[openbiblio-dev] Bibliographic metadata sets

Wed Feb 8 12:44:27 UTC 2012

Hi,

+1 to using the data hub for monitoring which datasets is available or not. That's how we did for the Library Linked Data incubator group:
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/XGR-lld-vocabdataset/#Library_Linked_Data_at_CKAN
And we did not regret it one second--in fact we could even some fancy cloud visualization from William :-)

We ended up creating our own group (http://thedatahub.org/group/lld). That was unfortunate, but we had no real choice: some of our data was not 100% bibliographic, and some was not open, so we couldn't re-use http://thedatahub.org/group/bibliographic ...

Note that we also ended up putting all this is an separate deliverable. You don't want to pollute your main report with long lists that will appeal only to a small subset of your audience...

Best,

Antoine

Yep, thedatahub is the first one on the list, i was trying to collect a list of major bibliographic catalogues but i guess it's not necessary since they're all in the data hub anyways :) Naomi, that spreadsheet is mainly about open access ressources rather than open bibliographic metadata, isn't ?
