Re: [CODE4LIB] XSLT Advice
Cool. I talked to Ron via phone so I am getting a better picture, but I am still happy to take more insights. So the larger context. I inherited a DSpace instance with three custom metadata fields which actually have some useful publication information, though they improperly titled them in by associating them with a dc prefix but there were two many to fix quickly and they haven't broken DSpace yet so we continue. So I added to the XSL to pull the data within the the custom fields to display publication name Vol. publication volume Issue publication issue. That worked really well until I realized that there was no conditional so even when the fields are empty I still get: dc:identifierVol. Issue/dc:identifier So here are the Custom Metadata fields: dc.publication.issue dc.publication.name dc.publication.volume Here is the customized XSLT, with dc.identifier added for context of what the rest of the sheet looks like. !-- dc.identifier -- xsl:for-each select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='identifier']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value'] dc:identifierxsl:value-of select=. //dc:identifier /xsl:for-each !-- dc.identifier.* -- xsl:for-each select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='identifier']/doc:element/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value'] dc:identifierxsl:value-of select=. //dc:identifier /xsl:for-each !-- dc.publication fields to dc.identifier -- dc:identifierxsl:value-of select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='name']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/xsl:text Vol. /xsl:textxsl:value-of select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='volume']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/xsl:text Issue /xsl:textxsl:value-of select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='issue']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']//dc:identifier Ron suggested that using choose and when and that does seem to make the most sense. The other trickiness is that I have found that some of these fields as filled when others are blank, such as their being a volume but not an issue.

Re: [CODE4LIB] XSLT Advice
After wrapping the entire sequence with xsl:for-each select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc'], perhaps another option is to wrap the entire dc.publication fields to dc.identifier in a for-each for doc:element[@name='publication'], create string variables for the values instead of using xsl:text so you can use concat(), then nest if-then-else for these scenarios: If the volume element is not equal to empty then... If the issue element is not equal to empty then return publication name Vol. publication volume Issue publication issue Else (if the issue element is equal to empty) return publication name Vol. publication volume Else (if the volume element is equal to empty)... If the issue element is not equal to empty then return publication name Issue publication issue Else (if the issue element is equal to empty) return publication name Vol. I don't have the source metadata to test this, but hopefully this is enough to get the idea. xsl:template match=/ xsl:for-each select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc'] !-- dc.identifier -- xsl:for-each select=doc:element[@name='identifier']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value'] dc:identifier xsl:value-of select=./ /dc:identifier /xsl:for-each !-- dc.publication fields to dc.identifier -- xsl:for-each select=doc:element[@name='publication'] xsl:variable name=pub_name as=xs:string select=doc:element[@name='name']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/ xsl:variable name=pub_vol as=xs:string select=doc:element[@name='volume']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/ xsl:variable name=pub_issue as=xs:string select=doc:element[@name='issue']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/ dc:identifier xsl:value-of select= if (doc:element[@name='volume']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value'] ne '') then if (doc:element[@name='issue']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value'] ne '') then concat($pub_name,' Vol. ', $pub_vol,' Issue ', $pub_issue) else concat($pub_name,' Vol. ', $pub_vol) else if (doc:element[@name='issue']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value'] ne '') then concat($pub_name,' Issue ', $pub_issue) else $pub_name / /dc:identifier /xsl:for-each /xsl:for-each /xsl:template Hope this helps, Annie Margaret “Annie” Glerum Head of Complex Cataloging Department of Cataloging Description Division of Special Collections Archives Florida State University Libraries 850-644-4839 agle...@fsu.edu -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Ethan Gruber Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2015 3:44 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] XSLT Advice You really just need to wrap the label in the xsl:text and the xsl:value of in an xsl:if that tests whether the value-of XPath returns a string. dc:identifierxsl:value-of select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='name']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/ xsl:if test=string(doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='volume']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']) xsl:text Vol. /xsl:textxsl:value-of select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='volume']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/ /xsl:if xsl:if test=string(doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='issue']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']) xsl:text Issue /xsl:textxsl:value-of select=doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='publication']/doc:element[@name='issue']/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']/ /xsl:if /dc:identifier If there's no name at all, you'd want to wrap an xsl:if around the dc:identifier so that you suppress an empty dc:identifier element.

Re: [CODE4LIB] LC classifications in structured format?
thanks for the responses - queries against 5 classes _are_ possible using the linked data search interface, but no bulk download is available (I asked and was told no by Mark Trail of LC, and that the original MARC data is tied up in cost recovery statutes). LCC is also browsable and searchable via the Classification Web service, but no downloads. I'm hoping that someone has done this slog and has made it available. If I wind up doing it all (I began with just two letters), I *will* make it freely available!
[CODE4LIB] LC classifications in structured format?
Hello, I'm trying to locate a downloadable copy of the LC Classifications (LCC) in a structured format that expresses the hierarchy - SKOS, thesaurus, XML, whatever - in order to study its spatial and temporal content. I've located a tab-delimited copy and have began encoding parent-child relations, but it's very time-consuming (https://archive.org/details/LcClassificationA-z). The LC linked data group has a search interface to a few classes, but it's a download of the whole thing I'm after and they say it's not available. Seems like it should be, being government-funded and all... Any ideas? thanks Karl _ Karl Grossner Stanford University Libraries

