[Note: Include here more accessible descriptions of components from the point of view of data managers. No jargon! Should have range of functionality from simple to more long-term ideas.]


Service Management

Integrated OAI harvester, scheduler, harvest logs and histories, integrated helpdesk, notifications, comprehensive OAI server test suite

Service Provider Registration

Authentication, user management

Service registration

Service interaction parameters, service description

Metadata Quality Improvement

Validation, metadata evaluation, normalization, creation of transformations (safe and collection-specific), service rating (gold stuff), aggregation of RSS feeds, controlled vocabulary crosswalking (based on metadata registry)

Submission Support

Recommendation service (basic editing, user management, small IR with no doc management), RSS feeds as beginning submission

Metadata Exposure

Validation, flexible OAI server, provenance exposure, multiple output formats (linked to schema and crosswalk registry)
