. Thank you Nicole for editing this book. I've only have time to skim it and read one paper but it looks like a winner. Can't wait to read more.The article I read was on making your library's data accessible by Ross Singer. YES. Microformats, RDFa and eRDF, linked data, COinS, unAPI and other POSH (plain old semantic HTML) are all things I consider important.
