Here's one that I heard about at a presentation at ALA Midwinter:

People also like to cite this one, though it's not, strictly speaking, based in 
a library:

[CODE4LIB] Version 2.1.0 of JHOVE2 format characerization tool is released

2013-03-18 Thread Sheila M. Morrissey
*** Cross posted ***




The JHOVE2 development community is pleased to announce the release of Version 
2.1.0 of the open-source JHOVE2 format characterization tool.

Version 2.1.0 of JHOVE2 includes 3 new format modules, 1 new identifier module, 
1 new displayer module, and several bug fixes and enhancements from the Issues 
page on the JHOVE2 wiki.

The new format modules included in this release are for the ARC, WARC, and GZIP 
formats.

The new Identifier module uses the UNIX "file" utility, giving JHOVE2 users the 
choice of employing either DROID or file for identification of file formats.

The new XSLDisplayer module (which extends XMLDisplayer) can do XSLT 
transformations on the XML output before displaying it.

This release also reflects a new milestone in the JHOVE2 development community. 
 The new format and identifier modules are the contribution of developers from 
institutions (Bibliothéque Nationale de France and NETARKIVET.DK) beyond the 
original project participants (California Digital Library, Portico, and 
Stanford University Libraries).

Please see the release notes at  https://bitbucket.org/jhove2/main/downloads 
for detailed information about the release and for information about 
configuring JHOVE2 to use the new identifier module.  For information about 
issues resolved in this release, known bugs, open issues, and enhancement 
requests, please refer to

I think you're right Eric. I don't think knowledge can be encoded completely in 
triples, any more than it can be encoded completely in finding aids or books.

One thing that I (naively) wasn't fully aware of when I started dabbling the 
Semantic Web and Linked Data is how much the technology is entangled with 
debates about the philosophy of language. These debates play out in a variety 
of ways, but most notably in disagreements about the nature of a resource 
(httpRange-14) in Web Architecture. Shameless plug: Dorothea Salo and I tried 
to write about how some of this impacts the domain of the library/archive [1].

One of the strengths of RDF is its notion of a data model that is behind the 
various serializations (xml, ntriples, json, n3, turtle, etc). I'm with Ross 
though: I find it much to read rdf as turtle or json-ld than it is rdf/xml.

Is anyone involved with, or does anyone know of any project to extract and

or historic?

Sorry to be vague, but I'm trying to get my head around whether this is a

Re: [CODE4LIB] MarcXML and char encodings

2012-04-17 Thread Sheila M. Morrissey
Re: But do others agree that there is in fact no legal way to have Marc8 in 
MarcXML?

No -- it is perfectly legal - -but you MUST declare the encoding to BE Marc8 in 
the XML prolog, and you will want to be aware that XML processors are only 
REQUIRED to process UTF-8 and UTF-16 -- in practice many (including JAVA-based 
one) can handle other encodings -- but you will have to make sure whatever XML 
processor you use, in whatever language it is written, has a handy-dandy MARC8 
coder/decoder ring

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] MarcXML and char encodings

Thanks, this is helpful feedback at least.

I think it's completely irrelevant, when determining what is legal under 
standards, to talk about what certain Java tools happen to do though, I 
don't care too much what some tool you happen to use does.

In this case, I'm _writing_ the tools. I want to make them do 'the right 
thing', with some mix of what's actually official legally correct and 
what's practically useful.  What your Java tools do is more or less 
irrelevant to me. I certainly _could_ make my tool respect the Marc 
leader encoded in MarcXML over the XML decleration if I wanted to. I 
could even make it assume the data is Marc8 in XML, even though there's 
no XML charset type for it, if the leader says it's Marc8.

But do others agree that there is in fact no legal way to have Marc8 in 
MarcXML?

Do others agree that you can use non-UTF8 encodings in MarcXML, so long 
as they are legal XML?

I won't even ask someone to cite standards documents, because it's 
pretty clear that LC forgot to consider this when establishing MarcXML.  
(And I have no faith that one could get LC to make a call on this and 
publish it any time this century).

Has anyone seen any Marc8-encoded MarcXML in the wild? Is it common? How 
is it represented with regard to the XML leader and the Marc header?

Has anyone seen any MarcXML with char encodings that are neither Marc8 
nor UTF8 in the wild? Are they common? How are they represented with 
regard to XML leader and Marc header?

Re: [CODE4LIB] MarcXML and char encodings

2012-04-17 Thread Sheila M. Morrissey
In XML standard:

It is RECOMMENDED that character encodings registered (as charsets) 
with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority [IANA-CHARSETS], other than those 
just listed, be referred to usingtheir registered names; other encodings 
SHOULD use names starting with an "x-" prefix. XML processors SHOULD match 
character encoding names in a case-insensitive way and SHOULDeither 
interpret an IANA-registered name as the encoding registered at IANA for that 
name or treat it as unknown (processors are, of course, not required to support 
all IANA-  registered encodings).


As I suggested -- since MARC8 isn't (so far as I know) registered -- you won't 
get far with most standard tools, in whatever language -- you'll have to extend 
them to first recognize the encoding name, and second, decode the content.

Wait, how canyou declare a Marc8 encoding in an XML 
decleration/prolog/whatever it's called?

The things that appear there need to be from a specific list, and I 
didn't think Marc8 was on that list?

Can you give me an example?  And, if you happen to have it, link to XML 
standard that says this is legal?

Nope, you can't do that.  There is no approved name for the MARC-8
encoding.  As Andy said, the closest you could get would be to make up
an experimental name, like x-marc-8, but no tool in the world would
recognize that.
