OpenURL Router Data (EDINA)

EDINA is making the OpenURL Router Data available from April 2011. It is derived from the logs of the OpenURL Router, which directs user requests for academic papers to the appropriate institutional resolver. It enables institutions to register their resolver once only, at http://openurl.ac.uk, and service providers may then use openurl.ac.uk as the “base URL” for OpenURL links for UK HE and FE customers.

This is the product of JISC-funded project activity, and provides a unique data set. The data captured varies from request to request since different users enter different information into requests. Further information on the details of the data set, sample files and the data itself is available at http://openurl.ac.uk/doc/data/data.html. The team would like to thank all the institutions involved in this initiative for their participation.

The data are made available under the Open Data Commons (ODC) Public Domain Dedication and Licence and the ODC Attribution Sharealike Community Norms.
