Re: [CODE4LIB] linked data question
Well, that's my question. I have the micro view of linked data, I think - it's a distribution/self-describing format. But I don't see the big picture. In the non-techie library world, linked data is being talked about (perhaps only in listserv traffic) as if the data (bibliographic data, for instance) will reside on remote sites (as a SPARQL endpoint??? We don't know the technical implications of that), and be displayed by your local catalog/the centralized inter-national catalog by calling data from that remote site. But the original question was how the data on those remote sites would be access points - how can I start my search by searching for that remote content? I assume there has to be a database implementation that visits that data and pre-indexes it for it to be searchable, and therefore the index has to be local (or global a la Google or OCLC or its bibliographic-linked-data equivalent).

Re: [CODE4LIB] linked data question
Cindy- I think there are several options for how this works, and different applications may take different approaches. The most basic approach would be to just include the URIs in your local system and retrieve them any time you wanted to work with them. But the performance of that would be terrible, and your application would stop working if it couldn't retrieve the URIs. So there are lots of different approaches (which could be combined): - Retrieve the URIs the first time, and then cache them locally. - Download an entire data dump of the remote vocabulary and host it locally. - Add text fields in parallel to the URIs, so you at least have a label for it. - Index the data in Solr, Elasticsearch, etc. and use that most of the time, esp. for read-only operations. -Esme On 02/25/15, at 2:30 PM, Harper, Cynthia char...@vts.edu wrote: Well, that's my question.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Python PyMARC Code Club
Me too please !
Re: [CODE4LIB] linked data question
I am kind of new to this linked data thing, but it seems like the real
power of it is not full-text search, but linking through the use of shared
vocabularies. So if you have data about Jane Austen in your database and
you are using the same URI as other databases to represent Jane Austen in
your data (say http://dbpedia.org/resource/Jane_Austen), then you (or
rather, your software) can do an exact search on that URI in remote
resources vs. a fuzzy text search. In other words, linked data is really
supposed to be linked by machines and discoverable through URIs. If you
visit the URL: http://dbpedia.org/page/Jane_Austen you can see a
human-interpretable representation of the data a SPARQL endpoint would
return for a query for triples {http://dbpedia.org/page/Jane_Austen ?p ?o}.
This is essentially asking the database for all subject-predicate-object
facts it contains where Jane Austen is the subject. (Sorry if this is stuff
you already know.)
So yeah, to get full text search, I think you'd need to both cache and
index the data locally. I believe most triplestore implementations index on
subject and object URIs to make lookups like the one mentioned above
relatively efficient, but most would not have efficient full text search
unless through some external indexing application like Solr.
