Editor: OAI Document Library is a document management application intended for the management and tracking of large amounts of documents in an organization. The OAI Document Library (OAI-DL) helps authors maintain their documents, automatically handling versioning, workflow, and expiration notification. It provides reviewers (librarians) with updates, fast approval, and overviews of all activity.
Information in the library can be accessed using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), meaning that besides being open source, the OAI-DL is an open data application. Because it’s open data, the OAI Document Library is easy to integrate with other systems, such as the Silva CMS or any other application capable of OAI-PMH harvesting.
For organizations in the UK, the OAI-DL has specific features that help ensure compliance with the Freedom of Information Act. For example, the application supports archiving via a custom Publication Scheme, following the FOI Act guidelines.
