  1. Be able to accept XML versions of manuscripts from Journal publishers
    • "Journal submits XML version of final peer reviewed manuscript to the PI's designated repository

    • General Comments
      • Who defines this XML format?  It would need to be defined by a central entity.
      • Is there a reason why XML is chosen as the transmission format instead of a protocol like SWORD (with a common packaging format)? 
        • As XML is not human-readable, this implies we'd need a more human-readable format as well (PDF or similar), which is why SWORD may be useful here.
  2. Make article available to search engines
    • Google, Google Scholar, Yahoo, Bing, etc
  3. Must be able to link to publisher's website
    • General Comments
      • How is the publisher's website link obtained by the repository? Is there a way to "look it up" via a central service, or would it be a required metadata field?  If it is the latter, what happens if the publisher's website changes it's URL?
      • Is a link to the DOI acceptable?
  4. Support embargo
    • link to publisher's website until embargo period expires
      • See comments above about how do we obtain the publisher's website link.
    • make full-text of article available post-embargo
  5. Certify compliance with agencies
    • Automatically notify "both the funding agency and the PI's institutional research office that a deposit has occurred"
    • General Comments 
      • How would repositories know where to send notifications to?  What type of notification?
      • Is this a "push" notification (e.g. automated email to agency), or is it more of a "pull" notification (where an agency could query repositories for recent deposits)?
        • If the agency just needs to query the repository for recent deposits, perhaps would could use OAI-PMH. But, at the same time, the funding agency couldn't be expected to query 100's of repositories for this data. It'd need to be a centralized location that could be queried
