Eric,
Have you had a look at Ed Chamberlain's work on COMET:
https://github.com/edchamberlain/COMET
It's been a while since I've run this, but if I remember correctly, it was
fairly "easy-to-use".
Also, though much older, I seem to remember the Simile MARC "RDFizer" being
a pretty straightforwar
I have to eat some crow, and I hope somebody here can give me some advice for
transforming MARC to RDF.
I am in the midst of writing a book describing the benefits of linked data for
archives. Archival metadata usually comes in two flavors: EAD and MARC. I found

I didn't think of it as putting a meaning on every row, just a header where a

I think you're right = I should just harvest the most important call number

Google Books API returns a JSON object that contains links to three or
four different image sizes. Also, regarding CSS, browsers seem to scale
the height down proportionally when you use CSS to modify the width.
As a side note about Google Books, the cover images seem to only be
available via HTTP
Yes, this seems to be the solution. But who will be the first to provide book
cover using that technology? Right now, I almost determine that I have to
select, crop, resize every single book cover image for my needs. - Kelly

This is going to be tricky. AFAIK, you can't modify the call number result

Dear Kelly et al:

A while ago, we had a discussion about book cover APIs. I tried some of those
mentioned and found they are working to some degree, but none of them would
offer the size I want. The flexibility of the size is just not there. The
size I am looking for is like this:

If the size you want is just a bit smaller than a size offered by a
service, you can simply deliver it in an HTML img tag that has it's size
set to what you want (with CSS is the best way), and it'll be more or
less fine.
You could also software on your end to resize the images to be somewhat

cynthia, I can't help you but I can encourage you -- honestly, the call
numbers alone (especially in LCC where the notation is not a strict
hierarchy) are close to useless without the meanings. One might even
make the meanings more visible than the call numbers themselves (bolder,
placed first)
If this is an official fact, in my opinion modularity and freedom in IT for
libraries are available only through open source software applications.
