This document is largely based on discussions between repository managers and SURF. They have offered their experience and suggestions to create the DRIVER Guidelines as presented in this document.
Source material
The DRIVER Guidelines are based on and refer to, the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, Protocol version 2.0.
See: http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html
The order of presentation of the DRIVER Guidelines is the same as in the protocol text. When useful, the protocol text is quoted. When the text has been changed, e.g. bold added to highlight some part of the text, this has been indicated between brackets.
