Hi Paul,
If you’re interested I’d be happy to provide more information with you. As Nick said, we have an implementation of openDSM searching across a number of NRM and related repositories and we have also implemented a GoogleMaps mashup with search as geographical context in search is becoming more important to users of our services. It’s great to see that you are local so if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us.

Cheers,
Jerry.

I’d be interested in this. I have developed a database for Natural Resource Management Boards in South Australia of research publications relevant to their region. The database links each publication to a particular region and even a local area within the region, with links from there to Google Earth. It would be great if this could be part of a broader network of libraries/databases. That way, someone interested in wetlands management in their region could look for relevant publications for their region first, then search for what had been published in other databases nationally/globally
