[CODE4LIB] PICA+ to Vascoda Application Profile
Hi, has anybody out there some code which maps PICA+ Text or XML Formats to the (German) Vascoda Application Profile (http://www.dl-forum.de/dateien/vascoda_AP_2_0_2006-Dezember.pdf)? Especially something which builds on Jakob Voß' PICA::Record Perl Module would be great. Any help appreciated - kind regards, Joachim Neubert IT Development German National Library of Economics (ZBW) Leibniz Information Centre for Economics
[CODE4LIB] NEcode4lib: Thanks!
Hi folks, Big thanks to all who turned out for the 1st necode4lib gathering yesterday. Hope everybody got something useful, interesting and/or fun out of it. I for one thought it went great. We didn't do a real headcount, but it seemed we had just enough seats for the turnout: ~20-25 folks from as far away as Philly. Extra thanks to everyone who gave a talk on something: Jean, Tim, Courtney Chris, Jodi, Sand, Casey Michael. I'm looking forward to a blog post or two from those who took notes. --jay

Re: [CODE4LIB] ubuntu hardy and PEAR youtube module?
Bin,
The error message you provided isn't really very specific and I don't know
what your method useRest does specifically. So I'd recommend some basic
troubleshooting steps to start with.
First, I'd say you have one of two things going on: something changed that
broke your script or your script always had a defect and you hit some edge
case that manifested the defect. I don't mean to be Captian Obvious, but
sometimes when you are tracking a bug you forget the obvious stuff and start
taking drastic measures (like reverting back to an older version of Ubuntu.)
Or maybe that's just me.
1) Think about what changed. Did you get a new version of PHP with the
upgrade? What about curl? And how likely do you think it would be that
these changes would break your app (small, I'd think).
2) make sure the url you are giving curl is a valid one. You can simply do
this via the command line by using curlto access the url. Perhaps the
changes that borked stuff for you wasn't the version of Linux you were
running, but instead the uri of the RESTful service you are trying to hit.
Or maybe the service was down. Or maybe you had network problems. Can you
connect to the uri using methods other than curl?
3) Use the source. I don't know what is those methods you are calling are
trying to do. But look at the source code and check to see if perhaps you
are hitting some condition that was never seen before. That might equip you
to ask a more specific question if nothing else.

Re: [CODE4LIB] ubuntu hardy and PEAR youtube module?
It looks like curl isn't connecting to stuff right. Can you make a
page that just uses curl to get some other page and display it (or
your status code)?
If it's not working in a general sense... well, try curl from the
command line and see what happens. If there's no love there, you'll
need to talk you your sysadmin and figure out what's going on.

[CODE4LIB] JOB: RD Software Engineer, CrossRef, Oxford UK
A job opening at CrossRef: http://www.crossref.org/01company/job_opening.html Says an organization representative: Ideally, we'd like to get somebody who not only has excellent technical skills, but who also groks the scholarly publishing field- either from the publisher side or from the library side. This position would be a very cool opportunity for somebody who loves to wallow in metadata and wants to work on building cool scholarly tools. And, of course, one of the benefits of working for CrossRef is that, although we are non-profit, we are also very stable and our pay/benefits are competitive with the publishing industry's.
