David,
The short answer is that your application needs to map keys and values from the
OpenURL query to your application's specific query interface.
DSpace supports OpenURL requests. You can find some of the relevant code at:
Kyle,
Take a look at what the Embedded Metadata Working Group from the VRA (Visual
Resources Association) has done with developing a way to embed and export /
import descriptive metadata that can be reused in discovery systems as well as
being resident in the files, that can assist with file
and wouldn't it be ideal if most applications took this approach and
accepted incoming OpenURL? So many of the link resolution problems seem be
when vendors change their interface and url structure breaking inbound
requests until the link resolvers can get up to speed and adjust their
parsers.
It seems that the thematic folders and the file names may be ok
descriptive tag sources to start with. Perhaps you could try to identify
patterns to extract information for tags (i.e., hall, committee,
holiday, etc.) You could traverse the file system, and use the Google

But COinS
For what it is worth, I can offer an approximate measure of the utility of
COinS. After my online database had UnAPI metadata available for quite a
while, I began receiving lots of requests for COinS from people who use
Mendeley. Normally, I receive lots of complaints, requests and suggestions.

Funny this topic comes up right now.
A few days ago, Wikipedia (arguably the biggest provider of COiNS) decided
to discontinue it because they've discovered that generating the COinS
using their decrepit infrastructure uses up so much processing power that
attempts to edit pages with lots of
If the goal is to embed bibliographic metadata in HTML, I would suggest
Schema.org instead of COinS.

Could you elaborate on your belief that COinS is actually illegal in
HTML5? Why would that be so?
