Handle.Net naming authority 10576

Qatar University holds Handle.Net prefix 10576 and every QSpace item carries a persistent identifier under it, resolving through hdl.handle.net to the repository. The prefix registration is Qatar University's regardless of who hosts the repository it points at, which is why it is recorded separately from the QSpace tenancy.
