Isn't that what the OpenURL-Standard is supposed to be for:

http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/category/sfxopenurlsyntax


At the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, it has been implemented and an
XML service has been configured to exploit the periodicals
data resources we have. These include detailed holdings data that
are formatted in ways to allow for algorithmic determination of
what a library actually has or what license they have for which
online parts of a periodical.

Documentation is here:

http://www.zeitschriftendatenbank.de/downloads/pdf/XMLDienst_Beschreibung.pdf

And here:

http://services.d-nb.de/fize-service/

you can look at two sample queries.

The open URL, if you want to try it out, is

http://services.d-nb.de/fize-service/gvr/full.xml?
