them, right?) their research on workset grouping algorithms, and
I've said it before and I'll probably say it again: OSLC anyone? OCLC is too
large and too old to substantially change their business practices. They have
great people working there and do some excellent things (which is why the fact
they won't share their goodies with the rest of us is so
How do you see an OSLC developing?
I've always felt the basis was getting some open library data—getting
the LC data out. This is apparently what the other Casey is doing.
Is there another way? Are there other supports that could be in place
when the LC data gets out?
