Different search interface and protocol specifications are based on different models and have different capabilities. Major alternatives are compared in order to identify common features and variations between approaches. These are then compared to core requirements for CORDRA. As applicable, one or more of these specifications might be selected and profiled to provide a search interface to the registry of a CORDRA implementation or to provide a search interface for Federated CORDRA.

This document compares five different specifications used in digital libraries and web search.

    * SQI [SQI, SQI Sessions, SQI LORI]
    * SRW/SRU [SRW, CQL, Zing, ZeeRex, Zoom, Z39-50]
    * OpenSearch [OpenSearch]
    * Google Web Service API [Google]
    * OAI-PMH [OAI]
