Greetings from Webometrics desk,
I am very glad to answer these and any other questions you have about
the ranking Web of Repositories. Here are my comments about the
mentioned issues:
a) The main aim of the ranking is not to rank repositories, but to
promote the green way of Open Access initiatives. That means to build
institutional (and other) repositories with most (if not all) of the
documents signed by the institution authors in full text format.
b) Current CRIS are being filled with bibliographic records, sometimes
linking to the document in the institution webdomains but many times
linking to the (paywalled) journal address. There are also repositories
with a huge amount of closed records or metadata-only records as part of
so-called "discovery" tools that basically are decreasing the value of
the repositories.
c) But, by far (in my opinion) the biggest problem of IR is the authors
are not depositing at the rate we would like. Perhaps one reason is
repository contents have not enough "added-avalue" for them. For
example, for me the individual statistics of each of my papers in the
repository is useless without a common integrated interface. when I am
referring to author profiles the bio info is not so important and can be
reduced to a minimum, but the metrics are far more important. Many
scientists care about metrics if they are easy to collect and they will
be more prone to deposit if they can obtain such valuable info.
Of course, we are not going to enforce strictly the requirements if the
developers are considering these issues for future versions.
Your turn,

Hi Alex,
There was a thread discussing the webometrics requirements. I would
say that there was nothing close to universal agreement with these
proposed requirements from the DSpace community.
For instance, a site would be penalized for using HTTPS, which among
other things runs counter to Google SEO best practices
<http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html>.
Works in an archive being easily findable through Google search /
Google Scholar is very important to many people.

Not to open a can of worms. But, I see that there are some additional
items that have been added to the webometrics requirements. The
document is not versioned, so it will be hard to track the differences.
(new #8) Repositories connected to CRIS are excluded.
(old #8, new #9) It looks like they used to have a requirement of 50%
of documents being open access, this is now 90% open access, or else
archive excluded.
(new #10) Repositories without author profiles combining article-level
metrics will be excluded
- DSpace had a proposal to add author profiles to DSpace 5
<https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/668>. Actual working code, used
in some production instances already. That didn't get incorporated
into DSpace due to concern over the repositories role in managing
people's biographical information. And also over the architecture of
how DSpace would hold this information. The plan, regardless of this
webometrics proposal, is to revisit author profiles in DSpace for a
future version.

Sorry, didn't get notifications - just saw that I've missed the
question.
I'm on jspui interface. I've already got rid of dspace name in
domain, from
":8080/jspui" part in url. How about authors profile? Any chance
in 5.x?
