  I may not be the team member, but I have no recollection of such 
  a request. In the name of our team, please accept my apologies!

  This would be really brilliant. You may wish to note that the 
  DOIS service is now part of an effort to collect data about
  and provide services for the community called rclis. You 
  can read more at http://rclis.org. I have added you to 
  our mailing list. 

  At the moment we are somewhat  in a technical crossroads,
  where we are working on collecting and using data in the
  Academic Metadata Format, but still have
  our data mainly in the ReDIF format, and the DoIS uses
  only those data. So, if you want to have your data
  in DoIS quickly you need to do them in ReDIF and later
  redo them in AMF, if you have a few months' time, you
  can relax now and wait until an AMF DoIS service is 
  done and then contribute the data in AMF. Draft rules 
  on how to do that are contained in http://rclis.org/internal/geneva.html
