It's my pleasure to announce that I have placed records from
OpenLibrary http://openlibrary.org into AuthorClaim
http://authorclaim.org
AuthorClaim is a free author identification service I am
building. It's free to contribute document data, it is free to
register as an author and it is free to get the registered profiles
in bulk at ftp://authorclaim.org
At this time over 85 million authorship can be claimed in
AuthorClaim. I am working towards 100 million. My next target is to
include data from institutional repositories.
Happy Valentine's day to all. I hope you agree with me that
AuthorClaim and OpenLibrary make a very lovely couple.
Here comes the fine print. I have used the dump from July 2009. I hope
there will be a more recent dump available soon. Since old/dead authors
are not likely to claim documents, I have not taken old documents.
I chose the cut-off point as 1965. Some OpenLibary date records are
not easy to parse. Such record are not in AuthorClaim either. FWIW,
I have stored the exact data that AuthorClaim uses in 3lib
ftp://3lib.org/amf/openlibrary
Enjoy,
