Peter, (01)
One of the places I get stuck (before doing your first two action items below)
is figuring out how we are differentiated from the XMDR project, as highlighted
by Leo (5 Feb 2008 10:30:11 -0500). Can you provide information or elicit a
discussion of this? (02)
Is it simply that we are a repository as opposed to simply a registry? (uh oh
:->) The XMDR page is a little confusing about whether they are providing
repository functions, I think not except in specific cases.... (03)
Also, did you mean for the link under action item 2 to be the same as that
under 1? (04)
