Re: [CODE4LIB] Public list of Institutions and openURL servers
The IP lookup functionality itself seems to be working: For example: http://www.worldcat.org/registry/lookup?IP=128.143.23.98 A specific IP address lookup failure typically indicates a data quality issue, such as the registry does not have complete or up-to-date IP address information.

This is documented in http://xisbn.worldcat.org/xisbnadmin/xoclcnum/api.htm#deleted Worldcat uses OCLC Control Number Cross-Reference to track deleted OCLC numbers. When an OCLC number is deleted, it's still search-able from this service. In the response, we use presentOclcnum to specify present OCLC number. For example 2416076 was merged into 24991049, a request of the deleted number 2416076 will return: rsp xmlns=http://worldcat.org/xid/xoclcnum/; stat=ok oclcnum lccn=34025476 presentOclcnum=249910492416076/oclcnum /rsp The presentOclcnum field is omitted when an OCLC number is active, so request to current OCLC number 24991049 returns: rsp xmlns=http://worldcat.org/xid/xoclcnum/; stat=ok oclcnum lccn=34025476 24991049/oclcnum /rsp Xiaoming Ray Denenberg, Library of Congress wrote: From: Eric Lease Morgan emor...@nd.edu 1. What MARC field/subfield might I put this string? 2. How would I go about getting the string indexed? 3. How might I go about querying the server for records with this string? I can at least talk about the third question. There was work on a marc attribute set, though not completed. If you look at the oid register at http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/oids.html you'll see that the latest work on it (second draft) was in 2000, http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/iso/z3950/MARC_attribute_set_2.doc. So if someone actually wanted to put it to use it would have to be completed. For SRU there is a complete marc context set, http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/resources/marc-context-set.html. --Ray

I have to admit it seems odd to me to include so much attribute information in a single isbn element, but I suppose that would be helpful in identifying what specific manifestation is being referred to in the URL? We made that design choice to be largely compatible with OCLC Research's version of xISBN service, and this kind of flat structure also help us to easily disseminate other formats, such as csv or json serialization: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/isbn/0689868847?library=ocafl=*format=csv http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/isbn/0689868847?library=ocafl=*format=python In this scenario, is there a way to indicate free vs. licensed somewhere in the isbn entry? I'm assuming that the Netlibrary audio book is *not* free. We have very few mechanisms to do that within MARC records; it would be great to think about that here as most libraries will be interested in *free* links to digitized content available from anywhere (google book search, oca, etc.). We support a library=freeebook flag to limit search scope to free ebook: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/isbn/0689868847?library=freeebookfl=* Current the free ebook collection is rather small (a few thousands of titles), hopefully we can grow the collection soon to make it more useful. You can find more statistical information from http://xisbn.worldcat.org/xisbnadmin/doc/stat.htm Also, have you considered the response for multiple digitized sources for the same ISBN? If an ISBN has multiple digitized sources, they are put in url attribute separated by space, e.g. http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/isbn/0596002815?library=ebookfl=title,url Xiaoming
Re: [CODE4LIB] ThingISBN supports LCCNs, OCLC numbers
xISBN service also supports LCCN as well, though with a slightly different request and response format, like: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/isbn/0590353403?fl=lccn Other improvements of xISBN service is available from: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/xisbnadmin/doc/api.htm xiaoming On 2/15/08, Tim Spalding [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's a quick note that I've added LCCN and OCLC number support to ThingISBN.
