This paper discusses the three guiding principles of the report of the LC Working Group and discusses some of the contradictions and problems with the recommendations. The Report focuses entirely on technical systems and does not deal at all with problems of human communication. The Report urges reuse of metadata but legacy data is a continuing problem rather than a solution. The report urges cooperation but offers a model of exploitation and reliance. The report assumes that all differences in information creation and use will be no problem for if we demand that everyone accept our (?) standards we can accept metadata as is. The report denies that service to sophisticated users is of value to the larger community.

This specification defines features to be supported in a date/time string, features considered useful for a wide variety of applications. It takes the form of a profile of / extension to ISO 8601, the International Standard for the representation of dates and times. ISO 8601 describes a large number of date/time formats. On one hand some of these formats are redundant and/or not very useful; to reduce the scope for error and the complexity of software, it seems worthwhile to restrict the supported formats to a smaller set. On the other hand, there are a number of date and time format conventions in common use that are not included in ISO 8601; it seems worthwhile to normalize these.

This paper discusses the idea of “progressive bibliography,” or proceeding from minimal to fuller descriptions, as an intellectually valid and pragmatically essential methodology. It examines some already existing approaches and discusses a few of the challenges and further areas of research. While the idea of positive accumulation of knowledge is old, computerized tools and modern information theories enables us to streamline this process to the benefit of patrons and scholars, and so managers of these collections have new tools to tackle ever-increasing backlogs of underprocessed materials.

The National Archeological Database, Reports module, is an expanded bibliographic inventory of over 350,000 reports on archeological investigation and planning, mostly of limited circulation. This "gray literature" represents a large portion of the primary information available on archeological sites in the U.S.

Citeproc-js is a citation formatter based on the Citation Style Language (CSL). Originally built for use in Zotero ('the popular bibliographic management plugin for the Firefox web browser), citeproc-js is a standalone Javascript module that can be run in other contexts as well: as a browser plugin serving or embedded in other extensions; as an embedded utility in a server-side or desktop application; or as the core of a citation formatting web service.

The Bibliographic Ontology Specification provides main concepts and properties for describing citations and bibliographic references (e.g. quotes, books, articles, etc.).

Submit an OCLC number to this service, and it returns a list of related OCLC numbers and selected metadata.

This ontology can be used as a citation ontology, as a document classification ontology, or simply as a way to describe any kind of document in RDF.

The FRBRoo is a formal ontology intended to capture and represent the underlying semantics of bibliographic information and to facilitate the integration, mediation, and interchange of bibliographic and museum information.

Imagine having the citation and abstract for every paper in each of your current research areas, organized in an iTunes-like interface for rapid access, and updated automatically every day.

Bookends is a full-featured and cost-effective bibliography, reference, and information management system for students and professionals.

The editors would need good tools to create and manage all of the bibliographic and personal relationships, and the users would need a navigation and visualization system that gave them customizable views of the information.

Using Library of Congress Authorities, you can browse and view authority headings for Subject, Name, Title and Name/Title combinations; and download authority records in MARC format for use in a local library system.

This is an utility tool to convert MARC and/or MODS to RDF.
