Dear subscribers!

The German Serials Database (Zeitschriftendatenbank - ZDB) [1] has recently 
published their bibliographic data as "Linked Data". By this means the ZDB, one 
of the world's largest databases for serials, fills a gap in the "Linked 
Library Data Cloud".
 
The publication of ZDB bibliographic data as "Linked Data" enables the reuse of 
our data in the semantic web both inside and outside the library world. 

As a first step the ZDB Linked Data Service [2] provides only a subset of the 
data of each title. In cooperation with our partner the German National Library 
(Deutsche Nationalbibliothek - DNB) [3] we will continuously expand the extent 
of linked bibliographic data.

More than 1.6 million bibliographic records can now be accessed and referenced 
by URIs containing the ZDB-ID [4].

Base URI:
http://ld.zdb-services.de

Non Information Resource:
http://ld.zdb-services.de/resource/<ZDB-ID>

Information Resource:
http://ld.zdb-services.de/data/<ZDB-ID>

HTML:
http://ld.zdb-services.de/data/<ZDB-ID> html.

RDF+XML:
http://ld.zdb-services.de/data/<ZDB-ID> rdf.

Example:
http://ld.zdb-services.de/resource/204679-9 (303 redirect)
http://ld.zdb-services.de/data/204679-9 (Content Negotiation)
http://ld.zdb-services.de/data/204679-9.html (302 redirect to the ZDB-OPAC [5])
http://ld.zdb-services.de/data/204679-9.rdf (title with RDF+XML serialization)

For the documentation of the service and contact details, please visit our 
service description page [2]. We appreciate your feedback!

[4] The ZDB-ID is a powerful identifier for serial titles. Unlike the ISSN, 
ZDB-ID distinguishes between printed and electronic versions as well as 
fractions of the journal history. It is no database identification number, and 
thus independent of the system.
