DP9


Not new, but something I've not mentioned before is DP9.
DP9 is a gateway service that enables indexing of an OAI data provider by an Internet search engine. DP9 does this by providing a persistent URL for repository records, and converting this to an OAI query against the appropriate repository when the URL is requested. This allows search engines that do not support the OAI protocol to index the "deep web" contained within OAI compliant repositories. We envision that similar gateway services for other protocols are promising to make a wide range of resources interopable with the web.
The issue of Library hi tech on OAI reminded me of this tool.
