An OASIS catalog is intended to map an FPI to a resource (1:1). An XML Catalog extends the functionality of an OASIS catalog by supporting a "public" attribute on the link element. 2) An XML Catalog is an extension of XHTML and is hence viewable in browsers and manipulatable by common XML software (e.g. SAX, XSLT) 3) One can certainly include an OASIS Open Catalog Format document as a linked resource within an XML Catalog document. I will add this as an example to the specification. We expect to provide free software (licensed equivalently to SAX) to support the same entity resolution mechanisms as is provided by the OASIS catalog software.
