[open-bibliography] Examples of open bibliographic data

[Jonathan Gray]

I would hope that all of these (and more) are listed as part of the
CKAN bibliographic data group:

http://ckan.net/group/bibliographic

This lives at the OKF, we plan to maintain it in perpetuity, it is
machine readable, anyone can contribute to it, and it is openly
licensed.

The JISC OBD list is nice for a quick, human-readable overview though
- which is why I sent it here! :-)
