Are the other repositories *also* cyberthesis repositories ? If so, 
you'd better consider querying their indices trough RMI IMHO. See recent 
discussions on this topic ; unfortunately not fully answered yet. Docs 
definitely need a section about RMI within SDX.

OAI-PMH stands for "Protocol for *Metadata* Harvesting". RMI allows you 
to query *data*... or metadata if you like. The big question is : what 
do you want to query ?

Everything can be done with SDX :-)

CVS version of SDX can theorically act as an OAI repositry as well as an 
OAI harvester. Testers are welcome.
