Quoting Jonathan Rochkind :
I think that linked data is potentially over-rated as a goal -- I'm
not sure it's neccesary. However, I _am_ sure that getting our data
into a more clearly documented and rational schema (aka 'data

For that matter, conversion to MarcXML is simple, and we have many free
reliable tools to do it -- it can be converted "on the fly" in an
automated process -- in both directions.
This is why I agree that focusing on the ISO format is a red herring,
especially if you're arguing that MARCXML wou

Programmers don't handle information in real time, computers do. In

I have to say, I'd expect Amazon to have more relevant/publisher/edition

Has this assumption been tested with users who know nothing about MARC?
Of course, they cannot use ISO-wrapped records. But even to use MARCXML
