Audio: Udell interviews Chudnov

Filed under: Audio/Video — William Denton @ 7:47 am

Jon Udell has an interesting blog and most Fridays he posts a telephone interview. The blog is worth reading and the podcast series is worth monitoring. Last Friday Udell interviewed Dan Chudnov, who, you may recall, has a podcast series of his own, and interviewed me last October.

Udell’s post A Conversation with Dan Chudnov About OpenURL, Context-Sensitive Linking, and Digital Archiving explains what the conversation is about, and Chudnov’s The Other End of the Mic: OpenURL, Crossing Over explains his side of it.

Here’s the conversation between Jon Udell and Dan Chudnov (24 MB MP3). I mention it here because there’s a brief mention of FRBR and xISBN at the 41 minute mark. The larger questions of archiving and access that they discuss will, at some level, all involve FRBR.
