Libraries and Web 2.0 Discussion Group

Sharing bibliographic data-reuse and free licenses for the ‘product’ of libraries


The Open Knowledge Foundation (ONF) has criticized the draft report of the Working Group for Bibliographic Control of the Library of Congress because there is no provision for the access, re-use and re-distribution of bibliographic data without restriction. The ONF published a petition that all bibliographic data should be free which is supported by users and Web 2.0 services like Library Thing and the Open Library Project. What does that mean for our practice?


We would like to discuss this with representatives of the projects, national libraries and other major data providers. We think that we need to start the discussion as soon as possible and therefore invite all interested delegates to this first meeting of the Library and Web 2.0 Discussion Group.
