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.) kc On 7/10/12 12:12 PM, Kevin Ford wrote: > > is there an open search to get one to the desired records in the first > > place? > -- I'm not certain this will fully address your question, but try > these two sites: > > Website: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets > Example: http://tinyurl.com/dx3h5bg > > Website: http://linter.structured-data.org/ > Example: http://tinyurl.com/bmm8bbc > > These sites will extract the data, but I don't think you get your > choice of serialization.
