Search/retrieve access is to library data what Gopher was to the web?

Martin Malmsten — 2008-08-21T08:29:01

Hi all, I am simply going to throw down the gauntlet and say that search/ retrieve access to library data is not good enough. For too long have library data been trapped within data-silos only accessible through obscure protocols. Why is access to library data still an issue?

That comes later. The RDF also exposes some partd of our FRBR-algorithm, showing links betwee
