Libraries lend cake pans:
- http://northhavenlibrary.net/children/cake-pans-2/
- http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/06/library-services/let-them-lend-cake-pans/#_
OCLC is the FIFA of libraries
Principles:
- Minimum Useful Differentiation - Catalog items need the minimum amount of markup to differentiate them from other items in the collection
- ie. Author+title, ISBN, Barcode, whatever
- The user should only add as much information as is usefuil to them
- The more descrtiptor markup an item has the more cannonical it is
- markup includes facts, categories "hashtag" includes interpretation
