Microsoft Office Research Service for OAI repositories

I implemented a Microsoft Office Research with Apache Axis. It provides access to any OAI repository that supports SRU/SRW right from inside Microsoft Office.

Newer versions of Microsoft Office provide a sidebar that offers research services such as dictionary and thesaurus lookup. Microsoft has also provided an API to allow developers the ability to create their own research services.

I’ve created a service that uses this to provide OAI/SRW results in Office.
