Die Demoversion der Open Library ist ja schon recht beeindruckend und ich bin gespannt was passiert wenn alle Fehler ausgebügelt und beseitigt sind. Das Ziel des Ganzen erläutert Jessamyn:
Someone asked me during one of my talks if I knew of any projects that were actually trying to open source cataloging records and the idea of authority records. I said I didnâ??t, not really. Itâ??s a weird juxtaposition, the idea of authority and the idea of a collaborative project that anyone can work on and modify.
