[Dspace-general] OAI compliance?

[MacKenzie Smith]

Hi Jody,

The articles you cited were incorrect. DSpace has supported OAI since it's 
initial release, using the OAICat module from OCLC, and is currently 
supporting version 2.0 of the protocol. See 
http://dspace.org/technology/system-docs/functional.html#oai for details 
(the only inaccuracy there is that the system now supports resumption tokens).
