| == Overview ==
| |
| | |
| Open Archives is a portal and aggregator of open historical data. By re-using open data from archives and researchers Open Archives makes an innovative portal which makes historical data from indexed sources available to end users in a user-friendly and innovative way. The innovation is especially evident with the automatic linking to other records, people in other data sources and additional context information.
| |
| | |
| Open data allows for innovation! With this in mind, all data within Open Archives is also provided in an unambiguous manner as open data via an API and OAI-PMH data provider so that other developers can get to work. This makes Open Archives an aggregator of open historical data.
