Book Data View
This data is sourced from my own Linked Data experiement hosted at id.marisabel.nl. It is structured according to the RDA (Resource Description and Access) standard for bibliographic data and the LRM (Library Resource Metadata) model for bibliographic data. I catalog books I own, manually, using forms I created mapped to the RDA elements. The data is stored in JSON files. This is still a work in progress, so expect changes and improvements over time. Sugestions are welcome!

has summarization of content
In 2975, the orphan Yatima is grown from a randomly mutated digital mind seed in the conceptory of Konishi polis. Yatima explores the Coalition of Polises, the network of computers where most life in the solar system now resides, and joins a friend, Inoshiro, to borrow an abandoned robot body and meet a thriving community of "fleshers" in the enclave of Atlanta.Twenty-one years later, news arrives from a lunar observatory: gravitational waves from Lac G-1, a nearby pair of neutron stars, show that the Earth is about to be bathed in a gamma-ray flash created by the stars' collision -- an event that was not expected to take place for seven million years. Yatima and Inoshiro return to Atlanta to try to warn the fleshers, but meet suspicion and disbelief. Some lives are saved, but the Earth is ravaged.In the aftermath of the disaster, the survivors resolve to discover the cause of the neutron stars' premature collision, and they launch a thousand polises into interstellar space in search of answers. This diaspora eventually reaches a planet subtly transformed to encode a message from an older group of travellers: a greater danger than Lac G-1 is imminent, and the only escape route leads beyond the visible universe.
