[Foundation-l] Bibliographic Metadata Guide

Mon Nov 7 13:54:10 UTC 2011

Hi all !

The Public Domain Working Group <http://publicdomain.okfn.org/> and the Open
Bibliographic Data Working Group <http://openbiblio.net/> of the Open
Knowledge Foundation <http://okfn.org/> have started the drafting of a
Bibliographic Metadata Guide.
The goal is to produce something that can be hand in to various GLAM
institutions to help them setting up a proper metadata model for their
works.
We want to provide them a few simple steps that illustrates the best
practices (or second-best practices) in terms of bibliographic metadata for
each category of works.

The current draft is available here
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Bibliographic_Metadata_Guide

We would like to involve the Wikimedia community in this project, so please
feel free to contribute it any way you like, and if you know someone that
might be interested in contributing to this guide, please don't hesitate to
forward the link to them.

Also, are also trying to set up a small task-force of contributors who
would be assigned specific sections or tasks. If you are interested in
joining the task force, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks !
