Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of search engine optimization (SEO) for digital repositories. We first describe the importance of SEO in the academic environment. Online systems, such as institutional digital repositories, are established and used to disseminate scientific information. Next, we present a case study of our own institution’s DSpace repository, performing several SEO tests and identifying the potential SEO issues through a group of three independent audit tools. In this case study, we attempt to resolve most of the SEO problems that appeared within our research and propose solutions to them. After making the necessary adjustments, we were able to improve the quality of SEO variables by more than 59% compared to the non-optimized state (a fresh installation of DSpace). Finally, we apply the same software audit tools to a sample of global institutional repositories also based on DSpace. In the discussion, we compare the SEO sample results with the average score of the semi-optimized DSpace repository (from the case study) and make conclusions.

在基于dspace的数字存储库中解决SEO问题

本文讨论了搜索引擎优化(SEO)对数字资源库的重要性。我们首先描述了SEO在学术环境中的重要性。建立并使用诸如机构数字知识库之类的在线系统来传播科学信息。接下来，我们将介绍我们自己机构的DSpace存储库的案例研究，执行几个SEO测试，并通过一组三个独立的审计工具确定潜在的SEO问题。在这个案例研究中，我们试图解决在我们的研究中出现的大多数SEO问题，并提出解决方案。在进行了必要的调整后，与未优化的状态(新安装DSpace)相比，我们能够将SEO变量的质量提高59%以上。最后，我们将相同的软件审计工具应用于同样基于DSpace的全球机构存储库样本。在讨论中，我们将SEO示例结果与半优化DSpace存储库(来自案例研究)的平均分数进行比较，并得出结论。
