[CODE4LIB] Any web services that can help sort out this for me.
Hi, I have large amounts of data like this: Reece, P. L., (2006), Progress in Smart Materials and Structures, Nova Ghosh, S. K., (2008), Self-healing materials: fundamentals, design strategies and applications, Wiley A.Y.K. Chan, Biomedical Device Technology: Principles & Design, Charles C. Thomas, 2008. L.J. Street, Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Technology, CRC Press, 2007. ... one book per line. they are not in any order. I am lazy. So, is there a web service out there that I can throw this stuff at to organise it for me and ideally find the ISBNs. Long shot, I know. But thanks, David. -- David Kane Systems Librarian Waterford Institute of Technology Ireland http://library.wit.ie/ davidfk...@googlewave.com T: ++353.51302838 M: ++353.876693212

what definition of large list 10,100,1000,. yes google copy title part "Progress in Smart Materials and Structures" paste in google box press return first hit for the first line has the isbn, or you could script it and use the Open Library API and get the isbn back possibly Dave Caroline On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 9:59 AM, David Kane wrote: > Hi, I have large amounts of data like this: > > > Reece, P.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Any web services that can help sort out this for me.
Following on Dave's recommendation, you could also use Google Books' Data API [1]. Search for the book, get a structured ATOM feed as a response, presume the first hit is your book, and then follow the ATOM feed link for that books' metadata. It isn't going to be perfect; I'd be interested to know the end ratio of perfect versus missed matches.

You could do the same thing with the Worldcat API, if you're a member that can get a wskey.

Try the LibraryThing Title API. http://www.librarything.com/blogs/thingology/2006/08/introducing-the-thingtitle-api/ Tim
Re: [CODE4LIB] Any web services that can help sort out this for me.
I'd be concerned about bumping into limits or getting throttled using APIs mentioned so far. I'd be inclined to go for a mass data download, match as much as I could, and then if there's still more than would be appropriate for an API approach, throw fielded searches across a number of library catalogs since some of them can spit out pretty easy to parse results. BTW, what is the source of the data? That could point to the best way to get what you want. kyle On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 1:59 AM, David Kane wrote: > Hi, I have large amounts of data like this: > > > Reece, P.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Any web services that can help sort out this for me.
Actually, I'd be concerned using Google - it will block mechanised queries, and block "legitimate", human queries until the automated queries are shutdown. I'd expect any API worth it's salt would indicate how many queries per it will reasonably handle.

This isn't a web service, but if you've got a whole lot of them you can save time by using Excel to extract the title for you. I'd be happy to walk you through it if you want -- just contact me off-list. -Gwen On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 4:59 AM, David Kane wrote: > Hi, I have large amounts of data like this: > > > Reece, P.

Just to add to Gwens suggestion, you could also look at GridWorks: http://freebase-gridworks.blogspot.com/ http://code.google.com/p/freebase-gridworks/ I haven't tried it myself, but the demos were impressive...
