Bibo basically pulls together some other vocabularies DC, FOAF, and some others, and creates a few new vocabulary pieces to allow people to encode bibliographic citations in RDF. • Did Dr. Moen’s research control for EncLvl when gathering and analyzing the data? • Three questions for Diane Hillmann: 1) In “Why Not MARC” are you talking about MARC 21 syntax (i.e., ISO 2709) or MARC element set? Note that the MARC element set can also be modeled as RDF/OWL. Diane Hillman: Certainly the first, but also the second-I think it’s difficult to deal with the two questions as fully separate issues. One difficulty is that MARC is designed for flat records, and doesn’t translate easily into the kind of data structures and encodings used out
