Comment on A revamp of bibserver and bibsoup by Adrian Pohl

You already contacted me via mail. I copy my reply into this comment:

Hello Tina,

as far as I know development on BibServer has been discontinued some time ago. Regarding the code base, please post your questions to the openbiblio [1] list or even
better the openbiblio-dev [2] list and you will get a proper answer from people involved in the BibServer development.

An interesting project and some interesting ideas moving forward. I just came across all of your materials today, as we're looking to migrate a project we have into a more sharable and usable format.

However, it looks like bibsoup.net is down or gone. Is there an update to the project?

[…] We are interested in their PubMed database, containing more than 20 million bibliographic records in the medical field.

(For a nice distinction between the different subsets and bits of PubMed see WHAT DATASET ARE WE TALKING ABOUT at the related OpenBiblio project blog post.) […]

Comment on Discovery silos vs. the open web by Lukas Koster

One comment from the IGeLU point of view. IGeLU represents a specific group of users of bibliographic metadata, the customers of Ex Libris, the provider of the Primo Central global metadata index and the Primo Discovery Tool. In this respect their first objective is to protect the position of the institutions that pay both for the content provided by commercial publishers and other content providers on the one hand, and for discovery systems provided by commercial Discovery Service Providers on the other hand. This is why they focus on these parties. In these specific circumstances these customers do not per se benefit from Open Metadata, because they already pay for the closed metadata. Their problem right now is that some commercial content providers deny them the right to access that metadata by any means they choose. This is not to say that IGeLU and the institutions they represent are opposed to Open Data at all. On the contrary. But these are two different paths and battles.

Yes, for a long time, it's disappointing to buy metadata from metadata farms, only to find out how different the metadata is from the holdings in library catalogs and how hard the gaps can be filled.

The answer is that libraries must be enabled to merge their catalogs with article reference databases without restriction.
