Summary: linkify "url.author.LibraryThing.com" to LT author url
Product: Tools

short request:
::url.author.LibraryThing.com:WagnerRichard-3:
should generate: http://librarything.com/author/wagnerrichard-3 (without "epo."
etc.)
Hi! At LT author urls are a lot of authority control data and useful links for
special areas of interest as chess, Yiddish poets and writers and other
"collections".
Today these data needs to be transferred manually to WMF projects and other
sites. A special ZCZC BEACON messaging is under development which is both human
readable and can be parsed with regex by computer programs, tools and bots.
The beacon is a context statement and all sites participating in "VIAF inter
project linking" can participate and extract the information they need. The
statement indicates a relation normally "identical author". It is not
restricted to libraries participating in VIAF and is using domain names as
keywords for non VIAF participants.
example:
"LibraryThing.com" is a domain name and "url.author." are descriptors for the
list value indicating their meaning and usage
In simple text the relevant "url.author.LibraryThing.com" information is
embedded in "::" and the **next** occurence of "::". The first value is
whatever is between the COLON after the keyword / keystring
"url.author.LibraryThing.com" and the next COLON.
In the future more values can be separated by simple COLONs.
The values for this keyword are character, digits, the MINUS and the trailers
"&norefer=2", "/names" and "/issues".
Example 1: "WagnerRichard-1"
Example 2: "1038773026" - this is a numerical author url for authors having
most works at an non LATN author url.
Example 3: "1234567-8" is a constructed but valid author url. LT does not have
this author.
testcases:
::url.author.LibraryThing.com:WagnerRichard-1:WagnerRichard-2:WagnerRichard-3::
::url.author.LibraryThing.com:1038773026::
::url.author.LibraryThing.com:1234567-8::
Example 4: Paul Celan (1920–1970)
::url.author.LibraryThing.com:2382197905&norefer=2:CelanPaul/names;CelanPaul/issues::
should generate:
http://librarything.com/author/2382197905&norefer=2#
http://librarything.com/author/celanpaul/names#
http://librarything.com/author/celanpaul/issues#
"::nl-nl::" is used for line breaks. The "::nl-nl::"-string is equivalent to
"::".
linkification:
the url is http://librarything.com/author/foobar#
notes:
a1) protocol is http://
a2) no language domain is specified; only "librarything.com"
a3) if no LT parameters are used this will redirect to the author url using the
most popular spelling;
b) the link name is "LT author" regardless of the type / trailer
c) the ALT text is "LT author" regardless of the type / trailer
d) safety link trailer generated by the / added by the VIAF bookmarklet is "#"
Please contact me if there are any question.
Best regards Reinhardt

Minimal implementation. If it is easier to linkify only the first value, this
is a very good start.
