OpenURL is one way to go. Many OpenURL resolvers, including ours,
implement these types of links. Including the abstract is not
something generally available; some publishers copyright their
abstracts. Doing it this way, through a library service, helps to
present a uniform user interface that works the same way across many
databases and publishers.
for example, try:
http://isi.1cate.com/?genre=article&atitle=Memoirs%20of%20a%20software%20pioneer&title=Annals%20of%20the%20History%20of%20Computing%2C%20IEEE&issn=1058-6180&date=2002&volume=24&issue=4&spage=14&epage=31&aulast=Goetz
and look at the bottom.
see you all at UKSG,
