Nelson Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:30:09 +0000 http://inkdroid.org/journal/?p=241#comment-69756 We considered sitemaps as a serialization format early on, but their limitation of location limits their usefulness. For example, /a/b/sitemap.xml could aggregate /a/b/foo.html, but not /a/c/bar.html or /x/y/z.html. For some repos this might not be a problem, but it would prevent things like arXiv.org aggregating resources in citebase.org. (see http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php#location).

But the main problem with repositories is discovery, so perhaps simply making OAI-ORE resource maps available as Atom will be enough eh? Thanks for the comment.

Does OAI-ORE bring anything else to the table (in the way of more specific sitemapping instructions) that would warrant another serialization?
