Creating the world’s largest digital library

RDY 4 LVL 2

PROBLEM Outrageously high transaction cost associated with reuse of creative works (content) beyond licensing...

SOLUTION Consolidate and coordinate content standards and crowds of people

Content Formats (public spec w/no funky licensing)

GOOD HTML, SVG, ODF...

NEEDS WORK PDF, SWF (flash), OOXML

Standard metadata (xmp when possible, exception id3 for mp3)

GOOD XMP, RDF, RDFa

NO GOOD Exif, id3 (except mp3!)

Content Services

Active (API) (get: opensearch/atom/gdata, set: atom/gdata)

GOOD ATOM/GData, OpenSearch

NO GOOD Custom APIs, RSS (all of em)

Passive (dumps) (RDF and timed dumps – 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month)

GOOD RDF, Atom dumps

NO GOOD Database dumps, custom dumps

Content Licenses

Interoperable free/open licenses

Content Software

Free and open

Allow reverse engineering

Connection with free services definition?

Open Content Packaging

Source package/makefile

Makefile

Makefile.conf

url = API_URL

Simply, run: make dist (to make packages)

All packages go into /packages folder

Packages to be made...

*.tar.bz2, *.tar.gz, *.zip, *.xo1, *.rpm, *.deb, *.ebuild

Next Step Where should this standardization happen?

Next Step Should there be more added to this stack?

Next Step When and where should we meet physically to discuss?
