Yes, this seems to be standard library practice. However, it would be a good project to go beyond this and start to document the history of publishers and imprints. OpenLibrary could have been that project. Now it isn't. In some instances, I have written articles in Wikipedia about publishers or longer series of publications. For Swedish publishers this is something I can get away with in the Swedish language Wikipedia, but I can't promise that you can do the same in the English Wikipedia. Here are two examples (in Swedish), http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%A5netryckeriets_f%C3%B6rlag http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skoglunds_bokf%C3%B6rlag -- Lars Aronsson (l...@aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list - Ol-discuss@archive.org http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/ol-discuss@archive.org/ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to ol-discuss-unsubscr...@archive.org
