Hi All,
We have a popular service:
http://www.lib.unc.edu/house/citationbuilder/
Essentially it provides citation "genre" (journal article, chapter,
monograph) based web forms and allows users to fill them in and then see a
citation formatted in various styles.
Regardless of how folks feel abou

Hi Brian,
Your contributors might not consider Pig Latin, or anything else that can
be easily turned back into plaintext, to be "not releasing their actual
records." :-)
Here's a snippet that will completely randomize the contents of an
arbitrary string while replacing the general flow (vowels re

Yes, no baggage there ... :) Some of us are doing this completely without a
single triplet, so I'm not sure it is accurate or even politically correct.

A "named graph" gets thrown around a lot, and even though this is

The other issue that the 'modelling' brings (IMO) is that the model influences
use - or better the other way round, the intended use and/or audience should
