Umlaut wishlist

Desired or planned features.

• Allow a service_response to have a tree relationship to children, so for instance alternate versions of a text can be attached as children of the main link, expandable by the user.

• http://export.arxiv.org/api_help/  !!!!

• PubMed Central full text lookup http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/esearch_help.html (SFX may already do this?)

• Journal ToC from CiteULike

• 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/ See list of such packages here under "Other Parsing Tools" http://freecite.library.brown.edu/

• LibraryThing open knowledge API for more data. http://www.librarything.com/blog/2008/08/free-web-services-api-to-common.php

• Connect to internet linked movie database on movies: http://www.linkedmdb.org/

• Add information about the conversation happening around an article with Scintilla if we have a URL, PMID or DOI (Alf at Scintilla would prefer us NOT to use the API for high-traffic. But we can copy his techniques internally to Umlaut. CrossRef and PubMed for "cited by" on DOI and PMID identifiers are a good idea. He has also reverse engineered the Scopus javascript api to allow server-side json access. http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001512.html):

    http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001609.html
    Unofficially it will return json:
    http://scintilla.nature.com/conversations?uri=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.0020124&format=json

• Rochester “Getting Users Fulltext” style code to skip right to the full text, skipping content-provider metadata pages.

• UMich Mirlyn for metadata enrichment?

    http://webservices.itcs.umich.edu/mediawiki/MLibraryAPI/index.php/Mirlynapi:Home

• 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?

• LibraryLookup: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/liblook/index.htm At least until xISBN is baked in we could provide a link to this service. Increases the chances of finding a desired book in the catalog through work set grouping. Used by LibX.

     http://xisbn.worldcat.org/liblook/resolve.htm?res_id=http://www.iucat.iu.edu&rft.isbn=0451530942&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book

• 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.

• bip search url? :

http://www.booksinprint.com/merge_shared/Search/advsearch.asp%3FdateState%3DY%26txtAction%3D%26BooleanSearch%3D%26SType%3Dadv%26collection%3DBIP%26QueryMode%3DSimple%26ResultCount%3D25%26ResultTemplate%3Dmbbookresult_fl.hts%26navPage%3D1%26SrchFrm%3DAdv%26ScoreThreshold%3D0%26Criteria1%3DISBN%26CriteriaText1%3D0838935370

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

• 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 querying 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.
