DOE laboratories have two additional options for submitting data electronically to OSTI.  They are:

Site-to-OSTI Tagged Acquisition Protocol (Site-to-OSTI TAP) - formerly batch upload, and
OSTI-to-Site Tagged Acquisition Protocol (OSTI-to-Site TAP) - formerly harvesting.

The XML DTD supporting Site-to-OSTI TAPping specifies the same metadata that is used by the web-based AN 241.1.  The main difference between web notice input and Site-to-OSTI TAP upload is that the latter allows uploading of multiple records as a batch file.  The web 241.1 is for single-record input only.

OSTI-to-Site TAPping consists of three main phases:  1) Metadata mapping and technical development, 2) Testing, and 3) Production.  The production phase is ongoing based on monitoring for quality control.
