He's positive, and, in a way, drawing attention to the fact that people still have some days to comment :-) Cheers, Antoine > Some comments from Eric Lease Morgan, forwarded from Code4Lib: > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: *Eric Lease Morgan* <emorgan@nd.edu <mailto:emorgan@nd.edu>> > Date: Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 4:08 PM > Subject: [CODE4LIB] library linked data > To: CODE4LIB@listserv.nd.edu <mailto:CODE4LIB@listserv.nd.edu> > > > For the time-challanged, here are a few of my notes taken from the recently published drafts on Library Linked Data (LLD) from the W3C.
