With SHARE, which is open source, the community of researchers decide what is worth indexing and sharing. With Google, GOOGLE decides. Lots of self-interested noise potential.

Haven't these funders ever heard of Google? There is no need for a
central repository of anything if metadata is exposed to search
spiders. *Google* is the center, not the repository. With the
Internet, value migrates from content to the metadata surrounding that
content. This is Internet 101.
