'''OpenURL''' is a type of [[Uniform Resource LocatorURL]] (URL) that contains resource [[metadata]] for use primarily by [[library|libraries]]. The [[National Information Standards Organization]] (NISO) has developed OpenURL and its data container (the [[ContextObject]]) as [[American National Standards Institute]] (ANSI) standard [[Z39.88]]. On 22 June 2006, [[OCLC]] was named the maintenance agency for the standard.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/openurl/default.htm |title= OCLC Research Activities and the OpenURL Standard |accessdate= 2006-09-06 |publisherlink=Online Computer Library Center }}</ref>
