I while back I mentioned that I would be presenting a paper at the Extreme Markup Language Conference in Montreal in August. The paper is an introduction to BMF (The Burr Metadata Framework) which is a monster markup language which pulls together concepts from the FRBR and Z39.19 (NISO Standard for Monolingual Thesuri) and draws on many concepts from TEI. BMF is designed to provide a framework for building distributed electronic libraries which can be annotated and extended by anyone. A few people expressed interest in reading the paper but I lost the list. So if anyone wants to read the paper drop me a note. It's about 80K zipped.
