Dear all,
To my earlier email on PublicationBank I got no resonse, so I assume no
earlier
attempts or discussion on this topic have been started yet?
A pragmatic starting point for PublicationBank (PB)would be to use the
literature
entries of the existing LSID authorities databases to initially populate PB
with
GUIDs.
To get the appropriate GUIDs we ideally would have access to services from
the publishers, databases such as PubMed or the DOI foundation (crossref).
I called these services Bibliographic Query Resolver and just started to
search
the web for potential candidates. Results are here:
Bibliographic Query Resolver
Accepts bibliographic meta-data and returns the corresponding GUID (e.g.
DOI, LSID)
* CrossRef offers a variety of possibilities to resolve DOIs. More
information can be found at CrossRefs query spec pages. The DOI link
directly redirects to the online document (subscription dependent) or
abstract.
* PudMed offers a 'Batch Citation Matcher' to retrieve a PMID which can
be completed as LSID?
best regards,
Robert
