There appear to be few standards in this area, but there is, of course, the MARC Community Information Format, used by a number of public libraries, including some in Australia. Although the MARC CIF doesn't deal with bibliographic data as such, I guess this Initiative might look into its redevelopment as well? > > Talking to CI providers here in Australia, it seems that there's plenty of scope, and need, for a new, RDF-aligned schema, consisting of the elements required to describe 'community resources' (services, groups, events, etc.). I think it would be good, from both a systems and linked data point of view, if this could be developed at the same time as the Initiative was looking at the encoding of the RDA/AACR/DC element sets, etc. > > Philip > > Assoc Prof Philip Hider > Head, School of Information Studies > Boorooma Street > Wagga Wagga, NSW 2678 > Australia > Tel: +61 2 6933 2522 > Fax: +61 2 6933 2733 > Email: [email protected] > www.csu.edu.au > > > Charles Sturt University > > | ALBURY-WODONGA | BATHURST | CANBERRA | DUBBO | GOULBURN | MELBOURNE | ONTARIO | ORANGE | SYDNEY | WAGGA WAGGA | > > LEGAL NOTICE > This email (and any attachment) is confidential and is intended for the use of the addressee(s) only.
