Following up on the earlier announcement [1] that the British Library [2] has made the British National Bibliography [3] available under a public domain dedication, the JISC Open Bibliography [4] project has worked to make this data more useable. The data has been loaded into a Virtuoso store that is queriable through the SPARQL Endpoint [5] and the URIs that we have assigned each record use the ORDF [6] software to make them dereferencable, supporting perform content auto-negotiation as well as embedding RDFa in the HTML representation. The data contains some 3 million individual records and some 173 million triples. Indexing the data was a very CPU intensive process taking approximately three days. Transforming and loading the source data took about five hours.
