Content negotiation pages
Content negotiation helps to show a source with the same URL in different ways, according to the settings of the user agent.
Adding the keyword uri to your url enables content negotiation. This is available for the following pages:
  • URL and BibTeX pages
  • author pages
  • BibTeX-Key pages
/uri/url/d1bb7b3f6cafafa7b418f9f356ff2e83
Shows all bookmarks with the specified hash.
/uri/bibtex/2b8b87c78e9e27a44aacde0402c642bff
Shows all BibTeX entries with the specified hash.
/uri/bibtexkey/hjss06bibsonomy/jaeschke
Shows all BibTeX entries with the specified key of the user jaeschke .
/uri/author/hotho
Shows all BibTeX entries of the author hotho.
The current supported output formats are HTML, XML, RSS, RDF, and BibTeX. The user agent specifies a preferred output format in the HTML accept header defining the priority order with the help of q-values. For example, the header definition 
Accept:text/xml;q=1,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png;q=1,*/*;q=0.5
would trigger the following priority:
  • text/xml
  • image/png
  • text/html
  • text/plain
  • */*
