Hi Alessandra,
I expect many know this already, but fields already exist in
the CIC portal XML file for all the contacts for all VOs. We may find
that these fields are stale, but contacts come and go during the life of
an experiment, and it might be good to use a (slightly) formal process
whereby the VO concerned updates it's records in the central database
for global distribution. That way, stale data is systematically eliminated.
If you want, I could parse the XML with my "SAX parser" to get those
contacts? It's just an idea that could help us reduce document
maintenance, which we know from experience is a patchy process.
Please let me know.
Steve
