Log file specification for data providers
We simply need the original OpenURL that was sent to your link resolver, one per line. Example:
http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/net/openurl/?genre=article&issn=01452096&title=Diplomatic+History&volume=12&issue=3&date=19880601&atitle=THE+FEDERALIST+PARTY+AND+THE+CONVENTION+OF+1800.&spage=237&pages=237-260&sid=EBSCO:ahl&aulast=Rohrs
http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/net/openurl/?sid=Entrez:PubMed&id=pmid:12889865
http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/net/openurl/?sid=google&auinit=DK&aulast=Belyaev&atitle=Domestication+of+animals&title=science+journal&volume=5&issue=1&date=1969&spage=47&issn=0582-2092
We run a file like this through our parser, which splits on the ampersand (just like the link resolver is designed to do), then count the elements and values in various ways.
The data in a given file should be grouped by quarter (e.g., 2010 4th quarter). The reason is we want to be able to track improvements in quality over time.
Please compress the file using zip.
Our preferred file naming convention is: yyyyqqprovider_openurls.txt. Ex: 2010q1ebsco_openurls.txt.gz
