ListMetadataFormats
This verb is used to retrieve the supported metadata schemas
from an OAI-PMH server. This gives OAI-PMH harvesters the
ability to see if an OAI-PMH server supports a more granular
metadata schema than the required Unqualified Dublin Core.
An example of a ListMetadataFormats request on the Ohio
State University Libraries’ institutional repository OAI-PMH
server would look like: http://kb.osu.edu/oai/request?verb=Li
stMetadataFormats, and it would return the following request:

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8” ?>
<OAI-PMH xmlns=“http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/” xmlns:xsi=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
