  2. Why Another OAI Registry • Difficulty finding relevant OAI repositories to harvest, especially in selecting individual sets within a repository • Other questions: • Which repositories are aggregating other repositories? • How big are individual repositories? • How to find new repositories as they come online? • What is the state of the OAI world? • Enable other meta services ECDL 2004, Bath, U.K.

  5. New Features • Classify repositories (GEM?) • Automate repository maintenance • Better record counts for each repository • Identify which repositories are aggregators • Open for suggestions… ECDL 2004, Bath, U.K.
