xID new features

We added a few new features to xID service: - xISSN now supports ISSN-L and RSSURL field, such as http://xissn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/issn/1095-9203?method=getMetadata&fl=issnl,rssurl ISSN-L data is obtained from ISSN agency, and rssurl is obtained from ticTOCS. xISSN also adds values to both data set, for example, xISSN automatically adds RSSURL to all ISSNs in same group. - xOCLCNUM now supports OCLC workid, such as: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/oclcnum/55847258?fl=owi And you can query by workid as well: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/owi/owi718389 I highly recommend using "owi[0-9]" in its whole format when you came upon workid, this will be very helpful for identifying workid from any web pages and facilitates interoperability and mashup. For more information, please check xISSN and xOCLCNUM API.
