    An interesting reference:

    "The Scholarly Link Specification (S-Link-S) Framework is designed to
    facilitate inter-publisher reference linking. Until now, a publisher
    wanting to link references from another publisher had to first work out
    a linking agreement, then work out a method to interchange linking data,
    and finally have programmers implement the links. S-Link-S streamlines
    this process by providing a well-defined syntax and vocabulary for the
    exchange of the necessary information. A publisher can then implement
    reference linking for a large number of publishers using a single
    software module."

          "Abstract

          The Open Archives initiative (OAi) promotes and encourages
          the development of author self-archiving solutions (also
          commonly called e-print systems) through the development of
          technical mechanisms and organizational structures to
          support interoperability of e-print archives. Such
          interoperability can stimulate the transition of e-print
          systems into genuine building blocks of a transformed
          scholarly communication model. This paper describes the
          Santa Fe Convention of the OAi. This is a set of relatively
          simple but potentially quite powerful interoperability
          agreements that facilitate the creation of mediator
          services. These services combine and process information
          from individual archives and offer increased functionality
          to support discovery, presentation and analysis of data
          originating from compliant archives."
