Hi!

I'm currently working on an add-on module for EPrints which will support
OpenURL passing - initially using the old style OpenURL, but hopefully
using the latest version eventually. It looks as if DSpace uses the old
standard at present, too.

The current implementation will work for incoming links by mapping the
provided fields into the corresponding EPrints metadata fields, and then
passing the user to a search results page. Links to OpenURL resolvers
will also be creatable from individual items (using the same mapping).

I'll mail the list once a beta is ready for testing.

Cheers,
Mike
