My question has to do with discoverability. Let's say that I have a
bibliographic database and I want to add the OCLC work identifiers to
it. Obviously I don't want to do it by hand. I might have ISBNs, but in
some cases I will have a regular author/title-type citation.
and let's say that I am asking this for two different institutions:
a) is an OCLC member institution
b) is not
Thanks,

Allow me to try to put this confusion and uncertainty to rest once and for
all:
ALL THE THINGS. ALL.
At least as far as we are concerned. I think it's well past time to put the
past in the past.
That's great, Roy. That's a *lot* simpler than parsing the
recommendations, WCRR, community norms, and such at [A, B] :)
Meanwhile, we have just put nearly 200 million works records up as linked
open data. [1], [2], [3]. If that doesn't rock the library open linked data
world, then no one is paying attention.

Yes, that is really awesome. But Laura was asking about barriers to
open metadata, so damn you for going off-topic with PR around a lack
of barriers to some metadata (which, for those who have not looked
yet, have a nice ODC-BY licensing statement at the bottom of a given
Works page) :)
