[OAI-implementers] Designating as Peer Review

[Sarah L. Shreeves]

Yes, but that relies on the harvesters actually making some meaning 
of that set (i.e. aggregating those sets together and labelling them 
as peer reviewed). Since the item level metadata doesn't necessarily 
inherit any information from the set except the setSpec, you still 
need some kind of information in the metadata so that when it's 
pulled out of its native context or out of that set, a user can still 
see that it's peer reviewed.
