On the same note, repository owners are taking more proactive role
to allow Google to promote their content by submitting their content
for indexing, e.g. in DSpace community, see: http://sourceforge.net/
mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9373110, see: http://sourceforge.net/
mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11043512 .
The dlib article refers to the appropriate copies requirement. Google
Scholar provides this by identifying the sources of content
providers. Recent developments also allow the institutional link
resolvers to be embedded in the search results.
Also in the article:
"On the more technical side, the presence of quite a few implementers
of federated search mechanisms testified to the fact that building
interoperability between repositories is not new, and, as Kerry
Blinco from IMS Australia pointed out, libraries have been dealing
with issues of scale and repository interoperability for a
considerable time."
An issue spanned out of the above would be: in what contexts would
CORDRA relates to the existing architecture/models in the digital
library world, such as JISC IE, MODELS, OCKHAM which for example is
working on metadata caching/harvesting solution c.f. Google for the
"deep web".
