[OAI-implementers] Designating as Peer Review

[Leonardo Candela]

What about OAI sets? I guess that a set-based solution is the most  
flexible and powerful, i.e. if there are many records of a peer- 
reviewed item you must change all the records with the peer review  
flag instead of just adding the records to the set ;)
