Re: [CODE4LIB] Excel to XML

[Dana Pearson]

I don't use Excel but a client did who wanted to use XSL I had created ONIX
to MARC to transformbibliographic metadata in Excel to XML.  The built
in Excel XML converter was not very helpful since empty cells were skipped
so that it was impossible to use that result.

There is an add on that allow you to map your data to XML elements by
creating a schema which is pretty cool.

This might be helpful.

The current version of Excel offers a save as XML option.

It will produce something like this.  There is other wrapping metadata, but
the table is pretty easy to parse.

  
   
row 1

row 2
answer 2
   
   
row 3
answer 3
   
   
row 4

row 5 
answer 2
   
   
row 6

[CODE4LIB] Excel to XML

[Ryan Engel]

Hello -

I have an Excel spreadsheet that, for the purposes of an easy import 
into a Drupal site, I'd like to convert to XML.  I know people more 
knowledgeable than I could code up something in Python or Perl to 
convert a CSV version of the data to XML (and I have a colleague who 
offered to do just that for me), but I am looking for recommendations 
for something more immediately accessible.


Here's an idea of how the spreadsheet is structured:

Row1Question1Q1Answer1
Row2Q1Answer2
Row3Q1Answer3
Row4Question2Q2Answer1
Row5Q2Answer2
Row6Question3Q3Answer1
etc.

How do other people approach this?  Import the data to an SQL database, 
write some clever queries, and then export that to XML?  Work some 
wizardry in GoogleRefine/OpenRefine?  Are scripting languages really the 
best all around solution?  Excel's built in XML mapping function wasn't 
able to process the one-to-many relationship of questions to answers, 
though maybe I just don't know how to build the mapping structure correctly.


In the interest immanent deadlines, I have handed the spreadsheet off to 
my Perl-writing colleague.  But as a professional growth opportunity, 
I'm interested in suggestions from Libraryland about ways others have 
approached this successfully.


Thanks!

Ha, I don't know where he got the shirt, but Ashkan and I were classmates at

[CODE4LIB] DLF Forum New Professionals Fellowship applications due Monday

[Louisa Kwasigroch]

Consider nominating someone from your team!
The DLF community includes staff who work in libraries and other information

will continue to provide DLF Forum Fellowships for New Professionals. The Forum 
is an excellent place to hear about the latest advances in digital 
librarianship, to meet new colleagues and contacts, and to get involved with 
DLF initiatives.

expenses of attending the DLF Forum. Additionally, the fellows will each 
receive a complimentary full registration to the Forum ($475). Fellowship

about their experience; this blog post will be published by DLF.

ELIGIBILITY

institution. The following full- or part-time 
individuals are eligible:

institutions who have been in the profession for 3 years or less; and whose 
work is wholly or predominantly in some area of the digital library.
  *   Graduate and undergraduate student assistants at DLF member institutions 
who, although only working part-time, make a significant contribution to a 
digital library endeavor and who may be considering a digital library career.

APPLICATION

lkwasigr...@clir.org, with the subject "Forum 
Fellowship: [Full Name]:

  *   Cover letter of nomination from the candidate’s supervisor/manager or a

the DLF Forum.
  *   A current résumé.

Applications must be submitted before 4 pm EDT on June 16.

EVALUATION

Candidates will be selected by the Forum Program Planning Committee. In 
assessing the applications, the Committee will look for a demonstrated 
commitment to digital library work as evidenced by work experience and academic 
background, and will consider the degree to which forum participation might 
influence the applicant’s decision to pursue a digital library career. They 
will also make sure that the applicants meet the basic eligibility 
requirements. Applicants will be notified of their status by June 27, 2014.
