Does anyone know if any of the large, commercial search engines are
DC-aware, or even knowledgeable about the DCMI? Will the progress being
made ever manifest itself in these popular engines? I am concerned that
the Google's and Excite's of the world have little interest in our
efforts. Please tell me I'm wrong.
