That would be Really Helpful. Heh, note to self: when someone from
OCLC says "some data"...
There are a lot of people who would like to be able to use that
registry, many (most?) of whom won't be librarians. In the meantime,
I'll contact the person you suggested. And, since that's not ready just
yet, our brief-but-4x-bigger-than-yesterday resolver list would still
benefit from additions.
Many thanks!
