Hi, the DOI system supports some metadata lookup via HTTP
content-negotiation.
I found this blog post talking about CrossRef's support:
http://www.crossref.org/CrossTech/2011/04/content_negotiation_for_crossr.html
But I know DataCite supports it to some extent too.
Does anyone know if there's overall registrar-agnostic documentation
from DOI for this service?
Or, if there's kept-updated documentation from CrossRef and/or DataCite
on it?
From that blog post, it says rdf+xml, turtle, and atom+xml should all
be supported as response formats.
But atom+xml seems to not be supported -- if I try the very example from
that blog post, I just get a 406 "No Acceptable Resource Available".
I am not sure if this is a bug, or if CrossRef at a later point than
that blog post decided not to support atom+xml. Anyone know how I'd find
out, or get more information?
