The api for xISBN that Xiaoming Liu previewed at the Code4Lib meeting
is now officially launched and supported, and provisions for
commercial use are now in place.

For those of you who missed it, in addition to "related" ISBN's,
xISBN will now also return metadata such as title, edition, language
and publication year that can be used to distinguish manifestations
of a work. xISBN supports a RESTful API, as well as OpenURL and
UNAPI, and can return results in a variety of formats.

xISBN is free for non-commercial, low volume use.

API details are at http://xisbn.worldcat.org/xisbnadmin/doc/api.htm

With your support, we will continue to develop this service along
with other Worldcat-based machine-to-machine services.
