Reasons to include certain materials and/or collections in a pilot project, as discussed at the 21 July 2015 Working Group meeting:

• Materials already included in another grant project, "more bang for our bucks"
• Materials we are uniquely situated to provide access to (special collections, local expertise)
• Choose a critical mass of materials, enough to elicit patterns
• OR focus on one item at a time, and exploit all of its potential
• Choose a genre where the BIBFRAME vocabulary is well-developed
• OR choose a genre where the BIBFRAME vocabulary is under-developed, and recommend extensions
• Something popular with the students
• Materials likely to have a lot of relationships
• Materials for which external Linked Data sets are relevant
• Crowdsourcing opportunities
• Cuba!
