Metadata harvesting
OAI-PMH interface http://arxiv.org/help/arxiv_identifier_for_services
http://arxiv.org/oai2/ is baseURL
http://citebase.eprints.org/cgi-bin/oai2 is the baseURL OAI2 interface for citebase data
A request needs a very and record identifier, e.g. http://arxiv.org/oai2?verb=GetRecord&identifier=oai:arXiv.org:hep-th/9901001&metadataPrefix=oai_dc
It would be good to get a utility to harvest paper metadata (see http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html )
Make an HTTP request to the repository for oai:arXiv.org:cs/0112017, which responds in XML.
