Text

The indicator tests whether the metadata is offered in such a way that it can be indexed. In some cases, metadata could be provided together with the data to a local institutional repository or to a domain-specific or regional portal, or metadata could be included in a landing page where it can be harvested by a search engine. The indicator remains broad enough on purpose not to limit the way how and by whom the harvesting and indexing of the data might be done.
