Matthias, How much will this initiative utilize prior standards such as dublin core (OCLC)? Some of what you point out has been worked on already by others.

As I have already summarized on a ESW Wiki page [1], we are currently lacking a common way for representing bibliographic information, and this is a highly undesirable state -- references to publications and authorship information are fundamental to scientific discourse. The newly founded Bibliographic Ontology Specification Group has the goal of creating a unified ontology that would solve this problem. There is very generic website [2] and a Google Group [3] available at the moment. I think a cooperation of some interested members of the HCLSIG and this initiative could be of benefit to all involved parties. -- Matthias Samwald [1] http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/HCLSIG_BibliographicInformation [2] http://bibliontology.com/ [3] http://groups.google.com/group/bibliographic-ontology-specification-group . -- Psssst!
