Very cool to hear Jon Udell [1] connect up with Tony Hammond of NPG [2] to discuss DOIs, identifier persistence, work representations, and reference linking [3], among other topics. I don't think there was any mention of OpenURL in the conversation but I might have missed it. Funny how that can be just glossed over in a discussion very much about what OpenURL is for.
For a little more on the topic, see also this follow up post on Jon's blog [4].
