Hi Brian,
It is *awesome* to see the SNAC data being released with an open
license--and it's also really interesting to see the code for loading
it into neo4. How have you been liking neo4j so far? Is the neo4j
graph database something that you have been using in SNAC? Have you
been interacting

Tony Mattsson asked:
What I would want is a license that keeps the software free, and
that people has to make improvements availible. Any suggestions?
I feel that those two aims are incompatible: you cannot give people
freedom *and* require them to do a particular act.

How does a person go about exporting MARC records from a III system?
As you may or may not know, I spend a lot of my time developing a thing
colloquially called the Catholic Portal. It uses VUFind under the hood, and
it requires me to ingest bibliographic data from a myriad of libraries.
I can't answer for the Oracle-based III version, but in the proprietary (III
Classic as I call it) you can - if you have it installed - use a telnet client
to search for records, save the records to a file, and then FTP them to an
external server. That's how we're getting records out of our
Hey Eric,
Is this an Innovative system you have access to (at Notre Dame)? And do you
need to do this one time only, or does it need to be automated and ongoing?
If it's a system you have access to, and you only need it once, then you might
just have one of the staff there use the Millennium

3) Did they purchase the XML Server product [3] when it was available?
XML server is not required to get bib records in XML. This can simply be
enabled in WWWOPTIONS. XML Server is another product that contains
significant additional features, but any system can display certain record
types in
Using the OPAC interface it's possible to harvest binary marc records from
