I'm sorry, I had assumed that the "Dublin Core export format" was a format defined by an organization /other/ than OpenLibrary; that is, if I had an application that accepted data in the "Dublin Core export format" I could process it regardless of the source. If this were not the case, then Mr. Suhonos' request should already be satisfied by the RDF API already in place. What you have provided in the above link is a mapping between the somewhat fluid OpenLibrary schema and Dublin Core elements. This mapping will no doubt be helpful to OL developers (or others) in building software to generate the "Dublin Core export format," but it does not define what the "Dublin Core export format" actually is. So, is there such an animal as the "Dublin Core export format?" (Other than http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-rdf/index.shtml, which seems to already be supported by OL's ReSTful API.) If so, can someone tell me where it is defined? _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
