Something for a rainy Friday afternoon ...

I've had a play with XSLT to produce HTML output from Celestial's OAI-PMH
interface (same as Jeff Young's OCLC OAI-PMH interface), e.g. from MS
Internet Explorer:
http://celestial.eprints.org/cgi-bin/oaia2-devel/cogprints.soton.ac.uk?verb=
Identify

This can be added to any OAI interface like so:
After <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> add:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="http://celestial.eprints.org/stylesheets/celestial.xsl"?>

And when viewed in a browser that supports XSLT will be rendered into a web
page.

Still have a few bits missing, and probably could make it a bit smarter -
but I think the principle is there.

All the best,
Tim.
