| Abstract: | In the context of the need to keep up with the content on the Internet that would be of value for the Scout Report's Signpost catalog of Internet resources, the article describes an approach to linking distributed collections of metadata so that they can be searched as a single collection. The infrastructure, based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and the Common Indexing Protocol (CIP) is described. The advantages of using linked metadata as opposed to keyword indexing searching are discussed. Other architectures for metadata discovery are also outlined. Research issues and future directions for the project are included. The Internet Scout Project was funded by NSF. |
