I realise that a lot of people may already know this.... but I only
realised it recently:
standard OAI-PMH is Dublin Core (I knew that bit), however not only can

a whole range of different formats over OAI-PMH: which means the the
Repository Junction Broker will be able to provide its rich metadata
export via OAI-PMH as well as through its transfer routine for subscribers.
