Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention again to the eco4r workshop.
The eco4r project (http://www.eco4r.org) aims to be a proof of existing
concepts and standards (e.g. OAI-ORE, METS) for the exposure,
exchangeability and reusability of
I have written a couple of blog postings as well as bunches o' hacks
surrounding VUFind, EAD files, harvesting content, and text mining that may be
of interest to us coders:
1. EAD files - The first posting and set of Perl scripts describes how I am
currently indexing MARC records, but more
I use Python and Django extensively, and think they're both great. That said,

DjangoCon 2008, titled Why I Hate Django, which is on YouTube:

commitment to a particular storage model, and is fast in standalone
use, without requiring extra scaffolding

What's wrong with the library world developing its own domain language? From
scratch. I mean not something like MARC that is just a static container for
stuff, but a language that actually does something such as manipulating
semantic maps or some such? It's not like things like PHP or Python

We're already in a world of pain because we have our own data formats and
