Hi,

My question is not directly connected to coding but I suppose there are 
some library geeks, interested in semantic web at this list.

During the last years I have crafted (or I am still crafting) several 
ontologies to describe library related information in RDF. I try hard 
not to reinvent wheels but to connect to existing ontologies as much as 
possible. I also try to keep it simple (such as Dublin Core) by creating
multiple small ontologies instead of one large library-ontology. For 
instance I created the general Simple Service Status Ontology (SSSO) to 
express the state of a service, such as lending a book (e.g. reserved, 
provided for pickup, on loan...), but also suitable for other services:

http://purl.org/ontology/ssso

Revisiting the ontology for Document Availability Information Ontology 
(DAIA) I thought about moving the list of library services to a small 
ontology of its own. Do you know of any more-or-less format lists, 
classifications etc. of library services? Is anyone else interested in 
an ontology of library services?

I also asked this at StackExchange, you can answer there or here:

Cheers,
Jakob
