[CODE4LIB] Announcement: Cultural Heritage Organizations Vocabulary Published
The Library of Congress is pleased to make the Cultural Heritage Organizations vocabulary available as linked data from LC's Linked Data Service, ID.LOC.GOV. The Cultural Heritage Organizations vocabulary is a linked data representation of the MARC Organizations code list, which, among other uses, is an essential reference tool for those dealing with MARC records, for systems reporting library holdings, for many interlibrary loan systems, and for those who may be organizing cooperative projects on a regional, national, or international scale. While the Cultural Heritage Organizations vocabulary focuses on US institutions, with over 30,000 defined, it also includes codes for institutions in other countries that have requested them. However, MARC codes are not assigned for institutions for Canada, Germany, or the United Kingdom unless the institution is a branch of a US institution. Overall, the vocabulary contains over 36,000 entries. Bulk downloads of the Cultural Heritage Organizations vocabulary are also available from the downloads page. ** Please explore the Cultural Heritage Organizations yourself at http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/organizations ** Contact Us about ID: As always, your feedback is important and welcomed. Though we are interested in all forms of constructive commentary on all topics related to ID, we're particularly interested in how the data available from ID.LOC.GOV is used. Your contributions directly inform service enhancements. You can send comments or report any problems to us via the ID feedback form or ID listserv (see the web site). Background: The LC Linked Data Service was first made available in May 2009 and offered the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), the Library's initial entry into the Linked Data environment. In part by assigning each vocabulary and each data value within it a unique resource identifier (URI), the service provides a means for machines to semantically access, use, and harvest authority and vocabulary data that adheres to W3C recommendations, such as Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), and the more detailed vocabulary MADS/RDF. In this way, the LC Linked Data Service also makes government data publicly and freely available in the spirit of the Open Government directive. Although the primary goal of the service is to enable machine access to Library of Congress data, a web interface serves human users searching and browsing the vocabularies. The new datasets join the term and code lists already available through the service: * Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) * Library of Congress Children's Subject Headings * Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms * Library of Congress / NACO Name Authority File * Library of Congress / LCC (select schedules) * Thesaurus of Graphic Materials * MARC Code List for Relators * MARC Code List for Countries (which reference their equivalent ISO 3166 codes) * MARC Code List for Geographic Areas * MARC Code List for Languages (which have been cross referenced with ISO 639-1, 639-2, and 639-5, where appropriate) * PREMIS vocabularies The above code lists also contain links with appropriate LCSH and LC/NAF headings. LC's Linked Data Service is managed by the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress. -- Kevin Ford Network Development and MARC Standards Office Library of Congress Washington, DC
Re: [CODE4LIB] The Wikipedia Library
If I understand what you're saying, what you need is an EZproxy http://www.oclc.org/ezproxy.en.html install configured to authenticate against Unified login https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login and specific user rights https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights or some other user grouping mechanism. EZproxy is the defacto standard for making paywalled resources avaliable to institutional users from off campus. The only downsides are (a) that it requires you have full control over DNS because a proxy at https://proxy.wikimedia.org/ would also answer https://some.subscrpition.resource.example.com.proxy.wikimedia.org/ and forward to https://some.subscrpition.resource.example.com/ and (b) as a proxy, it touches all traffic, stream video and very large PDFs will be redirected through the proxy. Alternatively, there is a slight chance of joining a Shibboleth federation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth_%28Internet2%29 but that's a big ball of policy that is likely to be incompatible. Shibboleth is preferred for streaming because there is no proxying. cheers stuart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stuartyeates On 29/08/13 03:49, Jake Orlowitz wrote: Hi folks, My name is Jake Orlowitz and I coordinate Wikipedia's open research hub, The Wikipedia Library. Wikimedia Foundation board member Phoebe Ayers recommended that I reach out to you to see if we might be able to collaborate in some way. The Wikipedia Library has several different platforms, several of which would benefit from better technical integration. One of our primary goals is to get active, experienced Wikipedia editors access to paywalled sources and university libraries. We have received donations from several publishers and interest from several libraries. The challenge for us is managing those partnerships at scale and in a secure fashion. We're also working towards more functional research desks, programs that let reference librarians field research queries from editors or the public, remote 'visiting scholar' or 'research affiliate' positions at institutional libraries, University partnerships with online library access, open access awareness programs, and other related activities. I'd love to talk more about these projects with you, either through email or voice chat.
