Ed, thanks for the pointer to this. It does indeed look to be something libraries should get involved with. Using SKOS, conceptual resources can be identified using URIs, labeled with lexical strings in one or more natural languages,documented with various types of note, linked to each other and

[CODE4LIB] Social Activities for Code4Lib 2008

2008-02-01 Thread Jonathan Gorman
Hi all, I thought I'd give a brief update on how social activities are going for Code4Lib 2008. I'm posting to the general list because it doesn't seem everyone's on the code4libcon list. (Of course, I believe that list is primarily for volunteers and planning, so that's not surprising). Ri

I haven't used Castor for mixed content, but obviously, mixed content is more difficult to map to Java types, even if you have a schema. I probably wouldn't use Castor in those situations. Otherwise, it - or a tool like it that can map schemata to Java types for automatic parsing, generation, and v

Can someone point me to some normative examples of the use of extensions to Atom feeds? For a good time I would like to create a purely REST-ful Web interface to MyLibrary. I plan to start out easy and only support read (HTTP GET) operations. MyLibrary is essentially made up of four objects: info
