Story

OAI specification describes three tracking levels for record deletion: no, persistent and transient. While  and do not provide any useful information about deleted records, explicitly states the deletion of a previously existing record and thus helps to keep a harvesters database update to date. The repository should allow to configure the deletion behavior according to OAI specification.
