Dear Franziska
Two questions about "private items":
1. Can items with a private flag be found by bots, so they will appear
in Google Scholar, for instance?
They are accessible by bots via the direct hit on the splash page e.g.
http://mydspaceinstance/handle/yourprefix/nnnn
If you provide sitemaps for Google everything will be indexed. But
Google Scholar uses more than just the sitemaps to aggregate the metadata.
If you do not use the handle system but another persisten identifier
e.g. DOI than anything will be available via DataCite and thus
distributed and made visible.
2. Are private items discoverable via OAI-PMH or other APIs?
They are not searchable and not in any lists, but accessible as single
records.
E.g. in OAI-PMH the should not appear in ListRecords/Idenfiers, but if
you know the identifier you cant retrieve them via GetRecord.
Hope this helps
