Library Geeks 013 - Jangle

...in which Ross Singer [1] tells us all about his new job at Talis [2] and his work on Jangle [3], aka Just Another Next Generation Library Environment. Jangle is an effort to connect and expose library resources using the Atom Publishing Protocol [4], but it's not as easy or obvious to do that as it sounds at first. Ross takes us through the reasoning of why Jangle is a compelling next step in the evolution of library web services and what needs to happen next.

We recorded this interview a few weeks ago, on the day of Halloween, before the U.S. presidential election, so if there's a reference or two to costumes or voting, that's why.
