Re: [CODE4LIB] neo4j
My proposal for code4lib on this topic was not selected, but I was invited to give the same talk at the Berkeley Information School Friday afternoon seminar last week (but I had about 40 mins rather than 20). Here are the notes from my talk last Friday: http://tingletech.github.com/296a-1-2012/ Also, I did some quick screenrs of what I would have talked about (but I didn't really practice, I would have prepared more for a real talk, these are sort of phoning it in) http://www.screenr.com/1lws http://www.screenr.com/pfws http://www.screenr.com/Pg9s Here is a page that is powered by Tinkerpop/Neo4J/rexster in production http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/xtf/view?mode=RGraphdocId=franklin-benjamin-1706-1790-cr.xml I've found tinkerpop, gremlin, and rexster to be very easy to work with, and the tinkerpop list is very helpful.

The web version of AustLit was developed in 2000 based on FRBR with a strong emphasis on events realised with a topic map model, so the sql implementation is close to a triple-store. More information on the details are here: http://www.austlit.edu.au/about , http://www.austlit.edu.au/about/metadata and http://www.austlit.edu.au:/DataModel/index.html (ALEG was the working name for AustLit redevelopment in 2000). Last year a decision was taken to move AustLit from a subscription service to open access, and from updates being performed solely by dedicated bibliographers and researchers (members of various AustLit teams distributed across Australia) to include community contributions, so rather than work these changes into a 12 year old system, it was decided to start afresh with an approach which would more naturally support the AustLit data model. So, we experimented with Neo4j, and were impressed with its performance. For example, loading our current data from Oracle into an empty neo4j database takes about 30 minutes (using a run-of-the-mill 3 year-old server), producing a graph of 14m nodes and 20m relationships. Performing custom indexing of this data using the built-in Lucene integration takes about 2.5 hours, but that's a function of the extensive indexing we're performing. As you'd probably expect, we do have some issues we're working through, such as - integration with Lucene is abstracted by the neo4j index interface, so it is difficult or impossible to use some native Lucene features. For example, boosting index nodes based on their inherent importance and using this boost in lucene to determine relevance cannot be done. - our data model is complex, and added to the requirements to version every node and relationship (ie, record changes, allow rollback), our graph traversals are correspondingly complex, but I suspect as we become more familar with graph traversal idioms in gremlin and cypher, they'll become as normal as sql But so far, neo4j seems fast and robust, and we're optimistic!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Google Analytics w/ Sub-sub-domains
This can be really tricky to get right when you have a more complicated site with lots of domains. Since you are all on .yale.edu it should be easier than crossing .cdlib.org to .universityofcalifornia.edu. If I understand correctly, you should be able to _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.yale.edu']); on every page and it should work. http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html#domainSubDomains This debugging plugin for chrome is pretty useful https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jnkmfdileelhofjcijamephohjechhna It will help you confirm what is getting sent to google. -- Brian On Feb 6, 2012, at 11:53 AM, Predmore, Andrew wrote: I have been tasked with updating the Analytics for the Yale University Library, and I am having quite a bit of trouble.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Google Analytics w/ Sub-sub-domains
Henry, that is what you need to do if you want to track the same page to two different google analytics properties and you are using the legacy synchronous code. It sounds like yale wants to collect all this use under one UA- google analytics property (it is just that the property spans multiple subdomains). I think the link I sent to http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.htmlhttp://%22 addresses the yale case; and I the way I read it adding this: _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.yale.edu']); Or _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'library.yale.edu']); on _every_ page should work. Right now, I only see _setDomainName on the home page. If this is not the _same_ on all the pages, the cookies won't be shared as users move between the sites. For example; view-source:http://www.library.yale.edu/researcheducation/ This page is missing _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.yale.edu']); It will only work prospectively (it won't change the past) but when all pages are sharing the same _setDomainName then they should all share the same cookies and the links between pages should be counted correctly. But google analytics can get tricky, just when I think I understand something it changes. I find I have to double check things a lot with the debug toolbar to make sure the right stuff is getting sent to google (esp. when setting up custom events or setting up multiple trackers on the same page). You should be able to use it to verify that the same session and cookies are being used as you go from page to page. In the chrome debug nowadays you can right click on the console log and select Preserve Log upon navigation which makes this a lot easier.
Re: [CODE4LIB] Q: best practices for *simple* contributor IP/licensing management for open source?
Does something along those lines end up working legally, or is it worthless, no better than just continuing to ignore the problem, so you might as well just continue to ignore the problem? Or if it is potentially workable, does anyone have examples of projects using such a system, ideally with some evidence some lawyer has said it’s worthwhile, including a lawyer-vetted digital contributor agreement? I'm not sure the extent of this risk for most small projects, esp. if you don't think you will ever want to relicense it. If I send you a pull request, and it is like a couple of characters different because there was a syntax error, or I add a couple of lines, and I don't bother to change the license and copyright statement, I don't think it is too unreasonable to accept the patch. If I write dozens of files for a new module that is sort of unrelated to the original code and I don't include the project's copyright statement in the code, then I could see you saying hey, can you clarify if you are granting me the copyright, or maybe you want to slap a copyright notice on that yourself before you accept the contribution. But maybe you could just make a statement in your README along the lines of If you send a pull request to this project or otherwise make a contribution of code you and your employer to grant a non-excluive royalty free perpetual redistribution license to Acme Inc and you represent that you have the rights to do so Maybe you could argue that the act of submission of the modified code is an implicit grant of the code consistent with the terms of the license of the original code. The cool thing about revision control, and accepting pull requests, is that it keeps a line by line record of who committed the code, so if there were a problem you might have a chance at extracting and re-writing the tainted contribution.

