Published versus Posted *
Mostly stuff that has an ISSN or ISBN where content
items are grouped into publications
Two models to present content on-line
Posted
Mostly stuff that has been accepted for posting to a
platform or site that might organize postings into
topics or subject groupings
(* but we’re not making a judgment about quality or value, we just need a way to organize stuff)

30. One type of posted-content : preprint
Specialized treatment, using relations,
to notify the post-content host that a
Version of Record has been published.
http://blog.crossref.org/2016/05/members-will-soon-be-able-to-assign-crossref-dois-to-preprints.html

33. Email notifies a VoR has been published
