UOM presumably indicates some sort of identifier from the University of 
Michigan. UCSC is presumably University of California Santa Cruz. Try going to 
their library catalogs and see if the numbers that follow line up somehow.

If the person who coined these identifiers understood Linked Data, we could 
click on them to figure it out without hassle.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] dc:identifier in Google XML

HI All,

I am getting data from google books that I do not understand in the
dc:identifier field.

I understand ISBN: ISSN: LCCN: OCLC:

but UOM:, and UCSC:?

Can anyone help with what these two mean.  Are they Universities?
Here is a snippet of xml;

  <dc:format>book</dc:format>
   <dc:identifier>r0xMAAAAMAAJ</dc:identifier>
   <dc:identifier>UOM:39015035700759</dc:identifier>
   <dc:subject>Medical</dc:subject>
   <dc:title>Abstracts [of the] annual meeting</dc:title>

... generated from this URL:
http://www.google.com/books/feeds/volumes?q=Abstracts%20of%20the%20annual%20meeting

Thanks,

David.