It goes on to say that During the last (28th) year of the first term, the copyright was eligible for renewal. This however, was *not* an automatic renewal.

[CODE4LIB] automatic greeking of sample files
Hi, I'm now in the group that produces XTF, and for XTF4.0, I'm thinking about updating the EAD XSLT based on the Online Archive of California's stylesheets.

I'd like to start of a collection of pathological EAD examples that we have the rights to redistribute with the XTF tutorials and to use for testing. Anticipating that potential contributors might not want to release their actual records for inclusion in an open source project; I hacked a little script to systematically change names and nouns to pig latin https://gist.github.com/1429538 Here is a sample run; Input: (from http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt3580374v/ ) The NASA Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on January 28, 1986 when Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. Disintegration of the entire vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster failed at liftoff. The disaster resulted in the formation of the Rogers Commission, a special commission appointed by United States President Ronald Reagan to investigate the accident. The Presidential Commission found that NASA's organizational culture and decision-making processes had been a key contributing factor to the accident. NASA managers had known that contractor Morton Thiokol's design of the solid rocket boosters contained a potentially catastrophic flaw in the O-rings, but they failed to address it properly. They also disregarded warnings from engineers about the dangers of launching posed by the low temperatures of that morning. output: The Nasaay Acespay Uttleshay Allengerchay isasterday occurred on Anuaryjay 28, 1986 when Acespay Uttleshay Allengerchay okebray apartway 73 econdsays into its flight, leading to the eathdays of its seven ewcray embermays.

[CODE4LIB] json4lib / API for Calisphere
I've started work on a project that I'm envisioning partly as sort of a JSON profile of METS optimized for access. I've implemented this JSON format for search results in calisphere by adding an rmode=json to the calisphere/oac branch of xtf. Here is some documentation about it http://json4lib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ And here is the code http://code.google.com/p/json4lib/source/browse/ This provides an API of sorts to calisphere which is being used to power a slide show widget we are beta testing with contributors which should be released in June. Only simple image objects support full file access at this time, but I have an idea of how to support complex objects in search results using json references. My intention is to use the same JSON format for either a set of search results or a flattened set of nodes of a complex object. To see the JSON results, it is easiest to install JSONview for Firefox or Chrome https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/jsonview/ https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc Do a search or browse in calisphere, say to http://www.calisphere.universityofcalifornia.edu/browse/azBrowse/National+parks add rmode=json http://www.calisphere.universityofcalifornia.edu/browse/azBrowse/National+parksrmode=json the callback parameter is also supported to allow cross domain access via JSONP Here is a working example of the slideshow widget http://cdn.calisphere.org/json4lib/slideshow/example.html The slideshow widget is built using jQuery UI Dialog and the PikaChoose slideshow library. Here is how the JSONP is generated out of XTF (based on xml2json-xslt) https://bitbucket.org/btingle/dsc-xtf/src/92c8607e3fed/style/crossQuery/resultFormatter/json/ The API and the widget are provided for the use of OAC/Calisphere contributors on their own websites. Nothing technical would stop someone from using the JSON in other ways. (I figure I could whitelist referrers if unauthorized use becomes a problem). I'm interested to hear any feedback; especially about the approach of creating a javascript API (do_api.js) that provides methods to the underlying JSON digital library object -- or my crazy arbitrarily qualifiable dublin core implementation -- or any advice or concerns about leaving the JSON feed wide open w/o any sort of API key. Thanks -- Brian

