NLM Digital Collections Search

Metadata Description

The National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Digital Collections offers a search-based Web service that provides access to the Dublin Core metadata in the repository in XML format. Developers can use the Web service to build applications that query and link to these resources.

The service accepts keyword and fielded searches as requests. Results are returned in order of relevancy. Keyword searches may also be limited to Dublin Core fields. The returned results represent the subset of Digital Collections resources that are relevant to the query in the request.
