Desired or planned features.

• Parsing of formatted references from an entry screen. Use http://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/parsCit/ package. Very interesting! Or a similar UCOP package: http://purl.net/net/egh/hmm-citation-extractor/

• Rochester “Getting Users Fulltext” style code to skip right to the full text, skipping content-provider metadata pages.
• Google Books search to complement the OCA and Gutenberg searches I’ve got--may or may not be possible with no google books api. Screen scrape? Umich oai-pmh records?

• UMich Mirlyn Books:

• connection to OCLC Identities
• xISBN/thingISBN use. (Some thought is required in how to integrate this while avoiding false positives). Bowker ISSN service for metadata enhancement. OCLC xISSN? Integrate preceding/succeeding title information from OPAC or xISSN?
• Journal covers from Ulrich's via screen-scraping (or Ulrich's/sersol built in api?)
• Connotea integration
• Fetch ToC from LC. Screen scrape, I guess? Or z3950? Any other content from LC?
• Link to Books In Print ala Notre Dame.

• SFX plugin: Notice when first title given is non-roman, and look for roman title to enhance metadata with when so.

• Cover images from Open Library? See http://johnmiedema.ca/openbook-wordpress-plugin/.

• HIP and other OPAC searchers should pull ToC from MARC 505 when present. And 856's judged to be ToC in ToC, not full text.

• Fix Umlaut Referent to more easily allow multiple authors. Architectural change neccessary to get a lot of this stuff working right.

• "Cited by" service. Scopus via screen scraping? (scopus javascript api? http://www.scopus.com/scsearchapi/ ) ISI Web of Science is too hard to even screen scrape the interface is such a mess, but Scopus looks do-able. Google scholar?

• Enhance metadata to have full metadata for a refworks etc export. Using: CrossRef? Metalib? Anything else?

• A general purpose responsecache. Schema: Date, service/source, key. Use for caching image urls, ToC urls from LC, etc.

• Fix Worldcat registry auto-discovery.

• Add a Worldcat search that uses API, instead of screen scrape.

• Switch OCA search to use OCA native APIs, instead of indexdata mirror index.

• fix unapi in umlaut. unapi to rsi? For zotero.

• Change background to use Spawn plugin instead of manual threading. Investigating using spawn with fork instead of thread (terry reese on limited pool of forks).

• Crazy idea for an abstract interface/architecture to support querrying web service apis that require client side javascript, like Google Books and Scopus.

• Integrate my various local document delivery services into menu of options when full text isn’t available. More generally, a clear architecture for providing localized doc delivery services in addition to a single ILL link.

• SFX adaptor: Add a "rollup" feature that pays attention to dates to avoid eliminating coverage.
