The rapid growth of information on the Internet renders centralized keyword index services incapable of collecting comprehensive resource meta-data in a timely manner. We argue that delegating the task of meta-data collection to local index servers is a more scalable approach. We propose a mechanism for integrating distributed autonomous index servers into a cooperative resource discovery system. Focusing on the retrieval effectiveness of the system, we propose a set of methods, called CVV-based methods, for ranking and selecting index servers with respect to a query, and merging the results returned by the index servers. Through experiments, we evaluate the effectiveness of the CVV-based methods, and compare our server ranking method with methods proposed by other researchers.
