Abstract
Harvesters facilitate aggregating metadata from various repositories and other sources such as journals and enable a centralized access to full text and objects. While harvesting can be fairly simple and straight forward, it is not without its challenges. This paper intends to highlight some of the issues in harvesting metadata in agricultural domains. It suggests some possible solutions with instances from Demeter, a pkp based harvester compared with DSpace based harvesting facility implemented at Indian Statistical Institute. Also described is Tharvest, a thematic harvester model for agricultural resources from generic repositories.
