Also, http://www.library.yale.edu/~llicense/ListArchives/9902/msg00038.html :

"The journal as an overlay on preprint databases: Bob Kelly, American Physical Society This talk will describe the proposed integration of Physical Review articles, from 1893 onwards, with physics literature in electronic preprint archives ("e-prints") along with databases and electronic books. Recognising the value of e-prints, the APS makes bibliographic information (Title, Author and Abstract) freely available on the WWW for browsing and as a target for linking. This bibliographic information is referred to as the "wrapper," and is the focal point for access to the article and for APS article connections to other databases, including e-prints."
