Hi, Hardik~ Data providers distribute metadata about items (i.e. a DSpace instance like http://ucispace.lib.uci.edu/).
Service providers generally make use of the metadata distributed by data providers. For example, OAIster scans the records of more than 1,000 data providers, and provides federated searching (http://www.oclc.org/oaister/). ~Caryn -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Dspace-general] OAI-PMH as a Data Provider and as a Service Provider From: Hardik Mishra <[email protected]> To: General List <[email protected]> Date: 3/8/2010 2:58 AM > Hello Everyone > > What is the difference between OAI-PMH as a Data Provider and as a > Service Provider ? > > Best Regards > Hardik Mishra > > Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
