From a different list I learned of the following WorldCat metadata API webinar, and I thought some of us over here maybe interested too. From the description:
The WorldCat Metadata API supports a variety of cataloging
functionality for libraries to catalog their collections in
WorldCat. This API provides you with the tools to create
applications to add new, and enrich existing, WorldCat
bibliographic records, and maintain WorldCat institution holdings
and local bibliographic data.
In this workshop, we'll review the features, discuss some
practical use cases, and demonstrate how the API works. Then
we'll open up the conversation to ask about the ways you are
thinking about using it: What problems are you trying to solve?
Where do you see it adding value for your institution? If you are
already working with the WorldCat Metadata API, you're welcome to
join us and talk about the problems you're solving and your
experiences working with this API.
