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).

interesting visualisation by Jenn Riley: Visualisation of the Metadata Universe
 * technical discussions of existing bibliographic standards (MARC, FRBR, DC, PRISM, etc.)
 * 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
something from the ISO 639 range
 * where is the relevant part of the current MARC/FRBR/DC spec?
 * how is a DOI resolved?
 * definitive ISO codes for languages
 * 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. -- gjhiggins <>
