This is not a perfect list, if you have a recommendation to add, please let me know.

@raffaele@digipres.club @samwilson@wikis.world There are some techniques for specifying alternative URLs, e.g. Datacite's metadata schema provides a field for this, maybe it can be done with https://signposting.org/ and I guess the LOCKSS community (Lots of Copies Keep your Stuff Safe) also have a suggestion.

Monday I published an essay on my blog that collects ideas on what to teach about the analyses of bibliographic records - for librarians, book historians and IT persons:
An outline of an imagined training course on bibliographic data science
https://bibliodata.substack.com/p/an-outline-of-an-imagined-training
I am curious of your opinion: what is missed, what to improve, format of teaching, experiences etc. For me, I believe this will be one of the main topics of 2026 (among other plans).

An outline of an imagined training course on bibliographic data science

This essay is a further elaboration of the workflow described in the article Bibliographical Data Science: from Catalogues to Research Data. I would like to thank Szilvia Maróthy (L’Harmattan Publishing House), Károly Kokas (University of Szeged), János Káldos (National Széchényi Library), and Thomas Wallning (University of Vienna), as well as Julia Damerow (Arizona State University) for her advice and for her paper

@kcoyle@mstdn.social Again: I agree. We should have smarter interface for numerical and highly formulated classification schemes, but in order to do that they should be open access datasets. I could imagine different nice user interfaces to build on their hierarchical structure at background, but on the front end the user would communicate with human terms.

@stefan_hessbrueggen@fedihum.org @bibliodatawg@bird.makeup Thanks a lot! Congratulation, it is very interesting, I will take a deeper look. I have two comments at first sight: "Table 2. Mapping BNF MARC fields to ‘categories’, the human-readable meaning for a given MARC field" -- these fields are not MARC but UNIMARC, and similary "Table 3: Mapping SUDOC MARC fields to ‘categories’, the human-readable meaning for a given MARC field..." - these are neither MARC, but PICA fields.

A report on the Vienna Hackathon of Print Culture and Public Spheres in Central Europe (1500-1800) COST Action. It includes a video of my presentation "Introduction to Digital Book History Research," however do not expect too much, as not being a good presenter, I suggest instead to check out the linked slides.

@stefan_hessbrueggen@fedihum.org @bibliodatawg@bird.makeup Don't worry, it is not that important. A question: did you resolve place name strings with inflections, and multiple place names, e.g. "Augustæ Vindelicorum Et Wirceburgi" or "Posonij"?

@kcoyle@mstdn.social Yes, that is true. But I would extend this concepts to other kinds of identifiers, e.g. I just learn some days ago how intensively KBR (ex Royal Library of Belgium) injects ISNI identifiers to their catalogue. The questions are: 1) what about coverage? 2) can external researchers uses WorldCat or ISNI or other library related APIs (e.g. for concepts: DDC, UDC etc.)? I am happy to see that in recent MARC standard updates there are more place for identifiers and provenance information.

@kcoyle@mstdn.social Not manually. I agree with you that in scale it can be done only programmatically with a human-in-the-loop approach to supervise the results. See e.g. @SvenLieber@hcommons.social work at the BELTRANS project, e.g. https://zenodo.org/records/7372986 I am also doing similar things to extract place names, translators etc. from non authorised MARC fields. Do you have a reference for Edward's work?
