Here is the API response Umlaut provides to OpenURL requests with
standard scholarly formats. This API response is of course to some
extent customized to Umlaut's particular context/use cases, it was not
neccesarily intended to be any kind of standard -- certainly not with as
wide-ranging intended domain as OpenURL's 1.0 intent (which never really
caught on), it's targetted at standard actually-existing link resolver
use cases in the scholarly environment.
But, here you go, live even:

Json is also available. Note that complete results do not neccesarily
show up at first, some information is still being loaded in the
background. You can refresh the URL to see more results, you'll know
when the back-end server has nothing left to give you when
<complete>true</complete> is present.
Another XML response with embedded HTML snippets is also available (in
both XML and Json):

OK, what does the EdSuRoSi spec for OpenURL responses say?
Well, I don't think it's up to us and I think it's dependent upon
community profile (more than Z39.88 itself), since it would be heavily
influenced with what is actually trying to be accomplished.
I think the basis of a response could actually be another context
object with the 'services' entity containing a list of
services/targets that are formatted in some way that is appropriate
for the context and the referent entity enhanced with whatever the
resolver can add to the puzzle.
This could then be taken to another resolver for more services layered on.
This is just riffing off the top of my head, of course...
