Ed, I have NO IDEA how you got to rdf/xml from the OL author link -- do tell, and I'll take a look! There is no RDF/XML export template for authors, but one could be created. The URI/URL is simply the address of the author page, and also considered the author identifier on OL. Thanks for the covers suggestion -- I'll see if that can be added. kc Ed Summers wrote: > Thanks for announcing this exciting news Karen. Are there any plans to > improve the Author data view?
