Note that this is a special case of the more general problem: my institution or consortium operates a number of different digital document repositories of various types, and I need to make it possible to search across them all with (from the user's POV) one query. Sounds like what SRU was made for. I hope so, because that's what I've been considering to meet a similar requirement. There's not even a plan yet, though, let alone code. > It would be nice for any of the DSpace instances to auto magically > discover who belongs to the federation and should be searched. Have each register itself in some sort of directory service. The search front-end can then first search the directory to discover participating repositories, or just walk the membership of a group or the content of a single container if you want to have multiple repository 'cliques'. -- Mark H.
