Dan Chudnov :: Library Geeks 007 - Bruce D'Arcus
Originally posted by Dan Chudnov on October 27, 2006.
The seemingly ubiquitous Bruce D'Arcus joined Ed, Ross, and me to discuss his many efforts to improve bibliographic management for scholars. Bruce is involved in and tracks so many different initiatives, it's hard to believe this isn't actually his day job. We were particularly happy that Bruce could share some of his time with us during the busy school semester.
Among the projects noted during discussion:
- Bruce's Citation Style Language, now used in Zotero
- The OpenOffice Bibliographic project which Bruce co-chairs
- Wikipedia on the OpenDocument Format
- "OpenOffice, OpenDocument, and Metadata", his talk from Access 2005
- The hCite microformat
- The Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS)
- Boundaries of dissent : protest and state power in the media age, Bruce's recent book
