[open-bibliography] Recommendations for libraries on publishing open data

Mon Nov 21 11:41:00 UTC 2011

Hello,

last week the German KIM-DINI working group published recommendations
for libraries and related institutions on releasing open data. Besides
descriptive metadata which is already covered in other documents also
non-sensitive data produced by libraries and related institutions is
subject of the recommendations, e.g. statistical data or circulation
data. Furthermore, the recommendations don’t only cover open licensing
but also open access, open standards and the documentation,
sustainability as well as other apsects of open data.

To read more about it and my first first stab at an English
translation see

All the best
