Hi,
	We are an information research time from the Brazilian Institute for
Information in Science and Technology,  a subsidiary of Brazil´s National
Department of Science and Technology. We are implementing an e-print archive
for an Academic Association in Brazil and we are looking for an explanation
about the importance of two fields that must be filled out by the authors on
the bibliographic Information page. We were reading in all the documents
available from the main Open Archives Iniciative web site to try to find out
what is the real purpose of the Refereed field to be mantadory for all the
document types but book type, and also, we would like to know what is the
reason to include the Public Domain field (required) if the mean of "open"
is statated  since the moment the scientists want to use it for publication
and debate. 

	We would thank you for any answer you can give us to our queries.
