We need to discuss what is the mechanism to notify IDC about the availability of new collections in IDC. Ulli brought this up today during our weekly meeting.

On a second thought, perhaps TCIA API supports this, since we can simply query the list of all collections and compare, but it would be good to know what is the optimal mechanism.

@bcli4d: "Yes, the TCIA API should be sufficient for this."

However, the current API is not sufficient for learning when a new version of a collection is available. The APIs proposed in #24 would enable this.
