Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace and Google Scholar
Hi Rodrigo:
Both EPrints and Digital Commons were designed (initially, at least) for
scholarly article content specifically:
therefore they can make assumptions that DSpace (where the content might be
anything, like a dataset) cannot.
A good example is the Google Scholar tag 'citation_pdf_url' (from memory, might
be different): it makes assumptions about content
that don't necessarily apply, since in DSpace the bitstream can be anything,
not just a PDF.
So while those services might map more naturally to what GS expects to index, I
don't think it's a matter of doing a better or worse
implementation.
Having said this, we of course always are looking at ways to improve
interoperability with GS (and thus content discoverability generally),
and more work can certainly be done in this area.
My 2 cents,
Richard

Hello
We are using DSpace 1.8 XMLUI.
I am in contact with someone at Google Scholar who mentioned that EPrints and
BEPRess's Digital Commons are better integrated with Scholar than DSpace.
I wonder if you are aware of this and what these 2 other IR solutions are doing
to bet better acceptable platforms for Scholar. Is it the UI?
Thanks in advance
Rodrigo
