English note In the JISC IE, metadata is passed to a resolver service encoded in an OpenURL. Typically, such services take an identifier encoded as a URI and return an HTTP redirect to the current location of the resource being identified. Such a service can provide extended functionality, which may include redirection to document delivery services, redirection to online bookshops, redirection to local library services and further "discovery" activities. Further, it is anticipated that resolver services may make use of institutional profiling services to determine institutional resolution preferences. Published
English definition Network services that store, manage and make available an association between an identifier and some metadata about the identified resource, with the intention of supplying pointers to services that relate to the identified resource. Published
