  Hello Bob,

  I was in fact finishing up a new version of the repository of CDS
resources, relying on the latest versions of the Schemas
(VOResource-v0.10).
  I have added many metadata in the output, and also there are several
differences in the protocol, so I put this at a temporary different
address (so that you harvesters don't crash your system because of
receiving a shomehow unexpected result).

  The root address to access this new description is:
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/registry/vizier/oai_test.pl
  This is a temporary address only: when people have tested it, 
it will be moved to replace the old incomplete repository:
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/registry/vizier/oai.pl

  This is an OAI implementation, so it supports the different PMH
verbs. For an example, you can try:
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/registry/vizier/oai_test.pl?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=ivo_vor&identifier=ivo%3A%2F%2FCDS%2FVizieR%2FJ%2FApJ%2F481%2F95%2Ftable1

  List of changes include:

- metadataPrefix changed from ivo_vr to ivo_vor
- identifiers changed (start with ivo:// and ':' replaced by '/'). e.g.:
   oai:CDS/VizieR:J/ApJ/481/95/table2 becomes
ivo://CDS/VizieR/J/ApJ/481/95/table2
- name of the elements have changed to follow VOResource-v0.10 and
  other schemas. Now you will find new/improved resource description of:
	o curation/creator (people/organization who created the table)
	o curation/contributor (people who helped making the table available)
	o curation/date (when the table description was finalized)
	o content/subject (split in individual subjects)
	o content/description (paragraph extracted from ReadMe)
	o content/referenceURL (link to ReadMe)
	o interface(s) (each table can be accessed as a WebBrowser or
ParamHTTP)
	o facility (when available)
	o coverage/spectral
	o full table column description

  I send in attachment to this message the old and new metadata for
one VizieR table.

  Let me know if you have comments/suggestions to improve this new
version!

Sebastien

      <description>We present a method to assess the reliability of the identification of EGRET sources with extragalactic radio sources. We verify that EGRET is detecting the blazar class of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However many published identifications are found to be questionable. We provide a table of 42 blazars that we expect to be robust identifications of EGRET sources. This includes one previously unidentified EGRET source, the lensed AGN PKS 1830-210, near the direction of the Galactic center. We provide the best available positions for 16 more radio sources that are also potential identifications for previously unidentified EGRET sources. All high Galactic latitude EGRET sources (|b|>3) that demonstrate significant variability can be identified with flat-spectrum radio sources. This suggests that EGRET is not detecting any type of AGN other than blazars. This identification method has been used to establish with 99.998% confidence that the peak gamma-ray flux of a blazar is correlated with its average 5GHz radio flux. An even better correlation is seen between gamma-ray flux and the 2.29GHz flux density measured with VLBI at the base of the radio jet. Also, using high-confidence identifications, we find that the radio sources identified with EGRET sources have greater correlated VLBI flux densities than the parent population of flat radio spectrum sources. </description>
