Hi Phil, You could technically run both at the same time; they don't know about each other. The simple OAI provider basically works without any configuration, so it's been an easy way for people to get their repositories exposed. The OAIProvider service (based on Proai) is considerably harder to get up and running, but the key advantages are that it runs separately from the Fedora Repository service and is quite a bit more configurable. For example, the "describe" page can be anything you want. The way the OAIProvider service works is dependent on the Resource Index being turned on. It can either be backed by Mulgara or MPTStore. Basically it periodically polls the resource index looking for updates. For any records of interest that have been updated since last time, it gets the content and caches it locally. Meanwhile, it responds to PMH requests on the front end using whatever's currently in the cache.
