info.openurl.oom.entities.Resolver

Resolver doesn't have a convenient synonym like most of the others. Its purpose is to decouple the content of a request from any specific Resolver. This is a great benefit in relation to OpenURL's roots in citation linking, but it is the source of considerable confusion for everyone else. Generally speaking, I would expect this information to be part of the server's configuration rather than have it passed in from the client. If you disagree, you will probably want to use one of the unfriendly Transports described in the OpenURL spec that are ready to accommodate it: openurl-by-ref, openurl-by-val, or openurl-inline. This information would be difficult to represent in Transports that can be understood by mere mortals. Normal Transports will probably want to assign a value of null whenever they encounter a Resolver variable.

If you are tempted to use this Entity, consider including another ServiceType in the ContextObject instead. This ServiceType should contain an info.openurl.oom.Service instantiation to deal with the situation along with URL descriptors indicating alternate resolvers. @author Jeffrey A. Young
