Introducing OCLCNUM normalization service
Thanks for great suggestion by Tod Matola in OCLC, we are introducing an OCLCNUM normalization service as part of xOCLCNUM.
-- xOCLCNUM service now accepts different variants of an OCLCNUM, and always return OCLCNUM in same flavor, such as:

--add a new method to generate different variants of an OCLCNUM.
