Hi,
Some time ago I opened a couple of pull requests on ruby-marc on GitHub, but
they seem to have gone unnoticed. I probably should have posted here at the
time, but never got around to it until now. Hopefully someone can have a look
at them and see if they could be included in the project.
I found the WorldCat Identities API useful for an institution name
disambiguation project that I worked on a few years ago, though my goal wasn't
to confirm whether names mapped to LCNAF. The API response includes a LCCN,
and you can set it to fuzzy or exact matching, but you would need to writ
Hello,
It's always painful to see other library's lib guides when they don't follow a
"style guide." I always thought that Librarians have the infrastructure and
theory to really help standardize information professions. Imagine if an MSLIS
was a requirement for Web Admin and Website creator jo
I would check with the developers of SNAC (
http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/), as they've spent a lot of time
developing named entity recognition scripts for personal and corporate
names. They might have something you can reuse.

I'm looking to reconcile about 40,000 corporate names against LCNAF to see
whether they are authorized strings or not, but I'm drawing a blank about how
to get it done.
I've used http://freeyourmetadata.org/ for reconciling subject headings before,
but I can't get it to work for LCNAF. Has anyo

I also think all of these ideas are awesome. The idea of a third-party
space, or even someplace sponsored by springshare, to share customizations
etc. could help so many of us. Even short of developing a plug-in system,
having someplace to share template customizations, CSS, etc. would be HUGE.

If we are talking about a set of _curated_ community plugins, Github (or any
of umpteen git platforms) would be fine. A Springshare person and/or
designated community persons could control the repos, approving pull
requests and managing releases and all that. A new release would be sent to

@Emily: In terms of outcomes I was thinking more along the lines of some
GitHub repos and something for collaborative docs, like a GitHub wiki or
Google Docs. AGist with a list of useful repos will do just fine.
