Re: [CODE4LIB] COinS

What do you mean by "suggest schema.org"? The website schema.org recommends using HTML5 microdata (which can use any vocabulary that has a URI identifying it), along with suggesting a very basic vocabulary. However, the vocabulary suggested by schema.org does not have terms for the citation d

Ah, does mendeley use coins too? Are you saying Mendeley recognizes UnAPI too? Or that Mendeley recognizes COinS embedded in page, but not UnAPI? Interesting. It's too bad that COinS does not validate under HTML5. I wish we could get mendeley, zotero, et al, to agree on some newer simple fo

Funny this topic comes up right now. A few days ago, Wikipedia (arguably the biggest provider of COiNS) decided to discontinue it because they've discovered that generating the COinS using their decrepit infrastructure uses up so much processing power that attempts to edit pages with lots of citat

Re: [CODE4LIB] COinS

For what it is worth, I can offer an approximate measure of the utility of COinS. After my online database had UnAPI metadata available for quite a while, I began receiving lots of requests for COinS from people who use Mendeley. Normally, I receive lots of complaints, requests and suggestions. I h

Re: [CODE4LIB] COinS

Dave, COinS is still alive and Zotero will export citations as COinS: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata/coins I think Mendeley supports them, too. COinS may eventually be replaced by or repurposed as some flavor of microformat, e.g. http://microformats.org/wiki/citation and ht

[CODE4LIB] COinS

I've used the COinS Generator at OCLC for years. Now it is gone. Any suggestions on how I can get an occasional COinS for use in our bibliography? Do any of the citation managers generate COinS? Or is this just an old unused metadata format that should be replaced by something else? Thanks,

So many of the link resolution problems seem be when vendors change their interface and url structure breaking inbound requests until the link resolvers can get up to speed and adjust their parsers.

Re: [CODE4LIB] OpenURL linking but from the content provider's point of view

David, The short answer is that your application needs to map keys and values from the OpenURL query to your application's specific query interface. DSpace supports OpenURL requests. You can find some of the relevant code at: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui/src/main/java/
