Hi, I've been around the Fediverse for some time now but never introduced myself.

I am a librarian from Cologne working on tools and projects around Linked Open Usable Data. I love the open, decentralized web and using/creating/maintaining free software. I also do some LIS teaching on IT topics.

I am tooting in English and in German but not frequently. I also toot for @lobid, @skohub and @swib.

"The OCLC v Clarivate Dilemma" by Karen Coyle: http://kcoyle.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-oclc-v-clarivate-dilemma.html?m=1

Amongst other things, I got a better understanding from thhis post of how MetaDoor is intended to work.

Like the last two years, #swib22 will be held online in the end of November with help from the nice people of @collocall that provide the infrastructure (BigBlueButton, live streaming, Mattermost) and support.

Since 2009, ZBW & hbz have been providing funding and staff to make the annual conference happen. Not to forget the wonderful programme committee that is doing a great job at putting together the programme.

SWIB also has a Mastodon presence at @swib.

There is this conference "Semantic Web in Libraries"(SWIB) which I am involved in organizing. Each year, there's a great bunch of people meeting.

You have something interesting to share about #LinkedData in libraries or related institutions? Or have some ideas on how libraries could contribute more to the growth and maintenance of the Fediverse?

Please consider a submission (which is only an abstract). The deadline has just been extended to 11 July 2022: https://swib.org/swib22/

Im Sommer 2012 hat OCLC ja auch mal die ODC-BY-Lizenzierung von WorldCat.org Linked Data in Kombination mit Community Guidelines verkündet. Die Seite mit den Linzenzierungsangaben und Attribuierungsanforderungen wurde interesanterweise – laut Internet Archive – irgendwann zwischen dem 2021-08-16 and 2021-11-06 vom Netz genommen: http://web.archive.org/web/20210816100557/https://www.oclc.org/developer/develop/data-sets/attribution.en.html

Mein vorläufiges Fazit: OCLC scheint mir ganz konsequent zu handeln, indem sie immer noch alles daran setzen, ihren Hauptasset WorldCat weiterhin exklusiv verwerten zu können. Um dies zu erreichen, wird nun halt (mal wieder?) ein Konkurrent verklagt, während bisher die eigenen Kunden/Mitgliedsbibliotheken unter Druck gesetzt wurden.

Aus Anlass der Klage von OCLC gegen Clarivate (siehe https://www.infodocket.com/2022/06/15/oclc-files-lawsuit-against-clarivate-analytics-worldcat-metadoor-metadata/) habe ich mir mal ein paar meiner alten Blogbeiträge angeschaut, insbesondere https://www.uebertext.org/2010/04/oclcs-policy-und-die-public-domain.html.
