All,

I'd be curious to hear from MarcEdit users about whether their institutions have made any concrete moves away from a MARC-centric bibliographic environment toward a Linked Open Data environment. I'm aware of what UC Davis is doing with BIBFLOW and some of what's going on at Stanford as well as efforts by Europeana.

Having read a bunch, watched presentations, etc., I get the sense that meaningful "adoption" (whatever that means) of Linked Open Data as a replacement for MARC-centric bibliographic and holdings metadata is YEARS away, at least outside the realm of relatively small, relatively distinct realms (e.g. Linked Jazz and or Civil War Data 150).

The MARCNext tools Terry has provided in MarcEdit are fun to play around with. Has anyone used them in a production environment?

Thanks very much,

Jeff
