Fred,

this is awesome. Unfortunately, my list of (private) books is in a database on my PDA and I still have to find a way to get it out of its own format to feed it into, say, Virtuoso…

Bruce,

I do not dispute that BibTeX is mostly used by scientists. But if anything is done, we should be careful to make an easy move to and from BibTeX. Lots of people are using it; in some areas, together with EndNote, it is some sort of a de-facto standard…

Hi Ivan,

Than ks for this blog post about the zitgist rdf browser.

Also, I would suggest you to read this recent blog post: http://fgiasson.com/blog/index.php/2007/06/04/my-personal-library-and-the-semantic-web/

Something related to this will be released later this week or the following one (possible that the example on the blog post doesn’t work anymore, should check back the demo server).

Also, check bibliontology.com (wiki.bibliontology.com) and the google groupd related to it. Much activity there.

Take care,

Fred

Ivan -- I'll just say the same thing I wrote in your post on BibTeX: most tools and ontologies in this space are designed for the sciences, and are way too limited for many scholars (including me) the humanities, social sciences, and law. Zotero is run mostly by historians. See the new work that Fred is also involved in.
