No one has mentioned in all the replies I've seen the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). Fantastic digital archive and other Institutional Repository projects such as DSpace, the CERN Document Server and many others are already in place.
It becomes obvious after a little while (IMHO) that Google have seen these projects going on and can see an opportunity.
Google is not the beginning, or the end. It's already there. They're not leading!
