English abstract

The authors describe the OAI-PMH protocol (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) used for the interchange of metadata on the internet. Analysed are questions such as the context in which the protocol was born –communities of scientific documents repositories– and how it has evolved and extended its reach to include any material in electronic format. Its architecture, based on the client/server model, is briefly described. Clients, which are called "archives",place Dublin Core metadata in the public domain in order for servers or service providers to retrieve this metadata and to build added value services for end users. Communication between archives and services takes place using the http protocol. Questions and replies are coded in xml. The authors conclude with a review of the main institutions that have implemented the protocol, user services based on it, and software tools that facilitate the creation of open archives.

Spanish abstract

Se describe el protocolo OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative - Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) utilizado para la transmisión de metadatos en Internet. Se analiza el contexto en el que nació, las comunidades de depósitos de documentos científicos y cómo se ha desarrollando y extendido su alcance a cualquier material en formato electrónico. Se describe brevemente su arquitectura basada en el modelo cliente - servidor donde los primeros, llamados archivos, ponen a disposición del público metadatos en formato Dublin Core para que puedan ser recuperados por los segundos. La comunicación se realiza mediante el protocolo http. Las respuestas están codificadas en XML. Finalmente se hace una revisión de las principales instituciones que lo han implementado, los servicios que se han basado en él y se dan una serie de herramientas que facilitan la creación de archivos abiertos.
