Discussions transcribed from the dev list

In the interests of providing easy access to distillations of selected discussions on the Openbiblio developers and users discussion list (http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/openbiblio-dev).

Scope of the -dev list

2010-06-26 :: Peter Rust-Murray

• technical discussions of existing bibliographic standards (MARC, FRBR, DC, PRISM, etc.)

   interesting visualisation by Jenn Riley: Visualisation of the Metadata Universe 

• semantic transformation and loss between standards
• software for managing all aspects of bibliography (ingest, authoring, transformation, semantification)
• technical aspects of licences (e.g. machine-readability, linking on web pages);
• schemas and schema design
• identifier systems
• disambiguation
• text mining
• indexing (e.g. Lucene)
• crawlers
• "simple" subsets of metadata (what is the "minimum bibliographic entry")
• technology for recursive and nested bibliography
• technology for dynamic bibliography
• design of versions

Specifications

• where is the relevant part of the current MARC/FRBR/DC spec?
• how is a DOI resolved?
• definitive ISO codes for languages

   something from the ISO 639 range

• OKF bibliographic identifier system (I think we shall need one)
• links into LOD

It would make sense to expand each of these items into a page of its own, they are all quite pertinent.
