[CODE4LIB] ResourceSync libraries for Ruby

[David Moles]

As an outgrowth of Stash (https://wiki.ucop.edu/display/Stash/Stash+Home),
the UC Curation Center's in-progress next-gen platform for research
dataset self-deposit and discovery, I've written the following, which
might be of interest to anyone interested in working with ResourceSync in
Ruby:


  - resync, a Ruby gem providing an object mapping to and from
ResourceSync XML documents: https://github.com/CDLUC3/resync

  - resync-client, a gem that builds on resync to simplify traversing a
ResourceSync document tree and downloading resources from it:
https://github.com/CDLUC3/resync-client

Both gems are at about version 0.3 -- I'm not tinkering with them myself
at the moment and I would say the core APIs are pretty stable, but there's
plenty of room to add more convenience methods and so on, particularly on
the document creation side.

I hope folks find them of use -- comments, questions, bug and feature
reports are all welcome.

Best,
David

P.S. Apologies for cross-posting. Feel free to forward to anyone who you
think might be interested.

Subject: [VRACORE] VRA Core RDF Ontology Available for Review

 

A taskforce setup through the  
 VRA Core Oversight 
Committee (Core OC) has released an initial draft of a VRA Core RDF Ontology. 
The RDF Ontology is based on the Core 4.0 XML Schema and is available along 
with an XLST stylesheet that will convert VRA Core 4.0 compliant XML in RDF. 
Representing a VRA Core description in RDF allows for exposing rich VRA Core 
metadata as Linked Data, so that the descriptions may be widely shared and 
interact with other Linked Data resources on the Web, such as the ongoing 
project to release the   
Getty Vocabularies as linked open data. Together, these tools will allow 
museums, libraries and archives to increase exposure of their content online, 
allowing people to more easily find relevant images of cultural heritage 
objects, sites, and subjects.

 

The Ontology, XSLT conversion stylesheet as well as example records can be 
found on GitHub at the following link  
 
https://github.com/mixterj/VRA-RDF-Project). The Ontology can be viewed here 
 http://purl.org/vra/.

 

Comments and questions are welcomed. Please feel free to submit them over the 
VRA Core listserv, which you can join at this link  
 
http://listserv.loc.gov/listarch/vracore.html, on the GitHub repo page or email 
them directly to Jeff Mixter (  mixt...@oclc.org).
