  4. More things… • Addressable resources • How else will you describe an aggregation? • Cool URIs • http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI • Announce your interfaces • SWORD/OAI-PMH base URLs • Use standards • But consider the motivations behind them & are they adopted?

  5. More things • Check if anyone is doing what you want to do and steal from/help them • Good APIs project • DRIVER report • Ensure you are meeting user needs • Don’t get hung up on “doing it the Web 2.0” || “Semantic Web” way – just do something • Remember the simple things: robots.txt, open HTTP access to resources, etc. • Compromise
