Speaking as a metadata (cataloguing in the old money) librarian working in the heart of the publishing industry (as I should do, because that's what I am) I would add: 1. On standardisation, I hope Bib Extend will largely draw on the existing widely used standard ONIX for Books. Two reasons:

Agreed. The SchemaBibex group is having some of this discussion, and I think the 'appropriate copy' problem is one the library community can potentially bring to the table. There are no guarantees, and it could be we end up with yet another set of standards/guidelines/practices that the wider

Owen, Good points well made - I don't think that any one commercial service has yet solved all the issues involved in these questions of appropriate copy, but I would caution that libraries and publishers need to work together on extending existing broad-based standards into these areas, if

The only difference between COinS and a full OpenURL is the addition of a link resolver address. Most databases that provide OpenURL links directly (rather than simply COinS) use some profile information - usually set by the subscribing library, although some based on information supplied by an

If the referent has a DOI, then I would argue that rft_id=http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2132176.2132212 is all you need. The descriptive information that typically goes in the ContextObject can be obtained (if necessary) by content-negotiating for application/rdf+xml. OTOH, if someone pokes this same

The same principle should apply for any bibliographic resource that has a Linked Data identifier. ...the difference being that with a DOI you have at least in principle some guarantee of what sort of stuff is on the end of the URI (and of it still being there). See

If David is coining his own ContextObjects, he could add his own Linked Data rft_id in addition to or instead of the dx.doi.org URI. The rft_id key is repeatable. If he does coins his own Linked Data URI, though, I would recommend having his Linked Data URI assert owl:sameAs with the dx.doi.org
