Are you really suggesting that we cede linked data creation, management and curation to vendors. Gee, that's pretty sarcastic. No, I am suggesting that there is a needed service to help folks with textual data take that first step: adding the identifiers for those strings, like adding $0 fields to their MARC records. Perhaps you weren't around for the previous transitions, but such services jump-started both the conversion of cards to MARC and AACR to AACR2. You may not be aware but OCLC and other vendors provide conversion services of this nature on a continuing basis. It's much more efficient than having every library do the same coding for themselves. Oh, and remember that we share cataloging through copy cataloging services. There are lots of things that it just doesn't make sense to do it yourself. kc Chad On Apr 30, 2014 10:28 PM, Karen Coyle li...@kcoyle.net wrote: On 4/30/14, 6:37 PM, Roy Tennant wrote: In the end there may need to be reconciliation services just like we had similar services in the card-catalog-to-digital years. Roy Roy, yes, that's what I'm assuming. I think we are indeed in the same leaky boat we were in in the 1970's when all of a sudden we realized that in the future we wanted our data to be digital but most of what we had was definitely analog. In the early days, we thought it was an impossible task to convert our cards to MARC, but it turned out to be possible. I believe that linking our heading strings (the ones that hopefully resemble the prefLabel on someone's authority file) to identifiers is not as hard as people assume, especially if we have systems that can learn -- that is, that can build up cases of synonyms (e.g. Smith, John with title Here's my book == Smith, John J. with title Here's my book). This is what the AACR-AACR2 services did. OCLC surely does a lot of this when merging manifestations, and undoubtedly did so when determining what are works, and when bringing authority entries together for VIAF. No, you don't get 100% perfection, but we don't get that now with any of our services. And for all of those who keep suggesting Open Refine -- it's like you walk into bakery to buy a cake and they hand you flour, eggs, milk and show you where the oven is. Yes, it can be done. But you want the cake -- if you could do and wanted to *make* a cake you wouldn't be in the bakery, you'd be home in your kitchen. So in case it isn't clear, I'm talking cake, not cake making. How are we going to provide cake to the library and archives masses? And, if you are feeling entrepreneurial, wouldn't this be a good time to open a bakery? kc On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 5:53 PM, Karen Coyle li...@kcoyle.net wrote: Roy, the question that I have is, as I say below, about DISCOVERABILITY of URIs, not intellectual property issues. It's great that there are lots of URIs for useful things out in the world, but they don't jump into your data store on their own through some kind of magic. To me, the big problem today is that of populating legacy data with useful identifiers. I know that some folks have worked at making connections between subject headings in their catalog and the URIs available through id.loc.gov - and as I recall, it turns out to be fairly frustrating. It seems to be that the solution to this is that providers of URIs and users of URIs have to both make an effort to meet half-way, or at a mutally convenient location. It simply is not enough to say: Hey, look! I've got all of these URIs. Good luck!

Putting Linked Data in a job title is something far more significant. Since code4lib is not always boast4lib-ish, it would be too great a loss to not see the evidence of financial investment by institutions for things like the Hydra stack (Solr, Fedora, Blacklight...) over the last few years.

Re: [CODE4LIB] separate list for jobs
How do you manage to filter out those who feel their job is worthy of cross posting without using jobs@code4lib ? To me this is a strong argument for keeping the Code4Lib job posting as-is. For the postings that come through http://jobs.code4lib.org/ , people can filter with 100% accuracy. If every listserv has an organized and consistent way of marking up and sending job postings, then filters would work on those other lists too. -Wilhelmina Randtke On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 1:14 PM, Carrick Rogers carri...@stanford.edu wrote: How do you manage to filter out those who feel their job is worthy of cross posting without using jobs@code4lib I've yet to get around to making a smarter filter to deal with those.

As that is not the title of this list I felt it was a reasonable question, mostly because every time this topic comes up people simply respond No without explaining why.

Re: [CODE4LIB] separate list for jobs
mostly because every time this topic comes up people simply respond No without explaining why. Since I was one of the first to respond with a bare no, let me explain why. Dan didn't seed the discussion in any way. He asked a yes or no question - is it time to reconsider a jobs only list. Without any apparent reason WHY we should reconsider the topic, I felt the obvious answer was No. I also, at the time, didn't feel the need to elaborate on my answer. I honestly don't care if we keep the job postings on this list or create a new list. I'm just not interested in the discussion.

Re: [CODE4LIB] separate list for jobs
It's not conversation though, it's more like broadcast. Surely I don't have to explain on this particular list why this channel is not the perfect broadcast outlet. Further, it's quite distinct subject matter. Let me not generalise about librarians, but don't these ideas resonate?: * separating out discrete information usefully ... ? * giving users the tools to choose ... ? (OK, we can set up filters. Note that I don't do that for any other lists. This is a common enough filtering requirement that the onus of effort should be looked at. You filter it, user is only OK IMO for unusual filtering requirements - this seems to have weight behind it.) And if there's, say, a job feed, I probably _will_ subscribe, but I'll check it less often. A feed will let us apply metadata (do we know what that is?), which means we could potentially filter it to our own regions too. Oh, the possibilities! This organising information stuff isn't just a theory we test on our patrons. If this group can't provide an exemplar, then ... [insert calamity].
