OAI Base URL
More info: http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html
“There is a single base URL for all requests. The base URL specifies the Internet host and port, and optionally a path, of an HTTP server acting as a repository. Repositories expose their base URL as the value of the baseURL element in the Identify response. Note that the composition of any path is determined by the configuration of the repository's HTTP server. “
Example Base URL
