Hello Karen,
Thanks so much for your detailed response.

Hi Karen,
Simply adding .rdf to the end of that link returns the RDF/XML Ed
mentioned, though invalid due to the namespace issue. Additionally, it
looks to me like content negotiation is functioning properly against the
author URIs as well as the bibs, which is fantastic.
I'd agree with

I hate to say it but as someone who is working with the WorldCat Search API
at this point I sure could create code that used Open Library data faster if
you used one of the same metadata formats that the WorldCat Search API uses.

I assume that MARCXML is one of those formats? As for MODS, that's
possible although at the moment names would not be broken down. OL is
working on altering its storage of names to include separate given and
family portions, so that will be possible in the future.
Note that an
OK! thanks. There must be some default operating there... RDF for
authors is now on to do list! Here are the data elements available:

alternate names

FOAF doesn't cover death dates... RDA has death dates, alternate names.
Should FOAF be used

The Bio vocabulary might help with the birth/death dates:

Yes, the WorldCat Search API offers MARCXML. It is a bear to work with,
which is why MODS seems like a slightly better route. Smarter than DC but
