I wouldn't mind providing a bit of feedback if I can for sure.

To set the context, I'm currently working on extracting records from a
French library (they are aware of it ;)) as part of trying to demonstrate
that opendata and library catalogs can be a great asset for various
interested parties.

I came across BibJSON and the bibserver whilst learning about the subject
of library catalogs and I really liked the principles behind both.

Obviously, being a public library, I have much more than just books and
articles which is way I was interested by your idea on the subject :)
