-    When you refer to object identifiers in your application, you need to
-    be aware that SR and Z39.50 use two different set of OIDs to refer to
-    the same objects. To handle this easily, &yaz; provides a utility module
-    to &asn; which provides an internal representation of the OIDs used in
-    both protocols. Each oid is described by a structure:

-    simply ignore the proto field, or if you're strict, you can verify
-    that your peer is using the OID family from the correct protocol.

-     Plans are underway to merge the two protocols into a single

-     independence, but it should still be useful as a simple OID database.
