Work Package 11 The BIBLINK Demonstrator

The BIBLINK demonstrator primarily consists of the 'BIBLINK workspace' - a shared, virtual workspace for the exchange of metadata between publishers, NBAs and other third parties such as the ISSN International Centre. The workspace allows publishers to 'upload' metadata about electronic publications using email or the Web. NBAs and third parties are able to 'download' this metadata, enhance it in various ways and then 'upload' the enhanced metadata back to the workspace. The intention is that NBAs will use the enhanced metadata as the basis of a record in the national bibliography if appropriate. Publishers are also able to 'download' the enhanced metadata for use in their own systems. The metadata is stored and exchanged in several syntaxes, including HTML, SGML, UNIMARC and the national MARC formats of the participating partners. The software development for the workspace was sub-contracted to Jouve, Paris.
