museuminstitutionname: Museum of London, link: http://www.museumoflondonarchaeology.org.uk/museumoflondon/food/rest.aspx?source=pubs&mode=xml, notes: Publications data interface for the Museum of London Archaeology Service. Results returned in XML, most of which is pretty self explanatory. The parameters are: stuff * date. A four-figure year * key. A word or phrase. I think you can put spaces in, though %20 may be safer. Put ~ instead of /, not that you're likely to need the latter. * period. You need to know exactly what values are used by our editors here, which you can see on our publications pages. Replace slashes with ~ * region. Pretty much like period * topic. Works like period/region * series is a number: Monographs=1, Archaeology Studies Series=2, Popular books=3, Surveys and handbooks=4 * avail is precise availability. Numeric too. It goes 1-5, 1 being in print and available, 2 in print but out of stock, 2 out of print but in stock, 4 forthcoming, 5=gone forever * minavail is like <=avail (e.g. 3 will get back 1 and 2 too) Also required are two parameters already in the URL above: * source. At the moment, only "pubs" is supported. This will change to include events in due course. * mode. XML only right now, in the future text and perhaps RSS or other , type: API / RSS / Machine Readable

This is presented as HTML and has also been converted to KML (e.g. http://www.molas.org.uk/xml/sitesummaries2006v2.kml), and is also obviously available in raw form (e.g. http://www.molas.org.uk/xml/summaries2006.xml, though the KML has all the data in, I think).
