Summon is a NGC product with the distinction of using a local copy of indexes of licensed content (by agreement with Elsevier, JSTOR, et alia) for federated search - rather than the traditional Z39.50 or API calls to vendor servers. Can anyone offer a brief summary of what was discussed? I am particularly interested in the feasibility of obtaining local indexes for use in an OSS product.
