[CODE4LIB] Any web services that can help sort out this for me.
Hi, I have large amounts of data like this: yawn Reece, P. L., (2006), Progress in Smart Materials and Structures, Nova Ghosh, S. K., (2008), Self-healing materials: fundamentals, design strategies and applications, Wiley A.Y.K. Chan, Biomedical Device Technology: Principles Design, Charles C. Thomas, 2008. L.J. Street, Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Technology, CRC Press, 2007. /yawn ... one book per line. they are not in any order. I am lazy. So, is there a web service out there that I can throw this stuff at to organise it for me and ideally find the ISBNs. Long shot, I know.

what definition of large list 10,100,1000,. yes google copy title part Progress in Smart Materials and Structures paste in google box press return first hit for the first line has the isbn, or you could script it and use the Open Library API and get the isbn back possibly Dave Caroline On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 9:59 AM, David Kane dk...@wit.ie wrote: Hi, I have large amounts of data like this: yawn Reece, P.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Any web services that can help sort out this for me.
Following on Dave's recommendation, you could also use Google Books' Data API [1]. Search for the book, get a structured ATOM feed as a response, presume the first hit is your book, and then follow the ATOM feed link for that books' metadata. It isn't going to be perfect; I'd be interested to know the end ratio of perfect versus missed matches.

[CODE4LIB] active fedora interface
Hi all, I'm currently developing an interface to our fedora repository using the active-fedora RoR plugin. I'm doing this in Blacklight for starters, but not using the indexing capabilities since I don't know how to do that yet. I've built a simple form that creates a descriptive dublin core xml document for the object and now need to start expanding it with more fields. Before I start digging into that, has anyone done such a thing before and with whom I could compare notes before coding myself into a corner? I've cribbed a lot stuff from Matt Zumwalt's active fedora wiki and JWA fedora project. I've also looked at Hydrangea which is do for alpha release, I believe, at the OR conference in madrid. I didn't see anything like a dc form in Hydrangea but I didn't look very hard. Any help or comments would be welcome. thanks, ...adam Rock Roll: (noun) African American slang dating back to the early 20th Century.

Re: [CODE4LIB] dc xml with marc qualifiers
Adam: Dublin Core actually dealt with this about five years ago and has a section in its guidelines about the issue: http://dublincore.org/documents/usageguide/appendix_roles.shtml There has also been a fair amount of discussion on this on the id.loc.gov list, because LC has pulled down some of the original links as they've started putting more data on that site, and now there's really no record of the information they had set up during the time the work with them and DCMI was done. If it's of any interest, the RDA roles are built using this earlier work as a template, e.g., with the roles as properties, not attributes (http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/4.html). In any case, I'm thinking that your solution will be problematic, at a number of levels. It won't be standard DC, for one thing.

Re: [CODE4LIB] dc xml with marc qualifiers
Thanks, Diane. I was looking over those links as well but getting 502 Bad Gateway errors. Maybe that's because of what you were saying about LC pulling them down. I did re-read some examples from http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/marcrel-ex/ If I understand this correctly, and I use marc relators that sub-properties of existing dc fields, I could do something like: dc xmlns:dcterms='http://purl.org/dc/terms/' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' dcterms:creatorJane Creator/dcterms:creator marcrel:ILLJoe Illustrator/marcrel:ILL /dc Illustrator is defined as a sub-property of creator. Although the above document doesn't strike me as legal. Don't I need to define the marc relation in a namespace somewhere? Or does the marcrel get nested in the dcterms:creator element? Thanks in advance for the help... best, ...adam -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries on behalf of Diane I.
