What is the baseURL of my OAI server?

The baseURL is the URL for an OAI server, without any arguments. The institution hosting the OAI server decides the baseURL. The same baseURL is used for all OAI requests to a particular server; only the arguments (after the “?”) change for different OAI requests. The baseURL is indicated in the element in the OAI Identify response, and it is also indicated as the value of the element in all OAI responses. The indicated baseURL in either of these places should not include any arguments — it should be up to but not including the question mark.
