Hi! I think there is / should be a close connection between knwoledge bases and authority. It could well be that real authority records end up to be a "librarian accessible" version of a knowledge bases, at least for simple auth records.
One idea is, that you can add an auth record and some bibshed tasklet condenses them to suitable kb entries. This will work in some cases. Still, I think, there're some "beasts" of auth controled things. E.g. our journals are of this kind. We have such information as well when we're talking about "authors" and "institutes", and I'm not sure that this maps to kbs /in general/. At least, I do not see a way how "my librarians" can handle necessary changes to kbs at the moment at all. On the other hand I think kbs can not handle connected entries. Say you have a logical chain of subsequent entries. Institute A get's renamed to Alpha and later on is called A again and you have to track this history. Would be horizontal connectinos. Same for vertical A is top of a is top of alpha. And then connect this with a horizonal logic on each level. We have this for the instiutes mentioned, but also grant like entites show this. (Project B has several children and is the successor of A, not all children of A have sucessors in B and so on.) I think all this gets really important if you live on stuff that is used for some evaluation of projects or institutes and other kinds of "bean counting". How much was accomplished by A split by time and so on. Invenio can do a lot here but it just lacks some infrastructure ot enforce auth control. Our main problem right now is, however, that support for this lacks in the search engine. But this is due to the fact that we added most of the input methods in websubmit. IMHO we should discuss this a bit more in detail, but it gets a bit difficult without good examples and I think "hands on" will help a lot. @Tibor I'd really like to discuss this when I'm @cern and as Theodoros mentinoes IUGM should have a topic on this. We already did that at the start of our project, as you will remember. But right now I think I can come up with quite a lot more details than back then and also some solutions and pending issues. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : a.wag...@fz-juelich.de phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 www.fz-juelich.de/zb/DE/zb-fi ________________________________________ From: Tibor Simko [tibor.si...@cern.ch] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 10:18 To: Theodoros Theodoropoulos Cc: Wagner, Alexander; project-invenio-devel Subject: Re: Copyright notice per docfile On Wed, 29 May 2013, Theodoros Theodoropoulos wrote: > Please tell me that you're thinking seriously to revive BibAuthority! Yes, I confirm. It was in the plans for the past year already, but the revival got sidetracked due to shift in priorities. Now it progressively surfaces back to higher positions in the priority list...
