Hello, this week the hbz has released 4.896.515 bibliographic records as Linked Data under a CC-0 license. We used the Bibliographic Ontology to represent the data in RDF and set links to the German National Library's authority files. For more information see the announcement[1] and the documentation[2].
The RDF representation of OL records gave us some orientation for the data conversion. Thus, the output is similar to OL RDf data so it might be of interest for the Open Library. I wonder whether OL could consume this Open Data without great effort, it is by all means better to consume than our first open data exports[3]. We would be very happy to see these records reused in an environment like the Open Library.
