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.
