ODU To Develop Deep Web Search Engine

jvsanford writes "Three Old Dominion University (ODU) computer science professors plan to develop a 'deep' web search engine that searches digital libraries and collections that expose their metadata via the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). In addition, they are also planning to develop an Apache module, mod_oai, that will increase the number of people who can export their metadata and resources via OAI-PMH."
