Thanks for that. I've added a list of the links suggested on this thread 
at ideas.okfn.

My feeling is a major problem is that OA material can be published in 
many different ways, for example through self-archiving, archiving 
through an institution or through a journal. These might require 
different ways of aggregation, and different ways of searching. At any 
rate, anything OA makes the text available, which means it can be scraped.

Best,

John
