Hi Tanja, There is, in fact, a project that deals with creating a Semantic Web ontology based on the MARC metadata standard: http://www.marcont.org/ However, there are reservations against using something that is too similar to Bibtex or MARC, because it is perceived as a rather 'flat' and unstructured representation. This is discussed in the comments here: http://fgiasson.com/blog/index.php/2007/04/15/the-bibliographic-ontology/ I am also not sure how much community acceptance Marcont has. I need to take a closer look at that project. cheers, Matthias Samwald -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
