We would like to create or send people to a page about COinS (for context in COinS span code).
Example page: http://vlib.mpg.de/sfx-coins.html
Services that consume COinS
- Zotero http://zotero.org
- OpenURL Referrer http://www.openly.com/openurlref/
- LibX Library Browser plugin http://www.libx.org/
- Check for a library OpenURL resolver associated with your IP address at OCLC OpenURL Gateway
http://worldcatlibraries.org/registry/gateway (for more information about this service see http://www.oclc.org/productworks/urlresolver.htm)
Resources for finding an OpenURL Resolver
OCLC Registry http://www.oclc.org/productworks/urlresolver.htm
http://dev.zotero.org/making_coins has this language: " “COinS” stands for “ContextObject in Span.” “ContextObject” is OpenURL jargon for the part of an OpenURL carrying the bibliographic information - basically, it’s a query string, everything that would follow the ? in a regular URL. And “span” refers here to the HTML tag . It’s the ContextObject that carries the bibliographic information.
The ContextObject is very flexible, and can carry everything from a simple title and author to more obscure things like a Serial Item and Contribution Identifier (SICI).
The upshot of which is that if you stick COinS in your web page, Zotero can pull all that data out again. "
