The Library of the
University
of
Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has created and implemented a suite of Open
Archives Initiative (OAI)-based metadata harvesting services, search
services, and tools designed to facilitate discovery and retrieval of
certain classes of scholarly works, thereby making visible portions of
the currently "hidden" Web of scholarly information resources. This work
is complementary with and carried on in concert with a related project
conducted by the University of Michigan Digital Library Extension Service.
The OAI Metadata Harvesting Project at Illinois focused on creating a deep,
domain-specific portal designed to search metadata describing selected
manuscript archives and digitized cultural heritage information
resources. Software developed by this project has been made available
under an Open Source Initiative license. This is one of seven metadata
harvesting projects funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation. Our final
report is available.
