Reading lists as open data - Meeting the Reading List Challenge 2016
1. The document discusses an open data project involving Jisc, Universities UK, and the Open Data Institute to make university reading lists openly available. 2. The project aims to collaborate across universities to publish reading list data in order to power applications like a book recommendation app and identify popular texts for potential deals. 3. Next steps could include using the consolidated open reading list data to recommend new texts, identify books to remove from lists, and monitor adoption of open textbooks between institutions. Barriers to sharing may include lack of common data standards.
