From tomv at openly.com Wed May 4 16:12:59 2005 From: tomv at openly.com (Thomas P. Ventimiglia) Date: Wed May 4 16:13:54 2005 Subject: [gcs-pcs-list] OpenURL Referrer -- an Activating Agent Message-ID: <42792CCB.90002@openly.com> Hello all: Long time listener, first time caller... This is Tom Ventimiglia. I work for Eric Hellman's company, Openly Informatics. As Eric mentioned in a previous post, we have been very interested in incorporating the "Latent OpenURL" concept into our browser extension, OpenURL Referrer. Based on the Latent OpenURL draft that has been put together by the members of this list, I have updated the extension so that it acts as an "Activating Agent". A beta version of the new extension is available at: http://www.openly.com/openurlref/openurlref2_0.xpi . Hopefully this will be of use in testing out some of the ideas discussed on this list, especially with respect to performance. We would be very interested in feedback on the tool's usability as well. After installing the extension, go to Tools --> Extensions and double click on the OpenURL Referrer extension to customize its settings. One of the big advantages of implementing the Activating Agent as a browser extension is that you can customize the tool to your linkserver without having to create a custom bookmarklet or modify Javascript code. The extension allows to you maintain linkserver profiles so that you can easily change the linkserver address, link image and OpenURL version of the links. In its previous versions, "OpenURL Referrer" inserted OpenURL links into Google Scholar search results. We've kept this functionality in the new version, though it can be turned off if desired. We also have an "OpenURL Referrer" mailing list for reporting technical issues with the extension: http://support.openly.com/mailman/listinfo/openurl-referrer Tom From eric at openly.com Sat May 7 01:41:04 2005 From: eric at openly.com (Eric Hellman) Date: Sat May 7 01:41:08 2005 Subject: [gcs-pcs-list] 4, 000 latent OpenURLs embedded in an open access journal In-Reply-To: References: <125F7834E11A5741A7D79412EE3504F90F26D2CF@UK1APPS2.mpl.root-domain.org> <2675848ea608ca064ba1e4ee3bcf16c7@hubmed.org> Message-ID: first of all, is there a better name for this than "latent OpenURL"? that's a good name in a geekly way, but the word "latent" has an excitement rating of about 3 on a scale of 10. I've implemented about 4000 of them in an open access journal produced by Openly for the Materials Research Society. Go to http://nsr.mij.mrs.org/ and go to the reference page of any of the published articles. All references are linked into a reference database, and the reference database has been latent-OpenURL-enabled. On the implementation side, the main complications were removing markup from titles and encoding accented names properly.

From it: "Google Scholar now plans to expand this OpenURL service to all libraries. There are two ways in which OpenURL links can be added to Google Scholar results. First, for participating libraries, all users from the corresponding IP ranges will automatically have OpenURL links. This will serve all on-campus users. Second, users will be able to select their affiliation as a preference in Google Scholar. This will serve off-campus users. Libraries who wish to participate in Google Scholar OpenURL-enabling will need to complete two tasks in the SFX administration module..." Will report back after we try it out! >> Has anyone spoken to Google (or indeed SFX) about Latent OpenURLs? alf.
