I agree that most Schema.org markup would be generated on the fly from a database, so I'm a bit unclear on what kind of "tool" we (OCLC) or someone else is being asked to develop. Perhaps someone could spell it out for this dense person? Thanks, Roy On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 12:02 PM, Karen Coyle

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question about OAI Harvesting via Perl

I'd have to agree. OAI-PMH is so simple that even as poor a programmer as I am was able to write my own data provider from scratch. Actually, not completely from scratch in one go. Basically I was able to tweak my existing database-driven web site to accept incoming verbs and parameters and respond

[CODE4LIB] Anyone working with iPython?

Our Wikipedian in Residence, Max Klein brought iPython [1] to my attention recently and even in just the little exploration I've done with it so far I'm quite impressed. Although you could call it "interactive Python" that doesn't begin to put across the full range of capabilities, as when I first

For my money, the text transform should look only for exact matches (e.g., "á", " ", "©") and replace them with their numeric counterparts. Roy On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 5:41 PM, jason bengtson wrote: > For testing purposes I just nixed them. As I noted, to rework the file a > person would probably

Re: [CODE4LIB] Lorem Ipsum metadata? Is there such a thing?

I can't help wondering what the half-life of a radioactive MARC record is. My guess is it is either really, really short or really, really long. ;-) Roy On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 1:39 PM, Peter Binkley wrote: > Years ago Bill Moen had a set of "radioactive" MARC records with unique > tokens in all

I would have to agree with this where the data exists. The data captured by digital cameras these days can be incredibly extensive and thorough. Given this, I recently started exposing this data for all of the 8,000 photos I now have on my photos web site http://FreeLargePhotos.com/ . There is now

Re: [CODE4LIB] Tab delimited file with Python CSV

Also, just to be clear, the data file is a tab-delimited text file, not a CSV (comma-separated quoted values) file. Whenever processing data it's important to be clear about what format you are working with. I happen to prefer tab-delimited text files over CSV myself, as in this case like in many o

I don't even have to fire it up. That's a statistic that we generate quarterly (albeit via Hadoop). Here you go: 100 - 30.3 245 - 103.1 600 - 41 610 - 48.8 611 - 61.4 630 - 40.8 648 - 23.8 650 - 35.1 651 - 39.6 653 - 33.3 654 - 38.1 655 - 22.5 656 - 30.6 657 - 27.4 658 - 30.7 662 - 41.7 Roy On
