We used Library of Congress Subject Headings (extracted from Call numbers) to enrich title data with coarse descriptive terms for many titles. There have been many difficulties with heterogeneous character encoding, making any diacritical character a problem. Nevertheless, the task was no doubt worthwile, and we see the intergration of BHL's title data as a great enhancement of our virtual catalogue ( http://www.vifabio.de/servlet/Top/searchadvanced?language=en ).<BR/><BR/>In the future, we intend to update our downloads from time to time, and we would greatly welcome any improvements in the data, especially regarding completeness of author information, and character encoding. Of course, for an implementation like ours, a dynamic interface to query bibliographic data in BHL would be very useful. But we know that these things form difficult tasks, and that the digitization process itself will be your focus for a long time. <BR/><BR/>(vifabio's web pages are in German language, sorry, but some of the most important pages are available in English as well, and others will be so in the near future.)Gerwin Kasperekhttp://www.vifabio.de/?lang=ennoreply@blogger.com
