[CODE4LIB] PREMIS question

2010-03-04 Thread Tim Shearer
Hi folks, Ignoring, for the moment, the utility of doing so...has anyone written (or does anyone know of) an xsl tranform from PREMIS to HTML? I'm finding PREMIS transforms, but nothing that produces output for consumption in a webpage. The idea is to let folks more easily parse the PREMIS

[CODE4LIB] find in page, diacritics, etc

2009-08-28 Thread Tim Shearer
Hi Folks, Looking for help/perspectives. Anyone got any clever solutions for allowing folks to find a word with diacritics in a rendered web page regardless of whether or not the user tries with or without diacritics. In indexes this is usually solved by indexing the word with and without,

2009-08-28 Thread Tim Shearer
Are you are referring to a find in page, where a user presses CTRL-F in the browser? Yes, sorry to be unclear. If so, it will depend on the browser. Google Chrome 2.0 will find matches regardless of the diacritics (i.e. user can type placa and it matches pla�a, and vice versa). This doesn't

Owen, Unless I'm misunderstanding, what's being asked for is a visualization tool for the *classification*. Faceted browsing by subject is dandy, but is not at all the same thing (though arguments can be made that the lines are blurring). Books that sit next to each other in a

Hi, One approach to the UI might be to use Cooliris (was piclens) and generate a media rss file in call number order. It's limited (to people who have installed cooliris) but it's essentially a coverflow. You can do other things within the browser, but few are going to feel as immediate

Hi All, It ain't free, but there's a lovely client for mysql called navicat (http://www.navicat.com/) that we've been using. And even though I *can* do command line queries, gotta say I love pulling lines between tables to set them up. It's not too expensive and I find that for light to

Hi Eric, Given the likely need to map back from an alternate name (string search in the definition?) to the auth name (maybe the most common use for such a service?), I think this route might be on the inefficient side. I've been wondering about names as handles, with a crossref-like middleman
