OAI


GNU Eprints (EP) 2.1, free software which creates web-based archives containing documents and metadata, was released in early July. EP 2.1 supports OAI 2.0 and still supports OAI 1.1 as well. EP 2.1's new subscription service allows registered users to store one or more searchers. Eprints' name change to GNU Eprints reflects its acceptance into the GNU project. Eprints allows organizations to create web-based archives (e-print services) for their research articles, lecture notes and other documents and associated metadata.
