Comment on The Construction of Immateriality by friedemann kawohl

Hi Jonathan, I have enjoyed reading your review of the Milan papers. It is a good format to briefly recall what we have heard. Thank you!

There is just one minor correction with regard to my presentation:

I was not Voigtländer‘s publishing firm that later became Springer, but: Voigtländer worked for some time with Julius Springer, before he returned to Kreuznach to take over his father’s publishing house.

I have learned that the next ISHTIP meeting will be in the US, unfortunatly not in Venice. Best regards friedemann kawohl

Comment on Bibliographica - for the collaborative development of bibliographies by Felix

Hi Jonathan!

In short: I definitely like the idea, but I would base the whole thing on linked data.

This would be, to the greatest extent possible, based on and compatible with existing bibliographic data standards including MARC, FRBR and Dublin Core.

It might be important to be compatible with MARC data in some way, but putting it at the core of an application would probably be a bad idea. It looks like RDA is getting somewhere these days, and it incorporates FRBR (which I would argue is not a data standard but more of an abstract model). The bibliographic ontology is an alternative that embeds Dublin Core, FOAF etc. LIBRIS, the Swedish Union Catalogue uses it to provide their bibliographic data as linked data. Hopefully more big library catalogues will follow that lead! That would provide Bibliographica with an enormous bibliographic data base, so that the users could focus on "Lists, lists and more lists"!

I’m looking forward to it. Especially that new useful game. Will it be Sudoku, do you think?
