Feedback on Harvesting - providing metadata to harvest

[Elizabeth Auden]

Hi Martin,

The VOResource version 9 file can be found here:
http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOResource/, and the other related IVOA schemas
are also on that site.  The identifier is made of the AuthorityID (which
should be unique, but I don't currently know if watertight guidelines for
choosing one - somebody else may be able to better advise) and a
ResourceKey, which is a name that should be unique within your
AuthorityID.  For example, if your AuthorityID is "Astrogrid", then you
can have a ResourceKey with value "MartinHill" or "1XMM_service"
even if another AuthorityID like "ESO" also has a MartinHill or
1XMM_service. That's my understanding, anyway!

cheers,
Elizabeth
