| May be the coming OASIS member section may provide a persitistent | *hosting* (not redirection) of PSI sets. This would work. I'm not very happy with that idea. This leads us back into the old centralised "Regististration Authority" way of doing things, which is resource-intensive and easily becomes a bottleneck. It's much better if people can define their own PSIs without having to confer with anyone else about it. [SSH] I am strongly convinced that a centralized registration, especially at Oasis will never scale. Much work goes into the update and maintenance of subject headings and I don't think anyone in this group wants to take on this task even if you are allowing/requiring/suggesting that those doing the registration keep up with their own. ---Suellen Suellen Stringer-Hye Jean and Alexander Heard Library Vanderbilt University stringers@library.vanderbilt.edu
