                 CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

The W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group (http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/)
has been chartered from May 2010 through August 2011 to prepare a series of reports
on the existing and potential use of Linked Data technology for publishing
library data. The group is currently preparing:

--  A report 
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/DraftReportWithTransclusion
which consists of
   "Benefits"
   "Vocabularies and Datasets"
   "Relevant Technologies"
   "Implementation challenges"
   "Recommendations"

-- "Use Cases", a survey report describing existing projects
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/UseCaseReport
  
-- "Vocabularies and Datasets", a survey report
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Vocabulary_and_Dataset

We (LLD XG) invite comments from interested members of the public.

Feedback can sent as comments to individual sections posted on our dedicated blog
http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/w3clld/
or by email to a public mailing list
(public-lld@w3.org, archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lld/ )
using descriptive subject lines such as '[COMMENTS] "Benefits" section'

Comments will be especially welcome in the next four weeks (through 22
July).  Reviewers should note that as with Wikipedia, the text may be revised
and corrected by its editors in response to comments at any time, but that
earlier versions of a document may be viewed by clicking on the History tab.

It is anticipated that the three reports will be published in final form by 31
August.
