Chudnov and Singer and Jangle

I listened to the latest episode in Dan Chudnov‘s Library Geeks podcast series, 013 – Jangle, where Dan talks to Ross Singer about Jangle. I can’t stop myself from mentioning that around 18m50s Dan Chudnov says the word “item” reminds him of FRBR, and a little while later Singer mentions about FRBR and manifestations. If you’re a library geek you’ll want to hear the episode, but don’t do it for the FRBR.

Sample sentence, from Singer: “So there is a DLF ILS-DI adapter that meets the minimum criteria of the DLF ILS-DI API.”
