Agenda

Working group blog/website

We decided to use http://openbiblio.net/ as the Working Group’s blog. In the future we’ll publish minutes and informations about ongoing activities there.

We also reminded ourselves to use the group’s hashtag (#openbiblio) more frequently on twitter etc.

Flyer

We did some more work on the Open Bibliographic Data flyer. It’s now posted on the blog and we solicit wider comments.

Principles for Open Bibliographic Data

see http://okfnpad.org/openbibliography-principles

We did some more work on this text and decided to not only adress libraries but also publishers and other institutions producing bibliographic data. More discussion is encouraged but please move it into the discussion part at the bottom of the document.

Debrief from #jiscopenbib

We had no time left for this. So it will happen on list.

Infos from the lld-xg?

Nobody from the lld-xg attended the meeting.
