Hi Folks,
The University Library at UNC-Chapel Hill has created an OCA API. We have
harvested (and continue to harvest) standard bibliographic identifiers and
link them to OCA identifiers. The API is deliberately modeled after
Google's for ease of implementation.

xiaoming,
This is cool. just a couple of thoughts.
If a user is interested in "The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived
Before Achilles" with ISBN:0689868847, and he can limit the search to "OCA"
by issuing xISBN request with "library=oca", such as:
http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/
Jonathan,
We are using public FRBR algorithm developed by OCLC Research
Since we just loaded limited OCA records into xISBN service, it might be
interesting to illustrate what can be done in current system.
If a user is interested in "The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived
Before Achilles"
This is great stuff. I am interested in what algorithms you are using to
group works. It sounds like you are doing that, above what OCA does
(which is nothing, I think). Have you gotten that far yet? What are you
thinking? Oh wait, you're from OCLC, you guys have already got all sorts
of stuff to
This is pretty good stuff. Consider submitting an article proposal to
Code4Lib Journal about it. :)

In our office we too have been investigating the e-book material at

We'd like to build just the sort of OCA index / id-switcher that Tim

Library API (but we don't know when that might come about).
As OCA moves forward, folks may well be digitizing identical books. So
there may not be a one to one relationship between unique catalog
identifier, unique oca identifier, and isbn/lccn/oclc number.

I see a whole lot of "not invented here" syndrome from IA, honestly.
They seem to want to re-invent everything themselves, rather than try to
use existing conventions. Even if they come up with something slightly
