Through use of Combine to aggregate a set of feeds, it is starting to emerge that it might be helpful to have a "sub-publishing" of Organizations and/or Record Groups.
Imagine a scenario where organization Org1 has record groups RG1 and RG2. These may get published with their own publish_set_ids, and be available that way through OAI and/or exporting. But, there is no facility for grouping these -- as OAI doesn't allow hierarchical grouping past a single set.
However, it would be relatively trivial to have OAI routes also serve from a particular Organization and/or RecordGroup, which would support harvesting of only that Org, etc. The same could be done for Exporting flat files.
Not sure what other ramifications this might have, but noting as possible enhancement.
