The Bibliographic Ontology 1.0 - published.
Frédérick Giasson announces the release of BIBO:
After months of development and nearly 1000 messages on the mailing list exchanged between 83 participants, the first version of The Bibliographic Ontology has just been published.
All the background documentation and the specification can be found at bibliontology.com.
From the abstract:
The Bibliographic Ontology Specification provides main concepts and properties for describing citations and bibliographic references (i.e. quotes, books, articles, etc) on the Semantic Web.
As Frédérick says in his post, this is a milestone. A milestone, not just for the project but for those wishing to describe bibliographic things in the Semantic Web. As he also says this is a beginning not an end - a really good beginning, a hat tip to all those that have put the hours in.
