OCLC Research releases Open Source OpenURL 1.0 software The OCLC OpenURL 1.0 distributions provide OpenURL 1.0 resolution capability. jyoung@oclc.org http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/ http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/oclc_research_news.rdf July 12, 2005 The default installation echoes OpenURL requests formatted in HTML, but the service can be configured to support any context-sensitive service compliant with the OpenURL 1.0 protocol. <P>The OpenURL is a protocol for interoperability between an information resource and a service component that offers localized services in an open linking environment. Although OpenURL is generally viewed as a Web service protocol, this implementation decouples the Servlet front-end from the core functionality so it can be embedded in the architecture of broader systems. </P> <P>The OCLC OpenURL 1.0 software was developed by Jeff Young and Thom Hickey.</P> <P>This software may be used without charge in accord with the terms of the OCLC Research Public License.</P> <P>OpenURL 1.0 software page<BR><A href="../software/openurl/default.htm">http://www.oclc.org/research/software/openurl/</A></P> <P>OCLC Research Public License<BR>html: <A href="../software/license/v2final.htm">http://www.oclc.org/research/software/license/</A><BR>pdf: <A href="http://purl.oclc.org/oclc/research/ORPL/" target="_blank">http://purl.oclc.org/oclc/research/ORPL/</A> <SPAN class=small>(PDF:130K/3pp.)</SPAN></P> <P>OpenURL activities at OCLC Research<BR><A href="../projects/openurl/default.htm">http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/openurl/</A></P> <P>Jeff Young<BR><A href="../staff/young.xml">http://www.oclc.org/research/staff/young.htm</A></P> <P>Thom Hickey<BR><A href="../staff/hickeyt.xml">http://www.oclc.org/research/staff/hickeyt.htm</A></P> Jeff Young +1-614-764-4342 Bob Bolander bolander@oclc.org +1-614-761-5207 Software Architect OCLC Research Communications & Programs Manager OCLC Research
