Why ‡biblios?
A rich internet application
Though browser-based, ‡biblios has a very rich user interface and takes advantage of JavaScript toolkits like YUI, ExtJS, Google Gears for local storage of bibliographic records.
Built-in metasearch
Much of cataloging consists of copy-cataloging and so ‡biblios ships with built-in metasearch capability using a web services layer built on the Pazpar2 federated search library. Users can set up and perform cross-database searches on any Z39.50 targets.
Built around library standards
The ‡biblios record editor currently supports MARC21/MARCXML records and utilizes a plugin architecture to easily allow expansion to other formats such as MODS, Dublin Core, etc.
Library Standards Compliant
Built in support for MARC21, MARCXML, Z39.50
Free and Open Source
‡biblios is available under the terms of the GPL software license, which ensures free and open access to use, modification and redistribution.
Initiated by the Library of Congress, BIBFRAME provides a foundation for the future of bibliographic description, both on the web, and in the broader networked world. This site presents general information about the project, including presentations, FAQs, and links to working documents. In addition to being a replacement for MARC, BIBFRAME serves as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data. A major focus of the initiative will be to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 formats while preserving a robust data exchange that has supported resource sharing and cataloging cost savings in recent decades.
Chopac.org has some interesting cataloging tools. There is an Amazon to MARC converter, DDC22 summaries, Amazon review server, and some others. They also have an ILS to download.It gets additional info from Amazon and Google Books to enrich the records.
This Task Group is for collaborative work to enable broader use of the Resource Description and Access (RDA), building on agreements made at a [WWW]meeting held at the British Library April 30/May 1, 2007. Participants in the meeting came from DCMI and other Semantic Web groups, and the RDA development effort. The Task Group is led by Diane Hillmann (then of Cornell University, now at Syracuse University) and Gordon Dunsire of Strathclyde University.
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, machine-readable version, FRBR Object-Oriented. The FRBRoo is a formal ontology intended to capture and represent the underlying semantics of bibliographic information and to facilitate the integration, mediation, and interchange of bibliographic and museum information.
A meme ID is like a magic bullet in the document saying "I am about this meme." Can we construct a general taxonomy of memes, and then specialized lists of meme IDs that authors will feel comfortable adding to their documents?

RDA (Resource Description and Access) - the working title of the new standard that will be the successor to AACR2. RDA is designed for the digital world. It will provide: A flexible framework for describing all resources - analog and digital; Data that is readily adaptable to new and emerging database structures; Data that is compatible with existing records in online library catalogues. FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) provides the conceptual foundation for RDA .
