Re: [CODE4LIB] CONTENTdm xml to CrossRef xml

I'm not a big user of CONTENTdm, but I was interested in this question so I did a little bit of digging around. I didn't turn anything up, but would it be practical for your situation to approach it a different way and use the Custom XML export, as described here:

Buh. I've got DataCite on the brain. Sorry for the irrelevant reply. Looks like the CrossRef schema is a bit more involved, but might be worth a shot still. s On 12-03-08 11:59 AM, Medina-Smith, Andrea wrote: Hello, I've searched the listserv, but I haven't found anything on this. I'm

I'm working with a set of images of artworks (images which are common on the web for the most part) and I'm wondering if there is a way to layer multiple possibly-subject-to-copyright-claim images together into a single layered image which would not be subject to any copyright claim. Since the
