The RDF with DCTERMS and BIBO is news to me -- and I'm assuming from

Nope, been around for over a year now. See:
http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/restful_api.
The page at http://openlibrary.org says:
DataTables warning: Unexpected number of TD elements. Expected 924 and

How can I programmatically (i.e. via an API) do a whole text search of
the OpenLibrary record set? For example, using the web interface when I
search for Edith Wharton I get a list of works by Edith Wharton, about
Edith Wharton, having Edith Wharton in the title, and at least one work

In my opinion, RDF is more constraining than XML, because it forces
the designer to think clearly about the underlying model, rather than
presenting a lot of different metadata fields.
Then I will leave it to you to explain to the W3C how the

I'm not strenuously opposed to assigning a title to a work, no more so than

Hi,
Thank you very much for your answers !
Actually Lee was right; I didn't noticed it, but my search engine was not

Maybe you can put your schema someplace online that could be pointed to?

No. For purposes of a relational database I need an identifier that is unique

Be aware, however, that even if you follow Mr. Morris' advice, you
probably still won't get what you want or asked for.
Despite its name, OpenLibrary is not a Library. It's just an electronic
