An XML Schema for the rfc1807 metadata format

The following schema provides an XML transport for rfc1807 format metadata which may be used in conjunction with OAI-PMH. It was introduced in version 1.0 and revised (because of changes to XML Schema) in version 1.1 of the OAI-PMH.

It is recommended that the metadataPrefix "rfc1807" be used with this metadata format.
