High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! ContextObjects in Spans, commonly abbreviated COinS, is a method to embed bibliographic metadata in the HTML code of web pages. This allows bibliographic software to publish machine-readable bibliographic items and client reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata. The metadata can also be sent to an OpenURL resolver. This allows, for instance, searching for a copy of a book in one's own library.In the late 1990s OpenURL was created at Ghent University as framework to provide context-sensitive links. The OpenURL link server implementation called SFX was sold to Ex Libris Group which marketed it to libraries, shaping the idea of a “Link resolver”. The OpenURL framework was later standardized as ANSI/NISO Z39.88 in 2004. A core part of OpenURL was the concept of “ContextObjects” as metadata to describe referenced resources.
