Re: [CODE4LIB] XMP Metadata to tab-delemited file

[Michael Hopwood]

Hello Misty, Andrea,

Thanks for your discussion on extracting useful XMP.

I have been trying to do this in the context of the 
www.linkedheritage.eu project.

I got as far as producing XMP RDF/XML files but the problem then remains; how 
to usefully manage these via XSLT transforms?

The problem is that XMP uses an RDF syntax that comes in many flavours and 
doesn't result in a predictable set of xpaths to apply the XSLT to.

I wonder if you got any solutions beyond this point? A de-customising XSLT to 
extract a "flat" XMP flavour before applying the XSLT of choice?

Best,

[CODE4LIB] Job: Librarian II (Temp. Records Manager) at Johns Hopkins University

[jobs]

The Johns Hopkins University is hiring an experienced records management
consultant for a temporary appointment. The consultant will survey and analyze
the recordkeeping environment of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)
in order to create a records management plan for the primary purpose of
identifying and preserving the current and future records of enduring value of
the Institute.

  
Primary Duties and Responsibilities

  
Interview key records creators and leadership at Space Telescope Science
Institute to gain an understanding of the functions of the organization and
the records they produce in support of those functions. The Johns Hopkins
University Archivist will help to schedule these meetings.

Prepare an inventory of records series maintained by offices, identifying in
what format(s) they exist.

Based on the inventory, create a records retention schedule that at a minimum
identifies which records series do and do not merit permanent retention by the
University Archives.

Create a records management plan that recommends the workflow for transferring
print, digitized, and born-digital records of permanent value from STScI to
the administrative care of the University Archives. This workflow document
must take into consideration that it will be followed by a designated Records
Custodian (in collaboration with the University Archives) who will be an
employee of STScI and not be a trained Records Manager.

  
Note: This position is not eligible for benefits. Hours worked not to exceed
280.

  
Additional Information:

  
The STScI currently employs approximately 500 FTE, the majority of whom work
on the campus of the Johns Hopkins University in the Stephen Muller Building.
The organization maintains approximately 15 functional unit heads, reporting
to a Deputy Director and Director. The successful applicant will be provided
an organizational chart for reference.

  
The STScI was established in 1981 through the combined efforts of the
Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Science
Foundation (NSF). Its original purpose was to be the research institute for
the Edwin P. Hubble Space Telescope (HST), launched in a low-earth orbit in
April 1990 via the space shuttle Discovery. This marked the first time that
NASA entrusted a scientific undertaking to an independent institute. A home
for the institute was chosen on the campus of Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore, Maryland after two years of negotiations between NASA and AURA
members. Funding is provided contractually through NASA, while management of
the institute is overseen by AURA. STScI worked with NASA and many contractors
to design the instruments that formed Hubble's original payload. These
consisted of the Wide Field Planetary Camera 1 (WFPC1), Faint Object
Spectrometer (FOS), Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), High Speed
Photometer (HSP), and the Faint Object Camera (FOC).

  
The Institute also evaluates observing proposals, schedules observation time,
processes and archives the telescope's data for future scientific research,
and formulates and provides public outreach activities for HST. The Institute
is also the science and operations center for the James Webb Space Telescope
(JWST) and data archive for all of NASA's optical/UV missions through the
Multimission Archive at Space Telescope (MAST).

  
In 2007, STScI and Johns Hopkins University?s Sheridan Libraries (JHU) entered
into an agreement whereby JHU would serve as the depository for the STScI?s
administrative records of enduring value. Not governed by this arrangement is
the data archive of Hubble Telescope images, which is maintained by NASA.

  
To date, STScI has transferred two significant accessions of historical
records to JHU?s University Archives, in 2008 and 2011. Part of this
collection has been processed and the finding aid for these materials is
located at http://ead.library.jhu.edu/ms500.xml. Because STScI is a living
organization that creates records (and therefore history) on a daily basis,
more guidance is needed to better inform decisions about which records of
STScI merit enduring retention due to their historical value, and which
records can be disposed of because they are of short-term value. Furthermore,
STScI and JHU need to begin to identify and collect records of enduring value
that exist in electronic format, including emails, word documents, web
content, and digital photographs. The Institute does have a records retention
schedule that identifies legal requirements for some records series. However,
this schedule does not acknowledge all records series maintained by the
organization, and the retention periods only define legal needs, not business
or historical needs. Based on these challenges, it has been determined that
the STScI requires a records management plan to help STScI and JHU preserve
the history of STScI in a more orderly fashion

[CODE4LIB] Implemented Microdata (or RDFa Lite) and Schema.org?

[Jason Ronallo]

Last year at the C4L conference, I gave a talk on HTML5 Microdata and
Schema.org [1]. At the time I had trouble finding many libraries or other
cultural heritage organizations that had implemented anything.

Now there are big examples like OCLC, but anyone else done anything with
this? Have you implemented Microdata (or RDFa Lite) and Schema.org since
then? Or have you come across other libraries or cultural heritage
organizations that have?

While there are some datasets [2] out there now where I might be able to
discover this information, I haven't had the chance to look there yet.

Thank you for any examples or leads.

Jason

I am personally looking forward to the walk.  Though I live in Florida, I've 
lived in colder places and have appropriate coats, etc.  And I don't have any 
mobility issues, and routinely walk a few miles just for fun.

But if I didn't already own cold-weather gear that I would never need in 
Florida, I would not be looking forward to walking a mile, early in the morning 
or late at night, in February, in Chicago, where I could reasonably expect it 
to be in the ballpark of 20°F.

Which reminds me, I really hope some warmer locales are prepping c4l14 
proposals as we speak.
