Heya...
We've got a pretty good set of co-referenced identifiers for titles in
KBPlus (http://www.kbplus.ac.uk), although we don't have a service exposed
specifically for doing lookups. GOKb (US Sister project) will have a
specific coreference service for exactly this kind of query - Not public
yet, but worth asking the staff at JISC Collections for early access if
this is an interesting use case.
