Hi Rob:
Yes, indeed they do.
We've just put up an OAI server and are using PAM but as yet have no URI for
that:
http://www.nature.com/oai/request?verb=ListMetadataFormats
In fact I'm on a call in an hour with the PRISM folks to address just this
issue. Hoping to get a URL for the schema so that we can register with SRU
(with an SRU style identifier at this time).
Cheers,
Tony
