Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving a wiki
Many organizations are using Archive-It, the Internet Archive's service for harvesting and preserving specific websites. I think it can be used to produce public or private archives. http://www.archive-it.org/ Keith On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 5:04 PM, Carol Hassler carol.hass...@wicourts.gov wrote: My organization would like to archive/export our internal wiki in some kind of end-user friendly format.

[CODE4LIB] A harvesting question
Hi dear list, Can anyone give me an example of harvesting PubMed publications from a specific institution to DSpace? Could you help me to configure the harvesting setting under Collection-Harvesting-Content Source in DSpace: Content source: This collection harvests its content from an external source. OAI Provider:__?? (PubMed) OAI Set id: Specific sets_?? (for a specific institution) Metadata Format: Simple Dublin Core [or] DSpace Intermediate Metadata Content being harvested: Harvest metadata and bitstreams (requires ORE support) By the way, we've been downloading xml data directly from the PubMed website and transform it to DCXML using some local VBscript. Then we export the DCXML file to Excel, transform Excel to SIP packages using BloomaMohan's program. We add several additional fields to the data set and do quite some editing in the Excel file. I have been wondering whether the DSpace built-in harvesting will be a much better option. Thank you for any idea or help! Sophie

[CODE4LIB] MARC Magic for file
I finally had occasion today (read: remembered) to see if the *nix file command would recognize a MARC record file. I haven't tested extensively, but it did identify the file as MARC21 Bibliographic record. It also correctly identified a MARC21 Authority Record. I'm running the most recent version of Ubuntu (12.04 - precise pangolin). I write because the inclusion of a file MARC21 specification rule in the magic.db stems from a Code4lib exchange that started in March 2011 [1] (it ends in April if you want to go crawling for the entire thread).

Re: [CODE4LIB] MARC Magic for file
I have become recently unpleasantly aquainted with the world of Marc that is not Marc21, but is ISO 2709. What'll it do on ISO 2709? I might be able to dig up an example. I wonder if it'll claim it's Marc21 (not), or if it's Marc21 Non-confirming (no, it's not quite that either. It's ISO-2709 MARC that's not Marc21). If it just doens't know anything about it and says 'data', that's just fine, if it knows about Marc21 but not non-Marc21 ISO 2709.

A couple of warnings about the unix file command (a) it only looks at the start of the file. This is great because it works fast on big files. This is dreadful because it can't warn you that everything after the first 10k of a 2GB file is corrupt or a 1k MARC file is pre-pended to a 400GB astronomy data file. (b) it is not uncommon for a file to match multiple file types. This can cause problems when using file to check whether inputs to a program are actually the type the program is expecting. (c) some platforms have been notoriously slow to add new definitions, ubuntu is not such a platform. cheers stuart -- Stuart Yeates Library Technology Services http://www.victoria.ac.nz/library/

Don't know what to say. Crawling through the source for file at [1], the pattern matching code as in place as of Sept 2011. It could be present earlier than Sept 2011, but I stopped hunting for it.
