Re: [CODE4LIB] Looking for two coders to help with discoverability of videos
Hi Kelley, Thanks for posting this. When I began work on jobs.code4lib.org I was hoping it would encourage people to post short term contracts. The thought being that it may be easier for some institutions to find money for projects than full-time staff, and it could encourage more open source collaboration between organizations, similar to what the Hydra Project are doing. So, I added your post to jobs.code4lib.org [1]. Ordinarily the person who publishes a job posting is the only one who can edit it. But if you would like to make any changes to it please let me know and I’ll make you the editor. Incidentally I was curious about your decision to hire two programmers to do what appears to be a very similar task. Was your intent to have two implementations to compare to see which you liked better? Were the two developers supposed to work together or separately? //Ed [1] http://jobs.code4lib.org/job/10658/ On Nov 11, 2013, at 10:58 PM, Kelley McGrath kell...@uoregon.edu wrote: I have a small amount of money to work with and am looking for two people to help with extracting data from MARC records as described below.

Re: [CODE4LIB] mass convert jpeg to pdf
Just thought I might plug some software we're developing to solve the book image navigation misery that Kyle mentions. http://ddmal.music.mcgill.ca/diva/ and a demo: http://ddmal.music.mcgill.ca/newdiva/demo/single.html We developed it because we were frustrated with the image gallery paradigm for book image viewing, and wanted something more like Google Books' viewer, but with access to the highest resolution possible. We also were frustrated with having to download large PDFs to just view a couple pages. Diva uses IIP on the back-end to serve out image tiles, so you're only ever downloading the part of the image that's viewable -- the rest is auto-loaded as the user scrolls. We've used it to display a manuscript that's ~80GB (total), with each image around 200MB. http://coltrane.music.mcgill.ca/salzinnes/experiments/diva-cci-tif/ It's also got a couple other neat features, like in-browser brightness/contrast/rotation adjustments via canvas.

Re: [CODE4LIB] mapping LCSH from book records to shNNNN codes?
Dan, You can look up an LCSH term for it's URI using: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/label/[known lcsh term] You are right that not all precoordinated strings are in LCSH, but you can try each one separately: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/label/Social%20sciences http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/label/Statistical%20methods http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/label/Data%20processing Don't forget url encoding.

Hi, I'm interested in mapping the LCSH topics described in Library of Congress book records to the predefined headings LCSH thesaurus defined at http://id.loc.gov. For example, the MODS version of the LoC record for isbn 1606238760 contains this LCSH info: subject authority=lcsh topicSocial sciences/topic topicStatistical methods/topic topicData processing/topic /subject ... which maps neatly to sh2010113695 (Social sciences--Statistical methods--Data processing) (see http://id.loc.gov/search/?q=Social+sciences--Statistical+methods--Data+processingq=) However, not all topics map to a single sh code (multiple sh's with the same description), and some topics have no sh code at id.loc.gov (e.g. Discourse analysis--Research, even though Discourse analysis exists) Is there a way to retrieve the sh codes directly for a book record? I'm currently using the LoC SRU (search/retrieval via URL) service, but it only serves verbose, textual topics that must be mapped separately to a sh code (when possible) Thanks, Dan

[CODE4LIB] Call for Proposals: Open Repositories Conference, June 9-13, Helsinki
The Ninth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2014, will be held 9-13 June 2014 in Helsinki, Finland. The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: *Towards Repository Ecosystems* Repository systems are but one part of the ecosystem in 21st century research, and it is increasingly clear that no single repository will serve as the sole resource for its community. How can repositories best be positioned to offer complementary services in a network that includes research data management systems, institutional and discipline repositories, publishers, and the open Web? When should service providers build to fill identified niches, and where should they connect with related services? How might these networks offer services to support organizations that lack the resources to build their own, or researchers seeking to optimize their domain workflows? Examining how repositories best integrate into the holistic research flow; exploring ties between domain-specific repositories and institutional repositories; and understanding durable content strategies outside of traditional repository environments are the central themes of the Open Repositories 2014 conference. We welcome proposals on these themes, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We're particularly interested in hearing about: * Unconventional approaches to repository-like services * Interconnection between publishers and repositories * Researcher-centered design for scholarly workflows * Adaptations to support curation lifecycle management, e.g., for research data * Real-world scalability and performance stories: working at web-scale, with big data for global usage * Requirements for holding restricted or classified data in repositories * Infrastructure to accommodate national and international mandates for data management and open access * Positioning repositories closer to (local, consortial, or cloud-based) cyberinfrastructure for data processing * Leveraging connections to external services including: * Remote identifier services (e.g., DOI, ORCID) * (Re-)using repository data/metadata in new and unexpected ways, including integrated discovery * Scholarly social media services, such as for annotation, review, comment, reputation, citation, and altmetrics * CRIS and research management systems * Digital preservation tools, services infrastructure * Community and sustainability in an open world KEY DATES • 3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions • 4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference • 17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups • 9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS *Conference Papers and Panels* We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference’s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation. *Interest Group Presentations* One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, and Fedora) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. *24x7 Presentation Proposals* We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. *Repository Rants 24x7 Block*. One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around repository rants: brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. *Posters, Demos and Developer How-To's* We invite developers, researchers, repository managers,

Re: [CODE4LIB] Looking for two coders to help with discoverability of videos
Hi Kelley, I might be able to help in your search. I'm in the process of starting a website that connects academic researchers with volunteer software developers. I'm looking for people to post programming projects on the website once it's launched in late January. I realize that may be a little late for you, but perhaps the project you mentioned in your PS (clustering based on title, name, date ect.) would be perfect? The one caveat is that the website is targeting software developers who wish to volunteer. Anyway, if you're interested in posting, please send me an e-mail at sciencesolved2...@gmail.comI would greatly appreciate it. Oh and of course it would be free to post :) Best of luck in your hiring process, Heather Claxton-Douglas On Mon, Nov 11, 2013 at 9:58 PM, Kelley McGrath kell...@uoregon.edu wrote: I have a small amount of money to work with and am looking for two people to help with extracting data from MARC records as described below. This is part of a larger project to develop a FRBR-based data store and discovery interface for moving images. Our previous work includes a consideration of the feasibility of the project from a cataloging perspective ( http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/?q=node/27), a prototype end-user interface (https://blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/, https://blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/page/about) and a web form to crowdsource the parsing of movie credits ( http://olac-annotator.org/#/about). Planned work period: six months beginning around the second week of December (I can be somewhat flexible on the dates if you want to wait and start after the New Year) Payment: flat sum of $2500 upon completion of the work Required skills and knowledge: * Familiarity with the MARC 21 bibliographic format * Familiarity with Natural Language Processing concepts (or willingness to learn) * Experience with Java, Python, and/or Ruby programming languages Description of work: Use language and text processing tools and provided strategies to write code to extract and normalize data in existing MARC bibliographic records for moving images. Refine code based on feedback from analysis of results obtained with a sample dataset. Data to be extracted: Tasks for Position 1: Titles (including the main title of the video, uniform titles, variant titles, series titles, television program titles and titles of contents) Authors and titles of related works on which an adaptation is based Duration Color Sound vs. silent Tasks for Position 2: Format (DVD, VHS, film, online, etc.) Original language Country of production Aspect ratio Flag for whether a record represents multiple works or not We have already done some work with dates, names and roles and have a framework to work in. I have the basic logic for the data extraction processes, but expect to need some iteration to refine these strategies. To apply please send me an email at kelleym@uoregon explaining why you are interested in this project, what relevant experience you would bring and any other reasons why I should hire you. If you have a preference for position 1 or 2, let me know (it's not necessary to have a preference). The deadline for applications is Monday, December 2, 2013. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Kelley PS In the near future, I will also be looking for someone to help with work clustering based on title, name, date and identifier data from MARC records. This will not involve any direct interaction with MARC. Kelley McGrath Metadata Management Librarian University of Oregon Libraries 541-346-8232 kell...@uoregon.edu
