Ian Davis, the Open Library, and linked data
I follow Ian Davis (a Talisman) on Twitter so I saw when he said:
The Hobbit FRBRised into Linked Data courtesy of Open Library and ThingISBN http://ol.dataincubator.org…
The hobbit, or, There and back again, gives a human-readable simple FRBRization of The Hobbit, based on information from the Open Library and LibraryThing. It’s also available in RDF/XML and in Turtle, which is RDF in a more easy-to-read format. (More easy to read than RDF/XML, though not necessarily actually easy to read.)
Ian’s e-mail OpenLibrary data refresh 3 – Hobbit Edition explains it all.
It’s a great example. I’ll be posting here about related stuff soon.
There’s also this view of the same data as shown at linkeddata.urlburner.com.
