The session will present key details of how the OAI-PMH works as a protocol, how it fits into the NSDL infrastructure, and some guidance on generic OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata provider implementations currently available. Presentations will elaborate on the OAI's "Implementation Guidelines for OAI-PMH," will discuss common questions and problems that arise when first implementing OAI-PMH for NSDL, and will talk about some of the metadata authoring and workflow issues that must be addressed when implementing OAI-PMH for NSDL. The session will provide a venue for answering questions related to OAI-PMH implementation and use. There will also be information on what the core Metadata Repository desires from an OAI-PMH implementation, and why.

Note that the checklist for OAI repository implementers is already being updated. We hope to have the new checklist up in the metadata primer very soon.
The new checklist is now there - have at it! - Naomi
