Summary
In 2003 the project DARE (Digital Academic REpositories) was started, to shape the co-ordination between individual scientific data providers. The metadata in Dublin Core, included by the data providers (institutional repositories) is harvested according to set technologies. These technologies and the first initiatives stem from the e-print movement, intended to quickly and efficiently distribute scientific results among fellowscientists, largely within the domain of natural sciences. The OAI technical infrastructure has been elaborated in the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).[1]. In The Netherlands, the OAI-PMH protocol was first adopted in small-scale initiatives with open access publishers and archives. Content currently includes materials such as research journal articles and digital versions of theses and dissertations, but it may in the future include other digital assets generated in normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects
