Supporting Online Citation Managers through COinS
=================================================


OpenURL COinS_ (Context Objects in Spans) is a simple specification for
publishing OpenURL references in HTML. DataONE can leverage this mechanism as
a simple way to facilitate automated citation extraction from search results
for example.

Example, manually generated from the COinS generator at 
http://generator.ocoins.info/ :
