Hi Tennessee,This is very interesting. Do you have the name (e-mail address) of a contact at TPAC who would know more about this? I was aware that they serve their data via OPeNDAP, but not that they had developed a crawler. Do you know if their crawler is capable of crawling beyond their local computers?

Hi, An Australian group called TPAC (Tasmanian Partnership of Advanced Computing) has sponsored the development of a digital library portal which is capable of crawling over OpenDAP networks, extracting themetadata vis the DAS and building up a searchable digital library of data.I found this out at the APAC conference, at which I presented a paper onthe capacities of OpenDAP for linking institutions and making a consistent interface between them. There are some strong synergies between the TPAC digital library software and what OpenDAP represents at a lower level. Hopefully, we will be setting up this software on a research box here at the Bureau, and I'll let you know if it lives up to expectations. Cheers, -Tennessee
