[CODE4LIB] Using dbpedia to generate EAC-CPF collections

Hi all, In the last few weeks, I have undertaken a project of EAC-CPF stubs using dbpedia and VIAF data for the Roman emperors and their relations. There's a lot of great information available through dbpedia, and since it's available in RDF, I put together a PHP script that can start at one

Re: [CODE4LIB] Oral history app and server

Continuing on this part: My friend says that using any existing speech recognition software won't work at all well for transcribing interviews with a variety of people. All such software needs to be trained to the speaker's voice. A possible alternative is for a designated person to train the
