Hi Amjad, It happens that Dspace supports organization of records by communities, sub-communitities, and collections. It seems it fits your idea by default.
A possible setup would be a central IR containing metadata to all separate databases' contents. These db can be any kind of systems, not necessarily dspace. Storage of data is distributed. Indexing is centralized. The centralized dspace provides links to the actual contents in remote systems. Users can search and access data in one place. Metadata can be updated by harvesting or feeding done periodically. Our IR in HKU Libraries is working in this fashion. Hope this information is helpful to you. Best, Allen Lam.
