COinS versus OpenURL[edit]
- + 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)
