Hi Folks, I'm looking into tapping the texts in the Open Content Alliance. A few questions... As near as I can tell, they don't expose (perhaps even store?) any common unique identifiers (oclc number, issn, isbn, loc number). We're a contributer so I can use curl to grab our records via http (and regexp my way to our local catalog identifiers, which they do store/expose). I've played a bit with the z39.50 interface at indexdata (http://www.indexdata.dk/opencontent/), but I'm not confident about the content behind it. I get very limited results, for instance I can't find any UNC records and we're fairly new to the game. Again, I'm looking for unique identifiers in what I can get back and it's slim pickings. Anyone cracked this nut? Got any life lessons for me? Thanks!
