Re: [CODE4LIB] Ontology Question
Hiya, Is it okay to just use the classes I need or should I include the super classes which they belong to? I think we also need to define a few concepts here. What do you mean, include? As far as I can tell, you want to say something like Here's a few concepts we're using, and their definition is based off this other ontology over *there* (pointing), but that's not always the case, so just asking. Now, Karen is of course right in her take on it, but there's a little thing that require a bit of focus, and that's how this new ontology is going to be used. Is it one of these manual labour things where it doesn't actually require formal definitions as much as a human one, or is it (however you use the ontology) to be passed through a tool, or more formally passed through an inferencer?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Cataloging4Coders @ C4L12 - We need your brains
I work as the metadata wrangler for CollectiveAccesshttp://collectiveaccess.org/, and will soon be the metadata/catalog librarian at University of Vermont. I think a forum/workshop on open source software and code would be really helpful. In my experience, many folks don't totally understand open source software and how to manage it once they adopt it. also, a workshop on metadata project management would be useful. -Amber On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 9:46 AM, Christine Schwartz catalogingfutu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Becky, Is this pre-conference going to be cataloging/metadata training for coders?

[CODE4LIB] Next-L Enju Leaf 1.0.0 released
Dear all, Project Next-L (http://www.next-l.jp/), the librarian community in Japan proudly announces the release of our open-source integrated library system, Next-L Enju Leaf 1.0.0. https://github.com/nabeta/enju_leaf/tree/1.0 Next-L Enju Leaf is a full-featured ILS built on Ruby on Rails 3.1, Apache Solr and their RESTful architecture. A live demo site is at the following site. http://enju2.slis.keio.ac.jp/?locale=en Next-L Enju has been adopted by some libraries in Japan, for example, National Diet Library (http://iss.ndl.go.jp/) and National Institute for Materials Science (https://library.nims.go.jp/). The latest example is Minamisanriku Library, a public library in Miyagi prefecture. It was completely swept away by the tsunami after the huge earthquake on March 11, http://www.flickr.com/photos/argeditor/5688080135/in/set-72157626649048894 and reopened in a temporary location on October 6. http://english.kyodonews.jp/photos/2011/10/118715.html http://www.flickr.com/groups/1792320@N23/pool/ The library had not introduced an ILS before, so the librarians who engaged in volunteer work to restore the library chose Next-L Enju to organize about 3,000 donated books. http://www.flickr.com/photos/water24653jv/6185440740/in/pool-1792320@N23 http://www.flickr.com/photos/53412454@N05/6181365888/in/pool-1792320@N23 If you are interested in our project, Feel free to contact us. -- Kosuke Tanabe

Re: [CODE4LIB] Cataloging4Coders @ C4L12 - We need your brains
As a co-conspirator let me jump in here. In answer to Christine's question - yes. This is cataloging for non-catalogers - specifically geared to coders. Hence the subject line Cataloging4Coders (grin). I think people are somehow misunderstanding Becky's request for input. The idea is to further understanding of cataloger culture and cataloging concepts rather than teach how to do descriptive cataloging in x standard. That would take way more than a half-day or one-day workshop. Plus there are already tons of great courses out there by SAA, ALCTS, SCTP, etc. I point the people interested in EAD in that direction for training. This CODE4LIB preconference would help coders deal with the metadata they've got. It's an explanation of why library metadata is the way it is rather than a how-to roll your own. The existing knowledge and skills of those wanting to attend will determine how detailed we get. We're are trying to get a sense of the background knowledge of potential attendees and the specific problems they encounter. Most definitely we also need a coding-for-catalogers session, but this isn't it.

[CODE4LIB] iPad Kiosk Statistics
Hello All, We are implementing iPads in our library as wayfinders or kiosks. Does anyone know of a way to get stats from them?

Re: [CODE4LIB] iPad Kiosk Statistics
If you register the iPads as part of the Apple Developer Network, you can use Xcode to view all sorts of access/use logs that iOS saves. I don't have any specific knowledge of the app you're using (which would make a difference, since it would be doing the logging) but the capability is there. Becoming an Apple iOS developer is $99 a year, which may also make a difference. Jason On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 3:30 PM, Edward Iglesias edwardigles...@gmail.comwrote: No internet connection.

Re: [CODE4LIB] iPad Kiosk Statistics
HTML5 local cache is an interesting idea...you could potentially even build in some javascript to do very basic logging (accesses/uses) using the cache as your datastore. Funky, but probably doable. If going down the xCode/Apple dev road, while it's not trivial, it's reasonably straightforward to throw some HTML into a UIWebview in Xcode and compile it as a native app. If you're paying for the Dev access, you could build an app directly to do what you want.

Re: [CODE4LIB] iPad Kiosk Statistics
I've used the semi-deprecated Web SQL Database on iPads to store relational data locally with some periodic polling to see if it's safe to flush the data to a server. The data survives browser and device restarts. This works well as long as the network access is reliably intermittent (as Nate pointed out). I used the persistence.js ORM, which made the data a little easier to work with. https://github.com/zefhemel/persistencejs If you're just storing a set of log lines, localStorage might be the shorter path (and it would work in Firefox, if that matters).

I found some co-conspirators and we are planning to propose a pre-conference on cataloging/library metadata creation geared towards the huddled code4lib masses (otherwise known as coders) who are yearning for knowledge of this Darkest of Library Arts. We need you help before we post our proposal. We realize that there's a wide range of cataloging knowledge and experience in the community, and we want to make sure that those interested get the most out of the pre-conference. If this pre-conference has perked your interest, can you help us in letting us know: - What experience do you have with cataloging/library metadata creation? - What do you want us to cover? Do you have any questions that you want covered? This information will help us greatly in how we structure the pre-conference both in content and schedule. For now, we're planning a half-day pre-conference, but if there's enough interest between beginners and more experienced folks, we will consider offering two half-day preconferences in order to focus on specific participant needs. Feel free to ask questions as well - I'll try to answer them as best as possible given what our group has brainstormed so far. Thanks for reading, Becky Official cat[aloger] herder --- Becky Yoose Systems Librarian Grinnell College Libraries yoose...@grinnell.edu
