Creating Field Selectors for PubMed OpenURL Elements

This procedure describes creating field selectors for these meta tags in an OpenURL:

• "pmid=PMIDVALUE"
• "rft_id=info:pmid/PMIDVALUE"

OpenURLs containing these meta tags can be resolved by an external lookup service.

The data from OpenURLs containing "rft_id=info:pmid/PMIDVALUE" values requires manipulation before you use it to retrieve an OpenURL from an external lookup service. You apply a regular expression to the data and use the result as the value of the field selector.
