Multiple projects already use BIBO at their core, or are able to export and publish bibliographic related information using BIBO. Here is a list of these projects, and some informationa about how BIBO has been integrated in them. Please contact us, on the community group, to let us know about new projects that use BIBO so that we can list them in this section.

Projects using BIBO

1. Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)

The DOI project is using some of BIBO's vocabulary to export its 46 millions digital object identifiers. Read more here.

2. Zotero BIBO Converter

This project aim to convert Zotero citations data into RDF using BIBO. The converter can be downloaded here (beta version).

3. EPrints

The EPrints project version 3.2 and higher is exporting its data, in RDF, using BIBO. You can read more about it, and have access points from this discussion thread.

4. BIBO Element Set for Omeka

Omeka (http://omeka.org) is an open-source web application for creating online exhibits and archives of cultural heritage artifacts.  The BIBO Element Set makes the properties from BIBO available to use in the metadata for items in Omeka.  It can be used either stand-alone, or, when the Linked Open Omeka plugin (also in-progress) is present, will expose the metadata as linked data. (in-progress.

More information about this plugin available on this blog post.

5. conStruct and structWSF

The conStruct and structWSF softwares are using BIBO as one of their core ontology. Two examples websites are the BKN Central and BKN People websites that uses BIBO for some bibliographic related information (right now, mostly people related data).

6. Virtuoso Cartridges

Some Virtuoso Cartridges are using BIBO as the ontology to publish bibliographic related data in RDF. People can have direct access to them by using the Linked Data URI Burner service.

7. SemanticLibrary.org

The Semantic Library website is exporting data in RDF. Here is an example.

8. DataIncubator.org

Some Data Incubator projects uses BIBO to export its data. Here is an example.

9. Talis Aspire

Talis Aspire uses BIBO at its core to output bibliographic related data. Once of the example is from this HTML page, to this RDF document.

10. Library of Congress' LCCN permalink service

A wrapper for Library of Congress' LCCN permalink service using BIBO. An example here.

11. Chronicling America (National Digital Newspaper Program)

The Chronicling America website at the Library of Congress provides a view on millions of page of digitized newspaper content from around the United States. The site uses BIBO to model newspaper pages and issues in the Linked Data views supported on the site. For example the page for the New York Tribune has this rdf/xml representation or this issue page, which has this corresponding rdf/xml.

12. British Library (Data & Metadata Services)

This project uses some of the BIBO predicates to describe bibliographic information they are publishing. Here is their website about their RDF output using BIBO.

Projects expected to use BIBO in the future

These are projects that are supposed to use BIBO in the future.

1. Zotero

Zotero is supposed to use BIBO in their exporters to export any citation related data. It has been part of some development version, but nothing is publicly available for now.

2. Talis Prism

Prism's core data model will be changed in a next version, and this new core data model will include BIBO.
