Conclusion
• Using OAI standards allows interoperability, howeverimplementation must be carefully done.
• Search is simplified: scientists search the KCE librarycatalogue to get a list of results describing documentspublished externally, including the LBI institutionalrepository
• Publications are better disseminated: description (metadata) is available as soon as a report is published
• KCE will activate the OAI server functionalities of itslibrary catalogue and register her repository to repertoriesand meta repositories
• Scientists search theKCE library catalogue,within a list of relevant(subsets of)repositories selectedby their informationspecialists
• Scientists get results inthe KCE librarycatalogue
• A link points to the full-text hosted by theproducing agency
• Settings must beverified to avoidinconsistency
(*) The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for MetadataHarvesting (OAI-PMH) provides an application-independentinteroperability framework based on metadata harvesting.
