I don't know what J-CG means. Individuals can of course set up an OAI repository, which is just a collection of metadata records. If it's OAI-compliant it could be registered with Open Archives Initiative - Repository Explorer http://oai.dlib.vt.edu/cgi-bin/Explorer/oai2.0/testoai There isn't a 'discovery' method as such for OAI -- we have searched for GNU EPrints sites by using a Web search for terms that are common across installations. http://archives.eprints.org/eprints.php Regards, Tim Brody
