Re: RDA and ranges

Quoting Owen Stephens <owen@ostephens.com>:

I will start a list of available data sets on the library resources page:

http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Library_Data_Resources

Unfortunately I'm still not able to find the linked data, most likely  
due to lack of language skills. If someone can get urls that produce  
actual linked data, I'll add them to the entry on the wiki.

Also, I should mention here the RDF/XML output from Open Library:
