But it is also possible to build academics staff page automatically using contents from IR - what's the difference

I may be splitting hairs but would there be any difference if an
academic were to self-archive a copy of their Wiley paper on their own
web page and then I were to add a full metadata record in an IR and link
to it? Have I spotted a clever loop-hole or will Wiley's legal eagles
have thought of this?

When this last happened to me, it was explained that RoMEO calls
publishers "green" if they allow the author to archive a copy on the
web, but there is no requirement for that to be in an IR or to allow a
repository manager to do it on their behalf. In my presonal opinion,
this is a potential failing of RoMEO's "green" definition, since for all
practical purposes repository managers want to know if a publisher is
"green" meaning "green for the purposes of institutional repositories".
These are, after all, the people who mainly use RoMEO, although clearly
it's useful to direct one's authors to it as well. The current
definition is pretty much a fringe issue, in practice. I don't mean to
criticise the fantastic service that RoMEO provide, but the difference
is clearly an important one that needs to be clarified in all cases.
