The main thesis of my post stems from a frustration over how publishers and societies (big or small) represent links to their subscription-based or free materials. There's still such a pervasive expectation that if you put these resources on the Internet, they'll somehow be magically found. When they're not found, then there is widespread lamentation that getting materials online was wasted effort. What I hoped from such a model was a clear illustration for how links to PDF reprints etc. ought to be constructed for efficient and intelligent aggregation that doesn't involve inherently brittle screen-scraping functions. But, your last question is interesting. Ought big organization like EoL be chasing these sorts of subscription monies from academic publishers?David Shorthousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07902186433894266822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846783121665026448.post-58352906307142939472007-05-28T01:04:00.000-06:002007-05-28T01:04:00.000-06:00The parsing tool is still a toy.

Academic users will be able to use their own local resources, and indeed might expect EoL to play ball with their libraries OpenURL resolver, which means that you'd want to provide OpenURLs, not specifically ExProxy links. For example, it might be better to embed <A HREF="http://ocoins.info/" REL="nofollow">COinS</A> in the HTML. Google Scholar maintains lists of institutional holdings for free (http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/libraries.html), and I wonder about the wisdom of a subscription model for universities. Perhaps a better way to think of this is to ask who would benefit from increased traffic to publisher's web sites...?Roderic Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269598293846172649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846783121665026448.post-60065176398210555032007-05-25T16:23:00.000-06:002007-05-25T16:23:00.000-06:00Here's a novelty - a comment on my own post!Rod Pa...Here's a novelty - a comment on my own post!<BR/><BR/>Rod Page beat me to the punch and is rolling a reference parsing tool into his <A HREF="http://bioguid.info" REL="nofollow">http://bioguid.info</A> store of applications.
