So we have a few bookshelves in our house–one of which is in our kitchen. Only one or two of the shelves in this bookshelf actually house books, most of which are food-stained cookbooks. The rest of the 4 or 5 shelves are given over to photographs, albums, pamphlets from schools, framed pictures, …

bagit and .deb
http://inkdroid.org/journal/2008/11/05/bagit-deb/I’m just now (OK I’m slow) marveling at how similar BagIt turned out to be to the Debian Package Format.

http://blog.ecorrado.usthe GPL, have similar requirements. The non-commercial use is not a new restriction. Although I’d prefer the non-commercial use restriction not to be there, I can understand why OCLC would want it. What is new, as Ed Summers points out, is the viral nature of this restriction. I.e. if I give my records to a non-OCLC member, they will have to follow this policy as well. The new policy, makes it so that (without a separate agreement with a OCLC) a non-OCLC member “may transfer WorldCat Records of its own holdings to OCLC

And the payoff started blowing people’s minds. Because the Internet is a generative system it means it has a different philosophy from most other data discovery systems and APIs (including some that are built with Internet technologies), as Ed Summers explains: …which all differ in their implementation details and require you to digest their API documentation before you can do
