Bibliographic data held by a library has the potential to deliver value far beyond the OPAC and the internal systems of the library itself. As an adjunct to course websites, as a driver for reading clubs, and as a source of reference data for bloggers, readers, and genre enthusiasts, authoritative bibliographic data deserves to be used in all manner of third party applications. These might be developed by or for a community, and might be free at the point of use, or incur a fee. In all cases the existing library OPAC remains freely available to all.
This use case differs from UC17 because it is about open-ended experimental community development possibilities whereas UC17 is about exploitation in a commercial development.
