[CODE4LIB] Using XML in Libraries -- Still time to register
Posting for a colleague - please excuse cross-postings. There is still time to register for the “Transforming Library Metadata with XSLT” workshop sponsored and hosted by the Association of Research Libraries. The deadline for registration is April 20. Transforming Library Metadata with XSLT May 20–22, 2015, in Washington, DC (see http://www.arl.org/events/upcoming-events/event/133#.VJL6HUAFMAA for more information and registration) Taught by experienced XML/XSLT instructors and developers Matthew Gibson, director of digital initiatives at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities at the University of Virginia, and Christine Ruotolo, digital services manager for humanities and social sciences at the University of Virginia Library, this three-day workshop will explore XSLT with a specific focus on the role of XSLT in digital library projects and an emphasis on practical tasks such as metadata crosswalking. The workshop will be a mix of lecture and hands-on demonstration and experimentation. Lectures, exercises, and projects will allow participants to gain experience using some of the more powerful components of XSLT, including: Navigating the XML tree with XPath 2.0 Working with recursion, modes, and named templates Using and creating functions Combining source documents and creating multiple result documents Sorting and grouping data Using branching and control structures This workshop is designed for information professionals who have a good understanding of XML and work with it frequently. While some understanding of and experience with XSLT is a plus, this is not a requirement. If you have any questions about the content of the workshop, feel free to email myself (mgib...@virginia.edu) or Chris Ruotolo (cj...@virginia.edu). If you have questions about workshop logistics, schedule, etc. please contact Angela Pappalardo at ang...@arl.org.

[CODE4LIB] Call for participation: Digital humanities projects table at ALA midwinter 2010
Second call: please note extended deadline. The Association for Computers in the Humanities will be sponsoring an exhibit table on Digital Humanities Publication at the 2010 American Library Association midwinter meeting (January 15-18, 2010). We are seeking expressions of interest from interested digital humanities projects and publications who would like to have a presence at the ALA meeting but cannot afford an exhibit space on their own. This is an excellent opportunity to present your project to a very wide audience, and to participate in the ALA exhibit at low cost and with simple logistics. (Those who have been exhibitors at ALA before will know how much that is worth!) We hope the exhibit will be a showcase for diverse and important digital humanities work and publications. The total costs of the table (which is a small press table) will be approximately $3000 (including internet and other services). These costs will be shared among the participating exhibitors based on level of presence (how much exhibit time you would like), project size, and ability to pay. The exhibit runs for three full days, and the table can accommodate two or three projects at a time, so in principle we have about 12-18 half-day slots, but we can also allocate time in other ways, depending on need. In addition, participants may leave brochures and other materials at the table for distribution. We expect to have someone staffing the booth at all times who will be able to answer general questions about ACH, digital humanities, and the projects being exhibited. We will also have at least one computer at the table at all times with links to all participating projects. If you are interested in participating, please send email to julia_fland...@brown.edu with the following information, by September 15, 2009: --The name of your project and a brief description of what you would be exhibiting --How much time would your project be able to have someone present at the table? (e.g. a half day, two full days, etc.) --What date(s) would you be interested in attending? (please indicate any specific constraints) Members of the ACH executive council will review the applications. Once we have an initial sense of the level of interest, we will contact applicants (by the end of September) to determine what the cost will be and give applicants an opportunity to confirm their participation. Best wishes, Julia Julia Flanders President, ACH Director, Women Writers Project Brown University
Re: [CODE4LIB] MIME Type for MARC, Mods, etc.?
Not sure about the binary MARC, but all flavors of xml should be typed to either text/xml or application/xml, yes? patrick On 2/4/09 10:47 AM, Jonathan Rochkind rochk...@jhu.edu wrote: I am actually rather shocked that it seems that MARC-XML, MODS, MARC21-binary, do not have registered Internet Content Types (aka MIME types). Am I missing something, or is this really so? Anyone know what the process is for registering such? Anyone want to help try to do that? I guess we'd probably have to talk to the standards organizations for each of those types, rather than doing it independently? Jonathan
