Collect more content (including software, algorithms) for Ensemble using crawling or OAI harvesting (including from wikis)

Work with the GRAs and VT faculty (Fox, Edwards, Shaffer) as part of our effort to develop the Ensemble portal, in concert with the 5 other partners in Ensemble, led by PI Lillian Cassel of Villanova. Focus on working with the communities identified in the proposal and others supporting the project (e.g., publishers), to include content on their web sites and collections. Where possible help set up a permanent harvesting connection using OAI-PMH. Include especially software and data stored in wikis. NOTE: If another group works on CS4624S09P-AlgoViz, then there won't be a need to handle wikis, and Dr. Shaffer won't need to be involved.
