[rclis] E-LIS: registration to OAI registry

[Antonella De Robbio]

Hi Friends!

Last days I went to CILEA, our Automation and Elaboration Center 
and together with CILEA staff I have tried to register our 
E-LIS repository in the OAI registry.
Here you can find the answer to my request to validate E-LIS
and the correspondence with Chris in order to a validation problem.

Next days we will upgrade last version of EPrints. 
For this reason it is possibible that some interruptions on
E-LIS service will be present.

Thank you
Antonella De Robbio
