[Ref-Links] FW: CrossRef -- DOI -- OpenURL -- SFX experiment

["Paskin, Norman (DOI-ELS)" <n.paskin@doi.org>]

Many of you may know that IDF participated in the NISO/DLF/CrossRef Workshop
on Localization in Reference Linking held on July 24th at CNRI. This was a
continuation of a series of NISO sponsored meetings on reference linking.
Concrete progress was made in addressing the localization problem.  A
prototype has been developed showing a CrossRef DOI being redirected from
the DOI proxy (via client supplied information) to a local resolver at the
University of Ghent, use the DOI to retrieve metadata from a CrossRef-like
metadata collection (with Academic temporarily standing in for CrossRef),
and using that to present local services for the item. This demo is the
result of collaboration between SFX developers at University of Ghent,
Academic Press, and CNRI, as agreed to by both the IDF and CrossRef.   We
are now working on a possible 
extended localization prototype involving DLF, CNRI, CrossRef, IDF, and SFX
developers.

After that piece of background, the following posting is self explanatory:
anyone wishing to know more about the technical aspects of the prototype is
invited to contact one of the participants.

Hi all,

A new version of the demo page of the CrossRef -- DOI -- OpenURL -- SFX
experiment is up at http://sfxserv.rug.ac.be:8888/public/xref :

- it works with a demo DOI proxy, not the production proxy
- I added two figures that I showed at the RefLink meeting

Patrick has IP-protected some of the services that are delivered by the
Gent SFX server.  They show up in the SFX menu-screen but are not
clickable.  The reason is that we can't allow the world to link into our
Web of Science or other licensed databases.  

Feel free to point interested parties at this page.  

Shouldn't this be posted to the reflink and doi list?

many greetings

herbert
