Discovering Data Collections Within Services Note version 1.0

[Mark Allen]

Dear Registry WG,

The note on "Discovering Data Collections Within Services” proposes potentially significant changes to the way the registry works, in particular for data providers who register many resources. It refers to issues related to Vizier resources which make up a large fraction of the resources in the registry.

The CDS is studying the detail in order to assess the consequences and will report on the findings.
