Thanks, Kevin! And Richard!

I'm thinking we need a good web site with links to tools. I had already 
been introduced to

http://www.w3.org/2012/pyRdfa/

where you can past a URI and get ttl or rdf/xml. These are all good 
resources. But what about someone who wants to do this programmatically, 
not through a web site? Richard's message indicates that this isn't yet 
available, so perhaps we should be gathering use cases to support the 
need? And have a place to post various solutions, even ones that are not 
OCLC-specific? (Because I am hoping that the use of microformats will 
increase in general.)
