With respect, what is this?  I have asked our biblio specialists, and 
they've not [yet] heard of your project.  One of them took a quick look and 
told me that apart from it being a CC0 "creative commons zero" (i.e. 
disregard copyright) project, it's orientated towards URLs -- not MARC 
except incidentally.

You want to "bring [our] attention" to your project, my librarians ask 
"Does this break what we're doing?"
