Getting the data behind a record in the Lincoln Repository

Posted on July 9th, 2012 by Paul Stainthorp

I’m making a note of this here in case I need it again.

For a record in the Lincoln Repository with a given EPrints record ID (e.g. 4904), it’s possible to get the data behind the record in various formats, using the following URLs (N.B. how the record ID appears twice in each URL):

JSON

http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/cgi/export/4904/JSON/lirolem-eprint-4904.js

EPrints XML

http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/cgi/export/4904/XML/lirolem-eprint-4904.xml

BibTeX

http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/cgi/export/4904/BibTeX/lirolem-eprint-4904.txt

RefWorks tagged format

HTML citation

    http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/4904/

    right click, show source :-) It’s all in the link rel tags.

    Of course! :-)

    Obviously that’s how Google etc. indexes the Repo pages… but is the existence of <meta> content in a page useful to developers? I.e. could I point Nick at the page and say “…it’s all in there, just view source”? Could he then build applications that use the data from just that?

    It’s a genuine question, I really don’t know.

    Edit: sorry, I see which bit of the HTML you’re talking about now. Yes, all of that data!!!
