Please note that COinS are of advantage if a system does not know to which link resolver a specific visitor belongs to - this is very often the case for free available databases and repositories.

COinS versus OpenURL[edit]

COinS:

  • +   can be offered for every user (because the selection of link resolver is done by user)
  • +   can be used for other services and not link resolving only
  • -   requires the user to install an extension for his browser

OpenURL:

  • -   points to exactly one link resolver or link resolver registry
  • +   can be used without additional installation

Please note that COinS are of advantage if a system does not know to which link resolver a specific visitor belongs to - this is very often the case for free available databases and repositories. Subscription based resources can map users to the institution granting the access. Integrating a lookup in an OpenURL resolver registry could bridge the gap. --Inga 15:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

COinS could be nice addition for the CitationStyleManager as well, i.e. Wikipedia automatically adds COinS to all references specified by a specific template, see information in wikipedia --Inga 15:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
