[CODE4LIB] Randy Fischer....................................VACATION MISFORTUNE
Hello, This message may be coming to you as a surprise but I need your help.Few days back we made an unannounced vacation trip to London,UK .Everything was going fine until last night when we were mugged on our way back to the hotel.They Stole all our cash,credit cards and cellphone but thank God we still have our lives and passport.Another shocking is that the hotel manager has been unhelpful to us for reasons i don't know. I'm writing you from a local library cybercafe..I've reported to the police and after writing down some statements that's the last i had from them.i contacted the consulate and all i keep hearing is they will get back to me. i need your help ..i need you to help me out with a loan to settle my bills here so we can get back home, our return flight leaves soon. I'll refund the money as soon as i get back. All i need is $1,650 ..Let me know if you can get me the money then I tell you how to get it to me. I'm freaked out at the moment Randy
[CODE4LIB] SWIB11 deadline extended to June 30th (Semantic Web in Libraries)
Due to several requests the submission deadline to the third conference Semantic Web in Libraries (SWIB), 28.-30.11.2011 in Hamburg has been extended to June, 30th 2011. Here, once again, the call for proposals: After the success of the Semantic Web in Libraries (SWIB) events in 2009 and 2010, the SWIB11 will take place in Hamburg from 28 to 30 November 2011. The conference will again be organised by the North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz), Cologne, and the German National Library of Economics - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics (ZBW), Kiel and Hamburg. A rising number of actors in librarianship and its related fields are experimenting with Semantic Web technologies and Linked Open Data (LOD). The LOD cloud as a whole grew by 300% in 2010, whereas the amount of data relevant for libraries grew by nearly 1000%. The W3C has created a Linked Library Data group to observe this development, whose first report is due to be published in August. The Semantic Web Special Interest Group established by IFLA shows that this topic has shown up on their radar as well. At the same time, the principles and workflows of traditional scientific communication and publication are under scrutiny with a view to a consistently web-based data and service infrastructure comprising the entire research and publication process. Concepts like nano-publications, Semantic Publishing, Open Data, Enhanced Publications or Research Objects mark the re-orientation of academic work, away from monolithic, comparatively unflexible and barely interlinked reference points towards a distributed, comparatively granular data infrastructure which is continuously accessible to researchers and into which their contributions recognizably return. These are the questions and topics which we would like to discuss with you at the conference: * How do I find my way around the LOD cloud and how do I achieve maximum visibility for my assets? * How do we produce useful links to and between newly published datasets? * Where do we find best practice examples for LOD-based applications which show the added value created by linking assets, in particular domain-overlapping assets? * What are the trends in scholarly communication? What are the consequences of the transformation of traditional research and publication processes for libraries and what are the opportunities Linked Open Data can offer here? * Library Authority Files and their potential as LOD for library applications or research information systems * What could or should a future Linked Open Data infrastructure look like? Are there trends to adapt library applications or research environments to the Semantic Web and to support their users in RDF publishing? * Open licences as a prerequisite for LOD-based infrastructures * What kind of support is to be expected from W3C, international and national bodies for future development? These are our topics for SWIB11. Do you have an interesting project or research topic that should be presented at the conference? We would like to receive suggestions and proposals for contributions (with a brief abstract, no more than one page) until 20 June 2011. The conference will be held in German, but contributions in English are welcome. Please send them electronically to: Joachim Neubert ZBW Tel. +49-(0)40-42834462 E-mail: j.neubert(at)zbw.eu or Adrian Pohl hbz Tel. +49-(0)221-40075235 E-mail: swib(at)hbz-nrw.de Website: http://swib.org/swib11 Twitter: #swib11

Re: [CODE4LIB] Randy Fischer....................................VACATION MISFORTUNE
Won't we feel like heels if it turns out, this one time, a guy really got mugged and stranded in London. I'd offer to help, but until my Nigerian oil money comes through, I'm strapped.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Representing copyright holder in MODS
I'd probably do: name type=personal namePartTaylor, Mike/namePart role roleTerm type=code authority=marcrelatorcph/roleTerm roleTerm type=text authority=marcrelatorCopyright holder/roleTerm /role /name That could be used either in the main record, or inside relatedItem as Ray suggested if you're just referring to the abstract.

Am I missing something? (The publisher element is not the answer here, as it's not at all unusual for the copyright to be held by someone other than the publisher -- the author, for example.)

I am sure that suggestions will be warmly encouraged. Suggestions that require a ton of work will also be cheerfully encouraged, provided that the work is included.
