Dazhi (David) Jiao has won the OCLC Research Software Contest with a submission consisting of an OPAC that includes a ranked list of harvested citations when a detailed bibliographic record is displayed.
This is a really cool use of OAI, but I'm also very intrigued by the runner-up's submission, (who just happens to be from Georgia Tech. Go Yellow Jackets!)
Ross Singer of Georgia Tech is the runner-up, with a WAG the Dog implementation featuring Open WorldCat and xISBN functionality.

A number of us attended Ross' presentation at GUGM; he (along with the W and A in WAG) has created an amazing tool.
He's speaking at the GOLD/GALILEO users group mtg, too, if you missed him at GUGM.
Cool. I'll have to check him out as I missed GUGM. Interesting stuff.
Anyone else planning on going to Gold/GAL?
I'll be going to GOLD/GALILEO and I hope that I'll be able to catch Ross's presentation. I was at all of those wacky cataloger sessions during GUGM and missed it then.
Excellent! We can relive the excitement from last years meeting!
