Digital Commons follows Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
Currently non involved in semantic web Keep discipline names in line with subject
heading lists, so identifiers could be assigned
Have author disambiguation tool Following Open Researcher & Contributor ID
– to connect to name authority files in future
