Anatomy of an OAI Data Provider
•How are OAI responses generated?
–Static
•OAI responses are fed from a static copy of your records; the static copy is periodically updated from your live data (daily, weekly, monthly, irregularly, etc.)
•Staleness, minimal impact on your production system, may be amenable to certain turnkey solutions, easier to implement
–Dynamic
•OAI responses are generated directly from your live data
•Up-to-date, may impact production system, must be tightly integrated to production system, may be difficult to implement depending on your current systems and workflows
