Hi folks,
We have [possibly?] a record number of pre-conference proposals up on the
wiki -- 19 by my count. Yay for the awesomeness of you all!
We haven't crunched the numbers on morning vs. afternoon scheduling and the
number of rooms available quite yet, but it would be really, super duper

Obviously in the prototype phase, but it works. Only MODS is available for
now, and you can only select top-level elements (all child elements of the
top-level selections will be auto-generated). I will try to expand it to
I've had good luck using both the Data::Faker and Text::Lorem Perl modules to
generate large amounts (30k+ rows) of Archivists Toolkit test data. Other ports
of Data::Faker would probably work just as well, though it needs a bit more
code to more than generate more than name, address and
Nice! Are you going to put the code on GitHub (or some such place)? I'd

Sure. It's not a fancy reusable class or anything though--just a simple PHP

My first thought on this topic was: give the program an XML schema, and
generate possible documents with the correct datatypes etc. (Something
like that must exist somewhere, right?) Does it happen to work anything
like that, or is it hardcoded to generate these specific elements?

It's hard-coded to generate the specific elements. But your way sounds a lot
cleaner, so I might try to do that instead :) It will be more difficult
initially but much easier once I start implementing other metadata formats.

I checked out the Eclipse option and was not able to get much use out of it.
Maybe someone else will have better luck? It doesn't seem to align very well
with a library use case.

Back in 1999-2002 a handful of our theses were submitted as a collection of
xml files. We posted the files in our repository several years ago (we posted
a zipped folder with all the files). At that time, if you opened front.xml you
would be able to access the thesis. We have not touched the
DTDs and XML namespaces don't like each other very much. I think you're
getting into trouble because your DTD doesn't allow the two
namespace-declaring attributes on the thesis element. Try adding this to
your DTD:

I can't help wondering what the half-life of a radioactive MARC record is.
My guess is it is either really, really short or really, really long. ;-)

What's killing you is the ampersands. When these were encoded they contained
characters that hadn't been properly encoded as XML (mainly special linguistic
characters and non-breaking spaces). Definitely replace your :stylesheet with

Of course, the fly in the ointment here is that you still lose all of your
links, which you need for the document to work as intended. From what I can see
the original construction of the document relied upon the sloppiness of parsers

How did you fix the ampersands? I ask, because if you just did a simple

Each ampersand was in a special character, which would have to be replaced with
something. Most of them were in nonbreaking spaces or the enya in a particular

For my money, the text transform should look only for exact matches (e.g.,

counterparts.
