On 9 September, 2002, Xiaoming Liu (on behalf of the Digital Library Group in Old Dominion University), announced the availability of Arc through (SourceForge). Arc is a federated search service based on the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). It's released under the NCSA Open Source License. (The same Digital Library Group also created Kepler, which extends the OAI framework to support what this group calls "personal data providers" or "archivelets").

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
