Which vocabularies will be used to describe the data?

[immortaleeb]

I've been looking into some existing vocabularies for book data and http://bibliontology.com/specification seems to be mentioned the most when it comes to library data. Unfortunately it does not completely cover all aspects of the data and lacks some things we might need (like the separation of book descriptions and physical books, a way to classify a resource as a CD/DVD).

For general information Dublin Core can be used.
I also noticed there was some price information about the books in the data, and since a library could be seen in a commercial context, should we also consider GoodRelations?

BIBO is indeed a good alternative.

I'd recommend that you have a look at this W3C DPUB IG note http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-dpub-metadata-20150108/ as the most official document for metadata.

After a quick look, I'd also suggest that you have a look at http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-dpub-metadata-20150108/ where you might find some more useful information.

In general, we normally look into http://lov.okfn.org for vocabularies but lately is frequently down.

FYI http://lov.okfn.org it's up and running again..
