Metadata Aggregates

John Krienke provided information concerning a pilot for InCommon to produce multiple metadata aggregates. The pilot involves producing an aggregate for Carnegie Mellon, which has many local-only SPs.

This service could be the first of several advanced services that InCommon might bundle and provide for a fee.
