Editorial commentary
ResourceSync was designed by the NISO ResourceSync working group as a modern alternative to OAI-PMH that exchanges resources (not only metadata) and that builds on the Sitemap protocol already widely used for Web crawler hinting. Documents in the ResourceSync framework include Resource List, Change List, Resource Dump, and Capability List. Push extensions allow source servers to notify destinations via HTTP POST when resources change.