Re: [CODE4LIB] hathitrust research center workset browser [github]
I believe I have created a repository of my HTRC Workset Browser code (shell and Python scripts) on GitHub. [1] From the Quick Start section of the README: 1. Download the software putting the bin and etc directories in the same directory. 2. Change to the directory where the bin and etc directories have been saved. 3. Build a collection by issuing the following command: ./bin/build-corpus.sh thoreau etc/rsync-thoreau.sh If all goes well, the Browser will create a new directory named thoreau, rsync a bunch o' JSON files from the HathiTrust to your computer, index the JSON files, do some textual analysis against the corpus, create a simple database (catalog), and create a few more reports. You can then peruse the files in the newly created thoreau directory. If this worked, then repeat the process for the other rsync files found in the etc directory. Probably the first issue people will have is the path to their version of Python. (Sigh.) [1] repository - https://github.com/ericleasemorgan/HTRC-Workset-Browser — Eric “Git Ignorant” Morgan

[CODE4LIB] Job: Space/Time Directory Engineer at New York Public Library
Space/Time Directory Engineer New York Public Library New York City The New York Public Library is seeking a uniquely qualified individual to join its digital RD team, NYPL Labs (labs.nypl.org), in the service of building a historical geospatial data platform for New York City. This project, The New York City Space/Time Directory (http://spacetime.nypl.org), fuses The Library's collection of maps and historical data with the latest in web mapping technology in order to make them available to the public as a service. (This also taps into our love for time travel metaphors.) Do you want to change how libraries and other public institutions engage with civic tech, how the public interacts with history, and to give New Yorkers a ubiquitous connection to their city's past? Are you interested in contributing to a major public knowledge project that could serve as a model for other cities? If your answer is an enthusiastic yes -- and you care about collaboration, curiosity, technical excellence, and continuous improvements -- NYPL Labs is the right place for you. Responsibilities: The Job: You'll be designing and building the architecture and infrastructure for a historical geospatial web service. It will look an awful lot like a modern geospatial web service (and may share a lot of the same tools and code). You'll be using the same processes used for making a modern service such as OpenStreetMap while also applying conflation processes to NYPL's historical collections and crowdsourced data. Note: You won't be starting from scratch. Over the past few years, NYPL has developed a workflow for digitizing and geo-rectifying historical maps, and for mining building-level vector data through computational process and crowdsourcing. We've even prototyped a historical gazetteer. We need your help to build upon these foundations to create a true open source, open access search of New York's historical places. You will join NYPL Labs' Product and RD Group, the band of artists, designers, and technologists behind Building Inspector (http://buildinginspector.nypl.org/), NYPL Digital Collections (http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/), The Stereogranimator (http://stereo.nypl.org/), and more. You'll be working hand-in-hand with NYPL's Geospatial Librarian, Labs' Director, our Interaction Lead, our Metadata team, and a host of other collaborators, internal and external, to craft and build the Space/Time Directory. As Space/Time Directory Engineer, you will: * Build a backend spatial database system supporting the integration of heterogeneous historical and contemporary datasets * Design a system to disambiguate, confirm and confer the connections between places and spaces over time using a combination of expert knowledge, crowdsourcing, and consensus computation * Design data contribution channels and remediation tools for librarians, archivists, domain experts and members of the public * Build easy-to-use and well documented APIs * Design and publish reproducible tools, software, and workflows to allow the flourishing of other Space/Time Directories to public, open access repositories * Communicate your work to the world through blogging, conferences, and hack events and workshops hosted by NYPL Labs * Advocate and facilitate a broader public conversation around this project and and how it fits into the new definition of what libraries can be Your office will be NYPL's flagship library and architectural landmark, the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 42nd St. (also known as The One With The Lions, or The Library From Ghostbusters). The work is on a roughly 9-5 schedule (flexible), with periodic evening engagement activities, a bit of travel, and the very occasional weekend commitment. But we take the life/work balance very seriously, and the Library provides and excellent benefits and vacation package. It's a great place to work. This position is supported by a generous grant from the Knight Foundation (https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/feedback/nyc-space-time- directory-community-driven-urban-history-with-the-ease-of-google-maps) and is guaranteed for two years. There is a strong desire to continue the project beyond that, and the Library has a track record of moving grant-incubated projects into core operations. Qualifications: * Comfortable building a large, scalable data infrastructure * Extensive expertise in web back-end technologies such as Python, Ruby, PHP, or Node.js, Go * Experience collaborating closely with front-end developers and designers * Appetite for engagement with a community of contributors, technical and nontechnical alike, beyond the institution's walls * Ability to write excellent prose as well as code * Aptitude for learning and teaching new technologies * Comfortable in both collaborative and self-directed environments Bonus Points: * Contributor on a large open-source project * Experience working

[CODE4LIB] Migrating a Yahoo group's messages?
All, I belong to a listserv that, unfortunately when it was established back in 2007, was set up as a yahoo group. m looking for a way to archive the group's email and move it to another platform, something that will be searchable and will NOT be a yahoo group. Has anyone here ever had to do something like this? This group was Neo-izedhttp://yahoogroupedia.pbworks.com/w/page/68466246/Yahoo%20Groups%20Neo#History along with the others back in 2013 and Im having trouble finding any tools to export the messages. There seems to be a solutionhttp://www.personalgroupware.com/ but this software dumps the messages into a proprietary data base that can't be read any other way. There is another perl scripthttp://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Yahoo!_Groups that looks good, but may not work with the newer style of yahoo group.
