It has its roots in an effort to enhance access to e-print archives as a means of increasing the availability of scholarly communication... Support for Open Archives Initiative activities has come from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Coalition for Networked Information, the Digital Library Federation, and from the National Science Foundation (IIS-9817416 and IIS-0430906)."
