@bitboxer@mastodon.social I don’t think deep linking is missing per se. It’s just not the type of data that a map usually has. I thought it might be a good starting point. Like, groups stores by chain name and manually work out linking scheme for a few more popular ones in the country of interest. You probably will have to use some sort of api to translate isbn to a link as in my experience most don’t use isbn in urls. Like, you can search by isbn but you get internal id in the url.

@bitboxer@mastodon.social Then there's also issue with isbn identifying a publication, and not a work. Casually people see all books of Lord Of the Rings as one book, but every single edition has its own isbn. Sometimes you might want to link to a specific edition. A very specific books that has a very specific cover and illustrations, for example. But for the purpose of work recommendations you probably want to link to a work, which includes all publications. And that might be a whole bunch of isbns.
