From the press release: "A Static Repository is an XML file that is made accessible at a persistent HTTP URL. The XML file contains metadata records and repository information [a lot like an RSS file, in other words - SD]. A Static Repository provides a simple approach for exposing relatively static and small collections of metadata records through the OAI-PMH. The Static Repository approach is targeted at organizations that have metadata collections ranging in size between 1 and 5000 records, can make static content available through a network-accessible Web server, and need a technically simpler implementation strategy compared to acting as an OAI-PMH Repository, which requires processing OAI-PMH requests." Perfect. Just what the doctor ordered.
