The paper tries to assess all the existing ranking systems which are used to rank higher educational institutions. The aim of the paper is to provide sufficient background to design and develop a new ranking system for a country. An attempt has been taken to find out the reasons of low ranking of Indian universities with respect to the world university ranking through webometric analysis of top ten Indian and Asian universities. A comparative study of top Ten Indian Universities and Asian universities is made with respect to significant web indicators, which are frequently used in ranking purpose. The results found that there is a significant difference of values of webpages, backlinks, rich files, Google Scholar and research publications between these top Ten Asian Universities and Indian universities.

Abstract

The focus of this paper is to present a manual for harvesting added metadata schema elements from data provider repository through PAI-PMH. Here we have attempted to extend the ability of DSpace as well as the OAI-PMH to host or share other metadata schema elements e.g. LRMI, IEEE-LOM, ETD etc. DSpace, by default, is capable of importing and exporting only Dublin Core metadata; but DSpace has the capability by which one can define his own submission form and expose customized fields to OAI-PMH request. This paper attempts to provide a guideline to a DSpace administrator to accommodate different metadata schema as well as enhancing the Interoperable capability between Data provider and Service provider repository for Importing and Exporting customized metadata Schema. This is an important concern as Institutions have different types of content and have implemented metadata schema and elements appropriate to their content.
