Automated Cataloging of Links

published Apr 12, 2007 12:54pm
Following a major revamp of SERC cataloging infrastructure we've moved to a system that automatically identifies external resources that are linked to from multiple location across the site and creates 'starter' catalog records for these pages. The system will automatically replace the existing [link... tags with the corresponding [resource... tags when the external url in question is in use in multiple pages. This will allow users to benefit from our automated tagging of offline resources and automatic pointers to cross-referencing information.
