3lib.org, pronounced “freelib”, is a project by the Open Library Society. We improve the access to and the use of freely available scholarly metadata. Most of the records discussed here are already used in the Society’s AuthorClaim service. We are making the records available here for others to use them.
A project being undertaken by Curtis+Cartwright with JISC funding in 2009, exploring the legal issues associated with the sharing and reuse of library catalogue records.
You can use this website to clarify and advance your understanding of what you are entitled to do with the bibliographic records which you hold within your institutional library catalogue.
This Task Group is for collaborative work to enable broader use of the Resource Description and Access (RDA), building on agreements made at a [WWW]meeting held at the British Library April 30/May 1, 2007. Participants in the meeting came from DCMI and other Semantic Web groups, and the RDA development effort. The Task Group is led by Diane Hillmann (then of Cornell University, now at Syracuse University) and Gordon Dunsire of Strathclyde University.
The digital literary and linguistic resources in the Oxford Text Archive and in the British National Corpus have been available to researchers throughout the world for several decades. Technical enhancements to the resource discovery infrastructure will allow wider dissemination of open metadata, will facilitate interaction with research infrastructures, and the knowledge and expertise achieved will be shared with the community.
