RE: [hcls] The Bibliographic Ontology Specification Group

Matthias,

How much will this initiative utilize prior standards such as dublin core (OCLC)? Some of what you point out has been worked on already by others.

Subject: [hcls] The Bibliographic Ontology Specification Group
 

I want to bring an initiative to your attention that should be of interest to many of the participants of the HCLS: The "Bibliographic Ontology Specification Group". As I have already summarized on a ESW Wiki page [1], we are currently lacking a common way for representing bibliographic information, and this is a highly undesirable state -- references to publications and authorship information are fundamental to scientific discourse. The newly founded Bibliographic Ontology Specification Group has the goal of creating a unified ontology that would solve this problem.
There is very generic website [2] and a Google Group [3] available at the moment. 

I think a cooperation of some interested members of the HCLSIG and this initiative could be of benefit to all involved parties.
