Re: [CODE4LIB] linked archival metadata: a guidebook
Hi Eric-- Good luck! I'll be very interested to see how this shapes up. Best, Steve On Aug-12-2013 9:10 AM, Eric Lease Morgan wrote: This is the tiniest of introductions as a person who will be writing a text called Linked Archival Metadata: A Guidebook. The Guidebook will be the product of LiAM [0], and from the prospectus [1], the purpose of the Guidebook is to: provide archivists with an overview of the current linked data landscape, define basic concepts, identify practical strategies for adoption, and emphasize the tangible payoffs for archives implementing linked data. It will focus on clarifying why archives and archival users can benefit from linked data and will identify a graduated approach to applying linked data methods to archival description. To these ends I plan to write towards three audiences: 1) the layman who knows nothing about linked data, 2) the archivist who wants to make their content available as linked data but does not know how, and 3) the computer technologist who knows how to make linked data accessible but does not know about archival practices. Personally, I have been dabbling on and off with linked data and the Semantic Web for a number of years. I have also been deeply involved with a project called the Catholic Research Resources Alliance [2] whose content mostly comes from archives. I hope to marry these two sets of experiences into something that will be useful to cultural heritage institutions, especially archives. The Guidebook is intended to be manifested in both book (PDF) and wiki forms. The work begins now and is expected to be completed by March 2014. On my mark. Get set. Go. Wish me luck, and let’s see if we can build some community.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Interest in Toronto/GTA Meetup?
Just tell me when and where. =) Or if that sounds too passive I'd be happy to help with arrangements too. s On 12-04-23 9:48 AM, John Fink wrote: If anything would get me to come to Toronto willingly with a spring in my step, it'd be a Toronto/GTA C4L meetup.

Hi All, In light of seeing some of the other meetups going on, I thought cool, reminds me of the Web 2.0 meetups I used to have in Ottawa, I wondered why I hadn't heard of one in Toronto. I've been told there isn't one! However, before trying to organize one, I was wondering if there was interest in having a Toronto Meetup? Would be interested in what others think. -Cynthia -- Stephen Marks Digital Preservation Librarian Scholars Portal Ontario Council of University Libraries step...@scholarsportal.info 416.946.0300 Fearlessness is better than a faint heart for any man who puts his nose out of doors.

Re: [CODE4LIB] CONTENTdm xml to CrossRef xml
I'm not a big user of CONTENTdm, but I was interested in this question so I did a little bit of digging around. I didn't turn anything up, but would it be practical for your situation to approach it a different way and use the Custom XML export, as described here: http://www.contentdm.org/help6/collection-admin/exporting3.asp#custom The DataCite schema is pretty simplistic, so this might be a possibility. You'd probably still need to do a little massaging, but this might get you 90% of the way there. Unless I missed the point entirely, which is what usually happens. =) s On 12-03-08 11:59 AM, Medina-Smith, Andrea wrote: Hello, I've searched the listserv, but I haven't found anything on this.

Re: [CODE4LIB] CONTENTdm xml to CrossRef xml
Buh. I've got DataCite on the brain. Sorry for the irrelevant reply. Looks like the CrossRef schema is a bit more involved, but might be worth a shot still. s On 12-03-08 11:59 AM, Medina-Smith, Andrea wrote: Hello, I've searched the listserv, but I haven't found anything on this.
