I can't seem to find time to launch this URI CG, but...

"OpenURL
        OpenURL is an effort by NISO ((US) National Information
        Standards Organization) to develop a standardized format for
        transporting metadata in a URL. 
        
        Mark Needleman represents OpenURL in the URI CG."
