Data Provider
A Data Provider maintains one or more repositories (web servers) that support
the OAI-PMH as a means of exposing metadata.
(OAI definition quoted from FAQ on OAI Web site)
Service Provider
A Service Provider issues OAI-PMH requests to data providers and uses the
metadata as a basis for building value-added services.
(OAI definition quoted from FAQ on OAI Web site)
A Service Provider in this manner is "harvesting" the metadata exposed by Data
Providers
