Re: dc:identifier in Google XML

Dear David,

I believe they're codes for universities.  UCSC is probably Univ of Calif Santa Cruz.  UOM is University of Michigan.  (You'll see STANFORD and OCLC in the results also, though OCLC is not a university).

I tracked one of items in the ATOM feed to the UM record:

http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Record/000680081/Details#tabs

The ID you see in the ATOM feed is buried in one of the 974 fields of the UM MARC record.

HTH,
Kevin

Subject: [CODE4LIB] dc:identifier in Google XML

HI All,

I am getting data from google books that I do not understand in the
dc:identifier field.

I understand ISBN: ISSN: LCCN: OCLC:

but UOM:, and UCSC:?

Can anyone help with what these two mean.  Are they Universities?
Here is a snippet of xml;

  <dc:format>book</dc:format>
   <dc:identifier>r0xMAAAAMAAJ</dc:identifier>
   <dc:identifier>UOM:39015035700759</dc:identifier>
   <dc:subject>Medical</dc:subject>
   <dc:title>Abstracts [of the] annual meeting</dc:title>

... generated from this URL:
http://www.google.com/books/feeds/volumes?q=Abstracts%20of%20the%20annual%20meeting

Thanks,

David.
