Yesterday, we discussed in a workshop how a truly shared cataloging system could work. What irks me about such discussions is that they start off from a flawed scholarly communication system.
Today, @csarven presents the existing standards and building blocks for a truly web-based scholarly communication & publication system which sets a whole different background where e.g. metadata wouldn't be kept separately from actual publications but be embedded or attached to them as annotations. #swib23
@csarven I, for one, would rather see librarians helping make Tim Berners-Lee's original vision come true than acting as appendix to a broken academic system.
