Subject: [CODE4LIB] Anyone have a list of exposed z39.50 endpoints?

We have a colleague looking into giving our Public Lending Rights system some 
TLC. This is the process we use to survey any library holdings and count any 
holdings by New Zealand authors/producers.

I was asked if I knew of any lists of exposed z39.50 endpoints that we could 
interrogate as part of our holdings survey.  I thought this might be something 
some of you have / could comment on.

We're interested in any library, public or private, and will happily take any 
suggests on or off list, especially if you know of any endpoints that are 
exposed but not specifically publicised.

Thanks in advance

[CODE4LIB] xEAC advanced beta / pre-production release ready for further testing

2014-08-29 Thread Ethan Gruber
Hi all,

xEAC (https://github.com/ewg118/xEAC), an open source, XForms-based
framework for the creation and publication of EAC-CPF records (for archival
authorities or scholarly prosopographies) is now ready for another round of
testing. While xEAC is still under development, it is essentially
production-ready for small-to-medium collections of authority records (less
than 100,000).

xEAC handles the majority of the elements in the EAC-CPF schema, with
particular focus on enhancing controlled vocabulary with external linked
open data systems and the semantic linking of relations between entities.
The following LOD lookup mechanisms are supported:

Geography: Geonames, LCNAF, Getty TGN, Pleiades Gazetteer of Ancient Places
Occupations/Functions: Getty AAT
Misc. linking and data import: VIAF, DBpedia, nomisma.org, and SNAC

xEAC supports transformation of EAC-CPF into a rudimentary form of three
different RDF models and posting data into an RDF triplestore by optionally
connecting the system to a SPARQL endpoint. Additionally, EADitor (
https://github.com/ewg118/eaditor), an open source framework for EAD
finding aid creation and publication can hook into a xEAC installation for
controlled vocabulary as well as posting to a triplestore, making it
possible to link archival authorities and content through LOD methodologies.

The recently released American Numismatic Society biographies (
http://numismatics.org/authorities/) and the new version of the archives (
http://numismatics.org/archives/) illustrate this architecture. For
example, the authority record for Edward T. Newell (
http://numismatics.org/authority/newell), contains a dynamically generated
list of archival resources (from a SPARQL query). This method is more
scalable and sustainable in the long run than using the EAC
resourceRelation element. Now that SPARQL has successfully been implemented
in xEAC, I will begin to integrate social network analysis interfaces into
the application.
