Books! Metadata! Microformats!

Led by PaulMunday

Libraries 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
