I don't know of any bibliographic database tools you could use for your project, but I wish you all the best of luck trying to find something that fits the bill. It would certainly be a useful reference source.</p> Online lists of publications on a certain topic are certainly very useful.

Been a while. Liking the ideas. I recently worked on a story-based system for the beeb, and have a few chums interested in and working with RDF and linked data. Since I’m looking for a meaty pro bono project, wouldn’t mind talking more about this.

Good to see you, albeit in digital form,

‘Sven’

I agree with Felix regarding the linked data.

For me, the most important thing are interfaces which allow systems to interact and for users/sites to exchange data. That, to me, should be a core thing for the project.

Compatible on import and perhaps on export, but I wouldn’t base a system on it!
