We've been twitting new resources for a while now at @ubcnewbooks and I
added annotations when the topic came up last time. Until just now the
annotation was:
{
subject: "LC subject",
isbn: "ISBN13",
call_number: "(local) call number",
author: "Author",
title: "Title",
alternate_title:"(from MARC 880 if available)",
// And since just now I've added these to closer align with the
recommendations:
type: "book|ebook|music|map|video|...",
year: "20xx",
url: "http://url.of.ebook/if_available"
}
It's hardly MARC, but it's something. One thing I haven't decided is
whether the 'url' should point to the item's catalog record or to the
ebook url, since the catalog url is in the actual tweet.
