Sorry. I guess I misunderstood. I thought David meant resolving OpenURLs pointed at his content. Jason Jason Stirnaman Digital Projects Librarian A.R.

The descriptive information that typically goes in the ContextObject can be obtained (if necessary) by content-negotiating for application/rdf+xml. OTOH, if someone pokes this same URI from a browser instead, you will generally get redirected to the publisher's web site with the full-text close at hand. The same principle should apply for any bibliographic resource that has a Linked Data identifier.
