This means that the datasets describing all the millions of books and texts ever published in Europe – the title, author, date, imprint, place of publication and so on, which exists in the vast library catalogues of Europe – will become increasingly accessible for anybody to re-use for whatever purpose they want.
Resources such as Wikipedia can use the metadata and apps developers can embed it in new mobile tools for tourism or teaching. For information scientists, it will mean that vast quantities of data are available for Linked Open Data developments, creating relationships between elements of information that’s never been possible before.
