It's used as online bibliographic metadata. Basically it maps text references to online resources. The trick is these references can communicate more than just a URL - there's a whole structure of data that can be passed. This data is passed in the URL, which follows the OpenURL format. Therefore, you can now reliably parse a URL. An archive interface need only support OpenURL to support direct linking to documents. This solves a huge problem with internal search systems (which are all a little differnent).

A demo is here.
