Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

This module provides an implementation of OpenURLs encoded as URIs
(Key/Encoded-Value (KEV) Format), this forms only a part of the OpenURL
spec. It does not check that OpenURLs constructed are sane according to
the OpenURL specification (to a large extent sanity will depend on the
community of use).
From the implementation guidelines:
The description of a referenced resource, and the descriptions of the
associated resources that comprise the context of the reference, bundled
together are called a ContextObject. It is a ContextObject that is
transported when a user makes a request by clicking a link. A KEV OpenURL
may contain only one ContextObject.
The ContextObject may contain up to six Entities. One of these, the
Referent, conveys information about the referenced item. It must always be
included in a ContextObject. The other five entities - ReferringEntity,
Requester, Resolver, ServiceType and Referrer - hold information about the
context of the reference and are optional.
