OCLC provides downloadable linked data file for the 1 million most widely held works in WorldCat<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3306473&l=30085&ctl=437B60A:C073EF2ACA43AF343BC175D6FD022AEFD7E1CC818E7927B7&>

OCLC has published bibliographic linked data for the most widely held works in WorldCat. This downloadable file—representing nearly 1.2 million resources—contains approximately 80 million linked data “triples,” the term for the most granular relationship possible between discrete pieces of information.

“This is an important step for libraries and linked data,” said Richard Wallis, OCLC Technology Evangelist. “Organizations wishing to develop linked data services can experiment with this data set before going into full development. They’ll also be able to stress-test new services using a very large and important set of up-to-date, linked library data. We are really interested to see what people will do with this data.”

New survey finds consumers more trusting of sharing information with retailers than social networks<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3306473&l=30085&ctl=437B60B:C073EF2ACA43AF343BC175D6FD022AEFD7E1CC818E7927B7&>

A survey of 1,000 consumers by The e-tailing group and MyBuys found that consumers are more comfortable sharing data with retailers than they are with social networks, especially if it enhances the online shopping experience. The majority of survey respondents (55%) said that they are “mostly willing” to provide shopping preferences to trusted retailers in exchange for an enhanced shopping experience. In contrast, 52% of consumers responded that they are “much more concerned” or “somewhat more concerned” about sharing the same data on social networks. On the mobile frontier, however, consumers remain more cautious. In fact, 76% of consumers indicated they have mixed feelings or find it somewhat undesirable to be geo-targeted on their mobile devices.

“Today’s consumer is a savvy operator who expects a tailored online experience. The irony is that they’re more comfortable sharing shopping preference information with retailers than they are with social networks, which were designed for this type of exchange,” said Robert Cell, CEO of MyBuys. “The onus is clearly on retailers to leverage this privileged responsibly to deliver on the promise of a better experience. The data strongly shows that doing so results in a better experience for the consumer, increases brand loyalty and makes it a win-win for both consumers and retailers.”
