Notes

• AEON updates next call
• Language Ontology:
• Melanie: https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/taskgroup/BABEL-TG-Charge.pdf mentions use of ISO-639 for languages. Implementation issues: if BIBFRAME it would use the ontology, if MARC, then codes.
  Anna: Situation in Germany: MAB, PICA, etc.
  https://dini.de/ag/kim/ / https://wiki.dnb.de/display/DINIAGKIM/Linked+Library+Data+Gruppe is working on the topic
  
• Switching to another date for the meeting - we have to wait for the LG to decide about their day. Best days seem to be Monday or Wednesday.
• Mike: We need to have specificity in our definition to better distinguish things. Class restrictions might be a viable way.
  Blank nodes oftentimes lead to complications in implementation of ontologies
  Brian: When VIVO was developed, class restrictions had to be blank nodes.
