A topic that was broached on the Discuss list this morning may be an important starting point and one that can impact and benefit bibliographic databases everywhere.
The topic centers around normalizing data entry procedures and guidelines. I don't know what has been done in the area, but a minimun seems to be an open source data dictionary with explanation of the terms. There seems to be a LOT of ambivalence in the approach to entering data items. Any progress we make in normalizing these will GREATLY help future machine manipulation projects.
