<div>Just found a paper related to metadata, harvesting and RSS: 'Marketing' with Metadata - How Metadata Can Increase Exposure and Visibility of Online Content' dated March 2006. It's basic but interesting, like this one:

<div>"Broadly speaking there are three different ways in which standardised exposure of <b style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,102)">metadata</b> can be achieved.</div>

<li>Exposing <b style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,102)">Metadata</b> via Harvesting. </li>

<li>Exposing Content for Syndication. </li></ol></div>

<br>Ron just explained to me " Read the (WxS) capabilities and create a KML file for Google robot to find." That's what I meant when I wrote before "This could be where OpenSearch, Google Sitemaps or KML come in". And there are some more SEO tricks which I divide into two approaches: i) self-declaration (HTML-meta tags, feed icons, chicklets) andii) foreign citation policies (feed of feeds, relationship attributes).
<br><br>So,the bottom line is that there are several ways to attract crawlers. But if I we come to an agreement about a "geospatial autodiscovery policy" (before Google dictates it...) that would allow us to bundle resources and write focused specific crawlers for location aware search engines (sometimes called metadata catalogues... :->)!
