Re: [Treebase-devel] [Treebase-guts] SF.net SVN: treebase:[192] trunk

[Ryan S. <rsc...@ne...>]

I think the community realized that all implementations will need  
essentially the same code for harvesting, while the service portion  
would be highly dependent on the exact use of the data. So most  
conversations revolve around the term "harvester", and the issues that  
are common to people who harvest data. In fact, we haven't yet decided  
exactly what TreeBASE will do with data that is harvested from Dryad,  
we only know that the harvesting step must come first.

The term "OAI-PMH data provider" is still widely used, though it is  
usually shortened to the more ambiguous form "OAI provider".
