Dear Daniel,

Hmmm, I may have been a bit hasty in my hacking, but I don't seem to get this at my end. For example, http://tinyurl.com/8kx3kl seems to work fine.

Can you give me a specific example?

I'll look into the 404 case. Again, can you give me an example to play with?

Regards

Rod

In a web browser these display HTML, but in a tool like http://dataviewer.zitgist.com/ you get RDF.

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 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?
