[GOAL] New Year's challenge for repository developers and managers: awesome cross-search

[Heather Morrison]

The Digital Commons Network has created an awesome repositories cross-search tool - with a signficant limitation, that this is limited to the Digital Commons platform.

My challenge for repository developers and managers: are you developing your platforms and repositories to facilitate development of search services like this that would work across platforms? If not, why not?

Here is the link to the Digital Commons tool (thanks to Isaac Gilman):
