"a project by the Open Library Society, supported by the Open Bibliographic Data Working Group of the Open Knowledge Foundation. We improve the access to and the use of freely available scholarly metadata. Most of the records discussed here are already used in the Society's AuthorClaim service. We are making the records available here for others to use them. The idea is to build over time a large freely available dataset for academic performance evaluation and data mining. "
