As for someone who might want to do this programmatically, he/she should
take a look at the "Programming languages" section of the second link I
sent along:
http://schema.rdfs.org/tools.html
There one can find Ruby, Python, and Java extractors and parsers capable
of outputting RDF. A developer can take one of these and
programmatically get at the data.
Apologies if I am misunderstanding your intent.
Yours,
Kevin

Thanks, Kevin! And Richard!
I'm thinking we need a good web site with links to tools. I had already
been introduced to
http://www.w3.org/2012/pyRdfa/
where you can past a URI and get ttl or rdf/xml. These are all good
resources. But what about someone who wants to do this programmatically,
not through a web site? Richard's message indicates that this isn't yet
available, so perhaps we should be gathering use cases to support the
need? And have a place to post various solutions, even ones that are not
OCLC-specific? (Because I am hoping that the use of microformats will
increase in general.)

-- I'm not certain this will fully address your question, but try
these two sites:
Website: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
Example: http://tinyurl.com/dx3h5bg
Website: http://linter.structured-data.org/
Example: http://tinyurl.com/bmm8bbc
These sites will extract the data, but I don't think you get your
choice of serialization. The data are extracted and displayed on the
resulting page in the HTML, but at least you can *see* the data.
Additionally, there are a number of "tools" to help with microdata
extraction here:
http://schema.rdfs.org/tools.html
Some of these will allow you to output specific (RDF) serializations.
HTH,

I have demonstrated the schema.org/RDFa microdata in the WC database to
various folks and the question always is: how do I get access to this?
(The only source I have is the Facebook API, me being a "user" rather
than a "maker".) The microdata is CC-BY once you get a Worldcat URI, but
is there an open search to get one to the desired records in the first
place? I'm poorly-versed in WC APIs so I'm hoping others have a better
grasp.
@rjw: the OCLC website does a thorough job of hiding email addresses or
I would have asked this directly. Then again, a discussion here could
have added value.
Thanks,
