  If you want to reuse materials for UK respositories, you could
  use that special repo, but it would create a new layer of
  duplication and confusion. For somebody like me who wants
  to collect world-wide metadata about scholarly works, I
  don't seem a point in dealing with the aggreator rather
  than individual repositories. There may be some point to
  this if other countries would follow suit, but, for some
  countries it's very unlikely to ever take off.
