The IR in the International Stage
• Be seen!– Implement OAI-PMH– Registering repositories– Be visible to search engines

Be Seen!: implement OAI-PMH
• OAI-PMH = Open Archives Initiative-Protocol for Metadatahttp://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html
“provides an application-independent interoperability framework based on metadata harvesting “

Be Seen!: registering repositories
• OpenDOAR- http://www.opendoar.org
• ROAR - http://roar.eprints.org/ • Openarchives.org - http://www.openarchives.org/Register/BrowseSites • Your software community
– e.g DSpace instances http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php//DspaceInstances • OAIster - http://www.oaister.org/
• BASE - http://www.base-search.net/
• Intute RS - http://www.intute.ac.uk/irs/

Be Seen!: be visible to search engines
• Do Not!– Require all visitors to have a username and password – Set a 'robots.txt' file and/or use 'robots' meta tags in HTML headers that
prevent search engine crawling – Restrict access to embargoed and/or other (selected) full texts – Accept poor quality or restrictive PDF files – Hide your OAI Base URL
• Ensure you have a 'Browse' interface with hyperlinks between pages
• Avoid awkward URLs - Many harvesters and firewalls will spit out or block: – Numeric URLs - e.g. http://130.226.203.32/ – URLs that use 'https:' instead of 'http:' – URLs that include unusual port numbers e.g. :47231
