It does not check that OpenURLs constructed are sane according to +the OpenURL specification (to a large extent sanity will depend on the +community of use). + +From the implementation guidelines: + +The description of a referenced resource, and the descriptions of the +associated resources that comprise the context of the reference, bundled +together are called a ContextObject. It is a ContextObject that is +transported when a user makes a request by clicking a link. A KEV OpenURL +may contain only one ContextObject. + +The ContextObject may contain up to six Entities. One of these, the +Referent, conveys information about the referenced item. It must always be +included in a ContextObject. The other five entities - ReferringEntity, +Requester, Resolver, ServiceType and Referrer - hold information about the +context of the reference and are optional. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/URI-OpenURL +Author: Tim Brody <tdb01r@ecs.soton.ac.uk> |
