ERRoLs
Extensible Repository Resource Locators (ERRoLs) for OAI Identifiers are a tool from the folks at OCLC Research.
An ERRoL is a "Cool URL" to metadata, content, and services related to registered Open Archive Initiative (OAI) repositories. Following the examples below, anyone can create/use a Cool URL to any metadata record or web resource related to supported OAI repositories.
The weblog entry at Outgoing is another good introduction.
