Hi,
I added a recent changes list at http://gbv.github.com/paia/ to easier
follow modifications to the PAIA specification.

Hi,
is there an established classification of loan types, preferable as
Ontology with URIs for each type? I am not sure about the English
terminology with terms such as loan, hold and recall. In
particular I am looking for a simple (!) list of types for current
relationships between a patron and

Hi,
We are developing a general API management tool to provide different
APIs (unAPI, SRU, OAI-PMH...) with different record formats (MARC, MODS,
DC...) to our databases. We now stumbled upon some confusion regarding
XML formats. The basic question is what is a format and how do you

Recently I had the vision of a kind of DBLP for the field of library and
information science. There are some commercial bibliographic databases
like Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), INFODATA, some

These have been included because they are in widespread use in a current
written culture. The problems I personally have are down to characters
used by a single publisher in a handful of books more than a hundred
years ago. Such characters are explicitly excluded from Unicode.

anything like that. We have

Hi
it's funny how quickly you vote against BibTeX, but at least it is a
format that is frequently used in the wild to create citations. If you
call BibTeX undocumented and garbage then how do you call MARC which is
far more difficult to make use of?
My assumption was that there is a

I think this is right. I wonder, would you consider a potential use

resource when a standard identifier is not known?

Hi,
I summarized my thoughts about identifiers for data formats in a blog
posting: http://jakoblog.de/2009/05/10/who-identifies-the-identifiers/
In short it’s not a technology issue but a commitment issue and the
problem of identifying the right identifiers for data formats can be
reduced

A format should be described with a schema (XML Schema, OWL etc.) or at
least a standard. Mostly this schema already has a namespace or similar

This is unfortunately not the case.
It is mostly the case - but people like

Hi Clay,
I completely agree with everything you just wrote, especially about
Atom + APP being more than just a technology for blogs. APP is a
great lightweight alternative to WebDAV, and promising for all sorts
of data transfer. The fact that it has developer groundswell is a
huge plus.
