English abstract

'Digital Repositories or Archives’ or ‘Digital Libraries’ use a set of elements to describe the characteristics of each document. This set of elements is called metadata schema. Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) evolved as a means to achieve Interoperability among repositories. OAI-PMH mandates the oai_dc schema (based on unqualified Dublin Core) as a minimum standard for interoperability (Lowest Common Denominator).oai_dc is a simple format providing baseline interoperability. It may not be suitable for every repository, service or community to share only oai_dc. Many digital repositories have developed other metadata schemes, as per their specific needs, by extending oai_dc or with completely different set of elements. The author intends to identify all the metadata schemes being used by open access digital repositories with their popularity in terms of instances of their use.
