RE: schema.org and ONIX...

Hi Ivan and all,

This is also something we've been discussing within BISG- and will be addressing with our Metadata Committee at the next meeting. Graham Bell is an active member of that Committee, as are several people on this list. Let's keep in touch as these ideas progress- I'm sure there is a way we can work together.

All,

Can I suggest that we have an actual meeting of the Task Force to discuss all of this as a group?  There is  a lot to talk about. And if we are really considering ONIX as a possibility we should get Graham Bell involved as early as possible to see if such a consideration is even feasible and what would be involved. That I think would be a first step.

Also, Ivan, it was Laura Dawson from Bowker who was very interested in schema.org--from Bill's interview with her.  And I've heard her promote it at other times.  So safe to say there is interest there.

Phil

Ivan,

OPDS is a syndication format for electronic publication[1]. OPDS spec is in version 1.1[2].

OPDS? What is that?

(Sorry, I am still a new kid on the block...)
