[Esip-discovery] time for new challenges?

[jeff mcwhirter]

As a test I Googled "chimborazo data":
https://www.google.com/search?q=chimborazo+data

The 5th entry down is the project archive page on Unavco's RAMADDA 
server for a Terrestrial LiDAR Scan (TLS) field project:
http://ramadda.unavco.org/repository/entry/show?entryid=2c8a3ea3-0f9d-44a7-9770-cc958470fe32

Now, Googling "chimborazo lidar":
https://www.google.com/search?q=chimborazo+lidar

The first hit is a Unavco science highlight web page (which of course 
does  not point to the archive):
http://www.unavco.org/highlights/2012/chimborazo.html

And the archive page doesn't show up at all (a top level page does show 
up) even though it has the word "lidar" in it.

Googling with the TLS acronym:
https://www.google.com/search?q=chimborazo+tls

Gives the archive page as the #1 hit. Likewise "tls unavco":
https://www.google.com/search?q=chimborazo+unavco

And one more -
Googling chimborazo "lidar data" gives a date range search results page 
on RAMADDA as the first hit:
http://ramadda.unavco.org/repository/search/do?datadate.from=2012-06-29+00%3A19%3A00+UTC&ascending=false&orderby=name&showentryselectform=true&datadate.to=2012-06-29+00%3A22%3A30+UTC

This is the result of RAMADDA adding a link to a date search from any 
entry that has a date range, e.g.:
http://ramadda.unavco.org/repository/entry/show/Unavco+Repository/TLS+Field+Project+Archive/Chimborazo+Volcano+-+Ecuador/June+2012/GPS/Raw/2246200629a.tps?entryid=49fceb93-1bc5-4411-b2f1-e4a481cd5dc5

So, here is a case where we have a fairly rich collection of words, 
images, links and data yet the search results are all over the place.
