unAPI: Just the facts, ma'am.

• An open specification conformed to ROGUE '05 standard

• A lightweight, tiny even, HTTP API providing a service for clipboard-like copying and pasting of digital information objects published on the web

• But don't we already have this in...

  • OpenURL?
  • OAI-PMH?
  • SRU? / OpenSearch?
  • Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol?

• In fact, unAPI designed with layering on these pre-existing protocols
