Eprints is the open-source software solution that serves as the backend for the Cardinal Scholar Institutional Repository. An Eprint archive like Cardinal Scholar is a collection of digital documents. OAI-compliance Eprint archives share the same metadata, making their contents interoperable with one another. Their metadata can then be harvested into global “virtual” archives, such as OAIster, that are seamlessly navigable by any user.
