list available stores for testing ?
Hi, is there any list of the available stores that can be used for testing ?
It would be nice to have a list of them somewhere obvious here on the site.
Currently I've identified the following one's:
http://api.talis.com/bf/stores/ukbib/items
http://api.talis.com/bf/stores/holdings/items
http://api.talis.com/bf/stores/wikipedia/items
(adding a trailing slash will give you an error msg btw).
Instead of me continuing to do my guess work, i hope that a complete list would be put up somewhere :)
