A request or concern that came up repeatedly is the long-term availability of the lobid APIs.

I think the content on https://lobid.org very much implies long-term perspective, but maybe we need something more explicit:

  • For lobid in general, an explicit statement on long-term availability (A word? like insert 'long-term' before 'infrastructure'. A sentence? A full statement by the director?)
  • For lobid-gnd, some formal statement or information on our cooperation with the DNB on the GND (e.g. expert group GND-Development, Kooperationsprojekt GND-API). Do we need a formal cooperation contract with the DNB?

I talked to management and we can add such a statement by ourselves. Here is my proposal. Adjust the lobid.org footer. Instead of

It could read:

de:

lobid ist ein Dienst des hbz — Hochschulbibliothekszentrum des Landes NRW

en:

lobid is a service provided by hbz — Hochschulbibliothekszentrum des Landes NRW

At the linked page of the group Offene Infrastruktur we could adjust the "lobid" paragraph like this:

lobid ist der zentrale Linked-Open-Data-Dienst des hbz. Es umfasst intuitive Rechercheoberflächen für Anwender*innen und webbasierte Schnittstellen für Anwendungsentwickler*innen (Web-APIs).

Die lobid-Dienste bieten stabile Identifikatoren für einen langfristig verfügbaren Zugriff auf die Titeldaten des hbz-Verbundkatalogs, Beschreibungen von bibliothekarischen Organisationen aus der Deutschen Bibliotheksstatistik (DBS) und dem Sigelverzeichnis sowie auf die Gemeinsame Normdatei (GND). Die Datensets können so in verschiedenen Kontexten durch Anwender und Entwickler einheitlich (JSON-LD über HTTP) genutzt und eingebunden werden.

We should probably update the whole webpage using Text from the recently written group concept...

A Wikimedia editor expresses scepticism about lobid's long-term availability in a current discussion about adding lobid-gnd links to Wikipedia. This shows once again that a clear statement on the website is needed.

This passage could be added to the warranty.
