Umlaut is an OpenURL Link Resolver intended to improve access to library collections. While the Umlaut is not a standalone link resolver (it has no knowledgebase of its own, for example), it attempts to bridge library services more efficiently.

It is written in Ruby on Rails.

The Umlaut currently supports multiple catalogs (SRU only), link resolvers (SFX support only), Amazon, Google, Yahoo and Yahoo MyWeb, Connotea, CiteULike, OAI-PMH.
