What is the OAI Protocol?
The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) is a protocol developed by the Open Archives Initiative. It is used to harvest (or collect) the metadata descriptions of the records in an archive so services can be built using metadata from many archives.

What is the OAI Protocol?
The OAI Protocol has been adopted by more than three thousand libraries, institutional repositories, and digital archives around the world.
Commercial search engines have employed OAI-PMH to acquire resources. For example Google uses the OAI Protocol to harvest information from the National Library of Australia Digital Object Repository.
Lookatme™ uses the OAI Protocol to share specific assets and metadata from several libraries, to the National Library of Australia (NLA). The assets of Lookatme™ clients are then discoverable via a search at NLA.

How would I benefit from a DAM with OAI Protocol support?
One of the key reasons for employing a Digital Asset Management solution is to make sizeable digital asset libraries discoverable. A Digital Asset Management library that does not support the OAI Protocol may constrain your ability to share or aggregate data with your industry partners.
Lookatme™ Digital Asset Management software supports the OAI Protocol, as well as many other standards, including Z39.50, utilized by digital asset libraries around the world.
OAI Protocol support is just one of the countless features that differentiate Lookatme™ DAM solutions from many better known, but less capable brands.
