Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Juice - thoughts?

[Tillman, Ruth K. (GSFC-272.0)[CADENCE GROUP ASSOC]]

I didn't take the entire series, but Robert Chavez was a good instructor for 
the SPARQL courses. I came in knowing most of the basics of SPARQL, but the 
SPARQL 2 course was extremely helpful for seeing what more could be done with 
SPARQL/linked data in general.

I also found the PHP/APIs one with Caleb Tucker-Raymond quite useful, though I 
knew a good deal about PHP beforehand so I can't say how that course would be 
to those without that background. The course was what I needed to put together 
two things I was already pretty familiar with.

I've taken a number of courses with Library Juice and had really good learning 
experiences.

The series on XML and RDF based systems is excellent:

http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-xml-rdf.php

As are the courses on metadata design and implementation:

http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/105-metadata-design.php
http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/106-metadata-implementation.php

The time commitment is substantial, but the instructors have been very flexible 
about turning in assignments after the deadlines.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Dspace and HASSET SKOS Thesaurus scripts

Hello, Penelope

The DSpace community actually runs a Google Group which is quite

transitioned recently to Google.

Good luck!
