[open-bibliography] Second RLUK Conference - Edinburgh - 10-12 November 2010

Fri Oct 15 09:38:23 UTC 2010

I have been asked to do a plenary session at this meeting on
"Democratisation of Knowledge". I've called it something like:
"Open Bibliography - a practical session in JISC-OKF Democratisation of
Knowledge"
The idea (which any of you are welcome to refine) is that we shall start now
and set some sort of target for the meeting - e.g. writing letters to
publishers asking them to read and hopefully sign the Open Bibliography
Principles. I'd also like to see how far we can crowdsource creation of
resources for automatic extraction of serial bibliographic data - nothing
illegal of course.

Current ideas are based on the event that JISC and I ran at the BL
http://scienceonlinelondon.wikidot.com/topics:green-chain-reaction
where we had a wiki and an OKFPad. In many ways simply exposing our current
open-bibliography discussions and progress will be valuable

And of course this is communal and global - I hope this catalyses other
ideas.

P.
