Re: [CODE4LIB] W3C RDF Validation Workshop

2013-09-12 Thread Ethan Gruber
RDF is not the be all end all for representing information, so I don't know
if there is a point to defining a validation schema which can also be
represented in RDF since requirements vary from model to model, project to
project.  If you were creating RDF/XML, you could enforce complex
validation through schematron.  XForms 2.0 will support JSON and other
non-XML data models, so you could enforce complex validation through XForms
bindings since XPath 3 will support parsing JSON, thus JSON-LD.

Our project consists of (at the moment) tens of thousands of concepts
defined at URIs and represented by XHTML+RDFa fragments.  These bits of
XHTML are edited in XForms, so the validation is pretty tight.  The
XHTML+RDFa is transformed into RDF proper upon file save and posted into
our endpoint with the SPARQL/Update mechanism.

But my broader point is: RDF (typically) is a derivative resource of a more
detailed data model.  In the case where the RDF is derivative of a
canonical resource/document, validation can be applied more consistently
during the editing process of the canonical resource.

Re: [CODE4LIB] W3C RDF Validation Workshop

2013-09-12 Thread Karen Coyle
Ethan, it is true that probably a majority of RDF sets in the cloud 
are exports from a non-RDF format. Yet if you look at the page I cited, 
you will see that there are major players (including Google) working 
with triple-stores and doing validation on them using SPARQL. So 
validation of RDF has use cases, and those use cases appear to be 
growing as more users move to native or near-native RDF.


Europeana uses XSD/schematron in their implementation, but apparently 
would prefer a better solution. (See talk by Antoine Isaac, Day 1).

[CODE4LIB] Announcing the first annual code4lib regional event in beautiful BC: code4libBC!

2013-09-12 Thread Paul Joseph
When: November 28 and 29

Where: SFU Harbour Centre, Vancouver, BC

Cost: $20

Register here: https://code4libbc2013.eventbrite.ca/

What: It’s a 2 day unconference! A participant-driven meeting featuring
lightning talks in the mornings, hackfest in the afternoons, with coffee,
tea and snacks provided. Lightning talks are brief presentations which are
typically 5-10 minutes in length (15 minutes is the maximum) on topics
related to library technologies: current projects, tips and tricks, or
hacks in the works. Hackfest is an opportunity to bring participants
together in an ad hoc fashion for a short, yet sustained period of problem
solving, software development and fun. In advance of the event, we will
gather project ideas in a form available through our wiki and registration
pages. Each afternoon the code4libBC participants will review and discuss
the proposals, break into groups, and work on some of the projects.
**

Who: A diverse and open community of library developers and non-developers
engaging in effective, collaborative problem-solving through technology.
Anyone from the library community who is interested in library technologies
are welcome to join and participate, regardless of their department or
background: systems and IT, public services, circulation, cataloguing and
technical services, archives, digitization and preservation. All are
welcome to help set the agenda, define the outcomes and develop the
deliverables!
**

Why: Why not? code4libBC is a group of dynamic library technology
practitioners throughout the province who want to build new relationships
as much as develop new software solutions to problems.
**

For more information on the event, visit our wiki page on the code4lib wiki:
**

http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/BC

If you’re ready to get your hands dirty with library technology
practitioners, register here:
**

https://code4libbc2013.eventbrite.ca/

Our first annual code4libBC event could not have been made possible without
the generous financial support of:
**

- BC Electronic Library Network

- BC Libraries Cooperative

- Kwantlen Polytechnic University

- Simon Fraser University

- University of Victoria.

And special thanks to the BC Libraries Cooperative for assisting the
organizing group with administrative duties.
