Similarly to DOI, will an OAI (Open Archives Initiative) field be soon added to bibtex/biblatex styles?
3 Answers
With the help of experts, here is one solution that satisfies oai requirements. The oai references require a repository and a number such as, for instance oai:hal.example.com:hal-0000001 that can be used to reconstruct the actual internet address of the document of interest, here : http://hal.example.com/hal-000001/
The eprint and eprinttype fields together with the following definition shall be used:
\def\oaitourl#1:#2{#1/#2}
\DeclareFieldFormat{eprint:oai}%
{oai:\href{http://\oaitourl#1}{\nolinkurl{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\cite{EX}
\end{document}
together with, in the .bib file :
@TechReport{EX,
author = {Name, First name},
title = {Report},
institution = {INH},
year = {2010},
eprint = {hal.example.com:hal-000000001},
eprinttype = {oai}}
The thing is that it would be even better with an oai field directly in the .bib file.
edit: This approach requires the use of the biblatex package together with the biber engine.

I get this error with the command DeclareFieldFormat dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62073194/… Do you know why? Oct 30, 2013 at 11:39

@Masi you have to use
biblatexand the associatedbiberengine in this approach:\usepackage[style=numeric-comp,sorting=nyt, sortcites=true,autopunct=true,babel=hyphen,hyperref=true,backref=true]{biblatex}. From your file, you seem to be usingnatbibwithbibtexI would say. Am I correct?– plutonOct 30, 2013 at 12:12 -

@Masi please retry with
biblatexandbiberand let me know if it works.– plutonOct 30, 2013 at 18:16
I didn't find any reference to OAI in the Feature Tracker of the biblatex page at sourceforge. You should consider to create a feature request.

1after reading biblatex guide, I feel that considering a request on the oai field or offering a patch may be appropriate. Other people than just myself may be soon interested in this field.– plutonNov 17, 2010 at 18:36

@pluton: did you submit a feature request? I can't find any tickets with keyword
oai. Aug 28, 2015 at 15:53 -
@anderstood nope because I am quite happy with the provided solution. This could be requested as a feature, but I am not sure.– plutonAug 30, 2015 at 16:22
biblatex has resources for custom field types. (p. 26 of texdoc biblatex ) It would mean modifying the bibliography style (since none of the standard types make use of, say verba ). So it is already possible to make use of oai fields, with a little work...

yes, coming back to lockstep's suggestion and my original post, it may be a the bst-like style level that the oai field could be added. I'll try to investigate.– plutonNov 5, 2010 at 18:26
http://cel.archives-ouvertes.fr/cel-00451733/fr/See the reference page [last page] and reference Sidoroff. There is an oai reference with an hyperlink to the appropriate webpage. I think we should see more of this kind of link as long as pdf is the norm (which won't last soomuch longer).
