Hello community,
is there a way, any statistical approach, that you are aware of that let's
say, allows one to have an idea of how complete a record is, or what are
the actions you take in order to have an idea of the quality of a record,
and eventually a database?
Thank you in advance
I'm curious, Karen, Ethan or anyone else, do you know of any examples of
libraries that have implemented schema.org or RDFa for hours data and have
noticed that Google or some other search engine has picked it up (i.e.,
correctly displaying that data as part of the search results)? And if so,
how
Hi,
I thought a lot about this question in the past, and my answer is:
yes, you can apply statistical formulas. But you should know well each
field of your record: what kind of information could they contain,
whether you could set rules about that which you can apply for the
individual records.
I think a key thing is to determine to what extent any definition of
'completeness' is actually a representation of 'quality'. As Peter says,
making sure not just that metadata is present but then checking it conforms
with rules is a big step towards this. I would also extend this to assessing
+1 on the RDFa and schema.org. For those that don't know the library URL
off-hand, it is much easier to find a library website by Googling than it
is to go through the central university portal, and the hours will show up
at the top of the page after having been harvested by search engines.

i felt i was missing something, since i could not find some general, most
used approach, and perhaps some code on github that implements these
quality measures...

Charlie, I don't know of any libraries that have used schema.org for
their web site - perhaps others do. If it is used, it should be picked
up the next time the search engines index the site. What the search
engines do with schema.org is not guaranteed, but can be observed. It is

The search engine may not pick it up quickly enough, but the emergency
services in the area could get it from the RDFa as soon as it hits the web.

I think both creating a one-off list and schema.org approaches pose

I don't think every library can necessarily implement the latter for a
variety of reasons, not always technical.
From the pov that a library can be a
I'd like to find out how and why Google is parsing this information. If you
go to the the SFPL hours page (first link in the Google results), and look
at the source code, this is all you find.
http://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=010101
Is the ID in the DIV sufficient? It would be nice to have a set
Right, but I don't think that meets any particular standard, which means
that Google is doing a lot of text analysis when it indexes pages,
looking for a pattern that looks like opening hours. That takes more
cycles than having it all neatly wrapped in some known RDFa.

I believe the objective, of the search engines, is to be able to provide
user useful functionality in both their Knowledge Graphs and on mobile
devices for all local businesses. I note now when I search for the local

Hi all,
I've been experimenting with schema.org OpeningHoursSpecification, and
currently Bing is scraping our hours, but Google isn't. I am using
RDFa-lite and I've validated it using a linter (thanks Jason Ronallo!), so
I'm scratching my head as to why our hours *still* don't show up on a

Hi Eddie,
AutoHotkey can probably do what you want to do. I am not familiar with the
Sierra interface, although I have successfully used AHK to automate
workflows in a variety of applications.
Here's an example of a subroutine with key commands that copy the contents
of a CONTENTdm text input
When I was at the Robert M Bird Library I put some basic schema.org on the
old site, but I didn't mark up the hours. That'll be a project for here as
well, once I get out from under some of what I'm working on now.

Tom, Google will not tell you. The entirety of how Google search works
is a trade secret. We don't know the algorithm for ranking, and we don't
know what information they glean from web pages -- and they are unlikely
to tell. It is a constant on the schema.org discussion list that

I'll second Bob's recommendation on that paper.
I've found the following paper to be an interesting read on the topic of
metadata quality and some of the ways that we could approach measuring it with
automation.

Here in .nz the national library runs a local aggregation service
http://digitalnz.org/ which has quite good penetration into schools
and so forth. It provides some metadata quality reports such as

Hi Eddie,
I'm not an autohotkey guru, but I just wanted to mention that when you are
invoicing in Sierra, you do have the option to print the bib/order record for
the item you are invoicing. I believe this would provide all of the
information you are looking for. Of course, it will also
This afternoon, I tried several different methods to print the order record
(and order bib) onto receipt paper. That works well--except that it cuts off
part of the of the order record note toward the bottom. (we'd prefer to use
receipt paper rather than regular computer paper--it's much faster

Google often draws data from OpenStreetMap. If one wanted to, one could
simply edit the Library information there and watch it get picked up rather
quickly.

I don't know if this could give it a nudge (because as discussed,
nobody knows how they work), but you can go into Google Maps (or

I generally find that Bing makes better use of RDFa/schema.org than
Google does.
