As discussed on #dspace, one important thing to keep in mind is that DSpace does Handles "backwards": it supplies a class for the Handle server to load, which queries DSpace's database for Handle resolution. I believe that what was envisioned by CNRI as typical would be for things to work the other way around: the Handle server is given newly minted handles by the information service (such as DSpace) and stores them itself. So extending the DSpace way across other products may require writing "backwards" Handle support for each of those products.
Yes, you can create "derived prefixes". Yes, there is a separate Annual Service Fee for each prefix, derived or not. There is no Registration Fee for derived prefixes. http://www.handle.net/HSj/hdlnet-2-SVC-AGREE-3.pdf -- Mark H.
