 == Motivations ==
-The current configuration is .... A change to ....
+
+Currently:
+
+ * Vocabularies, codelists and thesaurii are held in static files external to the GeoNetwork catalog. The process by which items in these registers are modified, updated, superseded or retired are invisible as the formats they are held in do not support capture of this information. 
+ * Metadata records that use items from these registers usually do so by referencing an external document (eg. http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/profileinfo/anzlic-theme.xml)
+ * Often the codelist has been converted to yet another format for use in the GeoNetwork editor (eg. the ISO19139 codelists in http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml are converted to a codelists.xml file for use in GeoNetwork). Propagating changes to a codelist 
+
+The motivation for this proposal is to capture register changes in the register, make registers transportable between catalogs through harvesting, and converge access to one register format.
