Among the projects that the person we hire will be involved with are xISBN and xISSN. Perhaps I should take this opportunity to share a bit about our plans for these services. As Thom Hickey has mentioned on this list, xISBN has been a project from OCLC Office of Research, but it has been made available as an as-is service with no guarantees, no support, and is only infrequently updated. Nonetheless, I think most will agree that it has proven to be very useful and merits a more permanent home. The Openly Informatics of OCLC division will be taking on maintenance, support and development for this service. The free-access version of the service WILL continue; for-fee versions of the service will add enhanced responses and service-level guarantees. The current API will be supported. Best of all, there will be new services on the way. You should be seeing xISSN making an appearance pretty soon- send me e-mail if you have particular requests relating to xISSN (or xISBN for that matter). -- Eric Hellman, Director OCLC Openly Informatics Division [log in to unmask] 2 Broad St., Suite 208 tel 1-973-509-7800 fax 1-734-468-6216 Bloomfield, NJ 07003 http://www.openly.com/1cate/ 1 Click Access To Everything
