No, that is not completely correct. See e.g.
http://trac.clarin.eu/wiki/RepositoryRegistry#Listofcorporaperendpoint.

That's not possible at this point. But we need this information, so
there are some approaches possible:

- hard-code it for now (based on the trac page)

- have it in the scan response, see
http://trac.clarin.eu/wiki/FCS-specification#Scan

- extract it from the VLO (but that means we need to get a close
connection between the aggregator and the VLO, might be good on the long
term but probably takes a while before that is done)

- have a collection record per endpoint (a CMDI giving a language list,
modality, etc. for each corpus) to which we can refer in the center
registry or from the scan response

I think I would like the last option the most, as it is relatively
light-weight, not too hard to make and it would also be in the hands of
the centers providing the end points (instead of being hardcoded). What
is your opinion?

We should. Herman can state this with a higher degree of certainty.
