. OAI tiene sus raíces en los movimientos de acceso abierto y repositorios institucionales. Con el tiempo, el trabajo de OAI se ha expandido para promover un amplio acceso a los recursos digitales para eScholarship, el eLearning y eCiencia.

"The Open Archives Initiative develops and promotes interoperability standards that aim to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. OAI has its roots in the open access and institutional repository movements. Continued support of this work remains a cornerstone of the Open Archives program. Over time, however, the work of OAI has expanded to promote broad access to digital resources for eScholarship, eLearning, and eScience."
