[euopendata] Open Library Data?

Wed Oct 19 09:09:54 UTC 2011

Quite a few posts on <http://openbiblio.net/> e.g.

<http://openbiblio.net/2011/10/13/finnish-turku-city-library-and-the-vaski-consortia-now-open-data-with-1-8m-marc-records/>

There are also two groups on thedatahub.org with around 50 datasets in them:

<http://thedatahub.org/group/bibliographic>
<http://thedatahub.org/group/lld> (linked library data)

The OKF also has a dedicated working group for bibliographic data
stuff whose mailing list is:
