lobid.org?

The akronym lobid stands for linking & opening bibliographic data and lobid.org is intended to do just that: supporting the process of creating Linked Open Bibliographic Data out of existing library and other associated data.

The intent behind registering lobid.org was to have a namespace for minting URIs for diverse things in the library world. We saw the need for a namespace which isn’t tightly linked to one organisation and thus it should invite organizations from all over the world to reuse these identifiers or even mint new ones.

Disclaimer

The entire lobid.org website is still at a very early stage, and there are a lot of open questions. It is our goal to openly provide all data behind lobid.org. Due to the fact that it is currently derived from existing databases, we need to check for copyright issues.
