  But the title / authors / url information should be freely
  usable. Do you have data from that project available?

  I'd be happy to take part in this too by using the data

  But I have yet to see data from these projects.

  Is that data available somewhere?

  I'd be happy to see that. As far as I understand the larger
  sources are already on the OKFN sponsored 3lib.org.
