Hi,
We're still working on it. Had to spend a little time figuring out
the right formats to use (and we're taking it from tape so that always

say when they're up we'll be sure to announce here.
Sorry for the delay,

I'd just like to say a word of thanks for everyone who has contributed so far

The ability to browse an organized list as it is currently implemented in most
library catalogs might not be a popular search method by itself, but having
such an index available as a search feature opens up the possibility of
creating a browsable virtual bookshelf if it is presented along with
Let me give another example: the Open Library API returns a JSON tree, eg.

But what schema is this? And if it doesn't conform to a standard schema,
does that make it useless? If it were based on DCTERMS, at least I'd have a

I thought I'd pass along a link to a conversation on LibraryThing.
