Yes, it does > If so, why? because there needs to be persistency to the published output that a person can not provide. However that persistency layer could be constructed in such a way that it cost way less than what is paid, mainly by libraries, to keep the current system going. I'm currently working on building a persistency layer for RePEc. It's work funded with a 3000 Euro grant by the French central bank foundation for economic research. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel _______________________________________________ GOAL mailing list GOAL@eprints.org http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/goal
