Hi Erik, Hi Kevin, I don't think allconsuming [1] does already that, but that would be worthwhile to do in association with technorati.com [2]. When I do a book citation, i'm not giving a link to any online shops for the reason, that I have no reason to encourage one more than another. There's one correct way of doing things when you give a quotation of a book. I do that in my Web pages. <blockquote class="citation" cite="urn:isbn:0679723161" xml:lang="en"> <p>Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.</p> <p><cite class="dc:title">Lolita</cite> - <cite class="dc:author">Vladimir Nabokov</cite></p> </blockquote> So it would be cool if you could detect such references. I mean uri of the forms of urn:isbn:isbn_number That would encourage people to do the right think and you could even build on top of that a very precise quotation search engine. There will be, I'm pretty sure, a waterfall effects to that. If it's implemented, people will use it, the more the people are using it, the more your implementation becomes interesting and useful. Imagine the benefits of a very good quotation engine where everything is discriminated correctly. We could even work together to the piece of HTML, you would rely on, and so start a best practice for it. I'm pretty sure Tantek would be interested too. Kevin feel free to forward it to Tantek.
