Locating objects
Above form enables to localize a digital resource on the basis of its
unique OAI identifier. Syntax of the identifier is the following:
oai:<domain of the repository>:<an ID of a resource in the repository>
For example:
oai:www.wbc.poznan.pl:8711
Persistent references
It is possible to resolve OAI identifiers without the explicit use of the above form by using following URL:
http://fbc.pionier.net.pl/id/<identyfikator oai>
For example:
http://fbc.pionier.net.pl/id/oai:www.wbc.poznan.pl:8711
The URL-based approach to identifiers resolution is especially usefull for creating permanent references to digital
resources, e.g. for a bibliography.
Information about identifiers of an individual digital resources are often made accessible
by repositories on pages with the description of these resources.
