    In a web browser these display HTML, but in a tool like

Odd - its serving up HTML a little overzealously, including to the RDF validator


    Under the hood bioGUID is an OpenURL resolver that wraps CrossRef
    and PubMed, but also has access to JSTOR, and a database of other
    literature that I'm building (mainly taxonomic -- I developed this
    as part of a project on biological taxonomy).

    To do a search for an article you can do an OpenURL query (and you
    can ask for JSON or RDF to be returned), e.g.

    http://bioguid.info/openurl?genre=article&title=Molecular
    <http://bioguid.info/openurl?genre=article&title=Molecular>
    Phylogenetics and Evolution&volume=42&spage=157&display=rdf

That's perfect! One tiny feature request though -> No matches returns a HTTP 404 Not Found instead of an empty document?

Daniel,

There are a plethora of RDF aware user agents that you can use:
1. http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/ode/?uri%5B%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fbioguid.info%2Fpmid%3A9628005&; - Hosted version of OpenLink Data Explorer (ODE) 2. http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/html/http://bioguid.info/pmid:9628005 - Variant of ODE that starts description from the information resource (container).

Note: in the footer of #2 there are links to other browsers.
