[Esip-discovery] time for new challenges?

[Pedro Gonçalves]

In support to the Group on Earth Observations "Geohazards Supersites and Natural Laboratories",
we are doing just that, 
http://eo-virtual-archive4.esa.int/

There is an opensearch interface, 
and the application features a html representation of the resources that provides the deep link needed by search engines.
(the data enrichment procedures are key in this)

For example, if you Google search  "ASAR Level 0 over Turkey " 
https://www.google.com/search?q=ASAR+Level+0+over+Turkey

-> you get the direct link to the catalogue resource html representation, that was enriched for SEO.

Other examples with both Google and Bing search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=GEO+Supersites+ASAR+Level+0+Orbit+Number+30792
http://www.bing.com/search?q=GEO+Supersites+ASAR+Level+0+Orbit+Number+30792

It seems like most repositories are search oriented and what pages are there don't have much in the way of text corpus to index.   If the pages and the text aren't there Google isn't going to index it.
