Here's a thought: John Riley in an authority record is linked through the 670 field (author of Cells today) where Cells today is the 245 in a bibliographic record. Let's assume there are about 4 John Riley(s) who wrote about cells, each in their own bib record. If any bibliographic record is

Have you looked the the citation microformat ( http://microformats.org/wiki/citation) ? Don't know where work with this stands but it seems pretty interesting to me. Karen On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 8:21 AM, Mark A. Matienzo m...@matienzo.org wrote: On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 6:08 AM, Tim Spalding

I was wondering if there was a good microformat. The trick is that the citation format is very much about stuff that gets displayed, and lacks the critical linking ids you'd want—ISBN, SSN, LCCN, OCLC, ASIN, EAN, etc. If people know of others that would work, maybe that's the answer. On Wed, Apr

So almost all of those identifiers can be formatted as a URI. Although sometimes it takes an info: uri, which some people don't like, but I like, for reasons relevant to their usefulness here. ISBN, ISSN, LCCN, and OCLCnum all have registered info: URI sub-schemes. I once tried to figure

Unless someone can come up with a perfect pre-cooked format—one that not only covers what we need but is also super easy and space-efficient (we have only 1/2k to use!)—Why don't we just decide on: 'simplebib' : { } and start filling in fields. I don't think it makes sense to externalize the

So, okay, the value added stuff you have will indeed be relationships between entities, which is not too unexpected. So, yes, I would want a real-time query service (for enhancement of individual items on display in my system) _as well as_ a bulk download (for enhancing my data on indexing).

Just to clarify, encoding identifiers as URI's, my suggestion, is NOT externalizing the information under another URL. It is just picking a standard format for identifiers, the identifier format of the web, to re-use standards and cut down on custom vocabulary. If your 'simplebib' idea made

I think Twitter annotations would be a good use for http://thing-described-by.org/ or a functional equivalent. The payload of the annotation would simply be a description URI and a namespace and value for descriptions by reference 1. the mechanism would be completely generic, usable for any

For our fed search service we very much echo Jonathan's real-time requirements/use case (we don't build indexes, so bulk download is not of interest): access - real-time query (purpose - to enhance data about items found by other means) query - by standard IDs (generally this is known item
