I shan't be able to make it...

Note that we has an Openbiblio meeting today with AdrianP, Naomi, MarkMcg
and myself.  My guess is that Wed will cover quite a lot of the ground of
today which is basically:

Adrian and others have done a great job on promoting the release of Open
biblio. The German National Bibliography (?) is available in RDF as CC0.
Mark will have a look at at - maybe it's easy to convert to BibJSON - but
anyway we should work with the suppliers to create BibJSON - this is a
really clear example of why BJ is useful.

Mark and the team continue to make developments daily. I am awestruck. I
help by finding bugs (one of my skills). I think the first stage of BibSoup
is now clear - it's straightforward for many people to set up a Bibserver -
and it's eevn easier to upload to Mark's server.

We see Open-bib as a centrepiece of our Open Science/Access efforts (see
open-science and open-access). The interactive breakthrough will come (I
think) when we can easily annotate records (I am thinking by adding new
fields).

P.

The next call will be on the 15th Feb.