Re: [CODE4LIB] graphML of a social network in archival context
How have you been liking neo4j so far? Is the neo4j graph database something that you have been using in SNAC? Have you been interacting with it mainly via gremlin, the REST API, and/or Java? I've been using the tinkerpop graph processing stack, and the first example I found in the documentation used neo4j, and it seemed to be installed already with gremlin by it's pom.xml so I just went with it. The code should work with any graph database that blueprints supports. tinkerpop has something called rexster which gives a JSON/REST interface to the graph. This is what I'm planning to use as the backend for an interactive javascript visualization of the graph. Just as an aside, I noticed that there are 66 edges that lack labels, and 8332 'associateWith' labels that probably should be 'associatedWith'? Thanks, for catching this error, there must be a typo somewhere in the EAC to EAC XSLT. I'm also kind of curious to hear more about what 'associatedWith' means, is that something from EAC? I noticed that it can connect people, corporate bodies and families. This is something I think Daniel Pitti came up with for the project. Any named identity mentioned in the EAD is presumed to be associatedWith the named identity of the collection creator -- but if the named identity is in a correspondence series or there is another clue that there are correspondence between the identities they are tagged as correspondedWith, a stronger connection.
[CODE4LIB] graphML of a social network in archival context
Hi, As a part of our work on the Social Networks and Archival Context Project [1], the SNAC team is please to release more early results of our ongoing research. A property graph [2] of correspondedWith and associatedWith relationships between corporate, personal, and family identities is made available under the Open Data Commons Attribution License [3] in the form of a graphML file [4]. The graph expresses 245,367 relationships between 124,152 named entities. The graphML file, as well as the scripts to create and load a graph database from EAC or graphML, are available on google code [5] We are still researching how to map from the property graph model to RDF, but this graph processing stack will likely power the interactive visualization of the historical social networks we are developing. Please let us know if you have any feedback about the graph, how it is licensed, or if you create something cool with the data. -- Brian [1] http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/ [2] http://engineering.attinteractive.com/2010/12/a-graph-processing-stack/ [3] http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/ [4] http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/ [5] http://code.google.com/p/eac-graph-load/downloads/detail?name=eac-graph-load-data-2011-02.tar Research funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities http://www.neh.gov/
Re: [CODE4LIB] Apache URL redirect
Redirect does not look the hostname, just the path
I think you have two options;
1) set up a named based virtual host for www.partnersinreading.org
In that name based virtual host, set up your Redirect /
http://www.sjpl.org/par
2) if you are using mod_rewrite, you could do something like this.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*partnersinreading\.org$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.sjpl.org/par$1 [R,NE]
hope that helps,

rewritten with partnersinreading as the root.
That's no good.

The bad news is that it's incredibly slow -- that successful test takes ten minutes to execute, and all it does is load one web page and confirm that a lightbox opens when a button is clicked. I wouldn't realistically expect this sort of thing to be FAST, but the current performance we are experiencing stretches belief a bit -- we're still investigating to see if we're doing something wrong that can be improved, but the general consensus seems to be that Selenium is just really slow on certain platforms. It's a shame, because I think we could potentially write a very comprehensi! ve! and powerful test suite with Selenium... but tests are significantly less valuable if they can't give you reasonably quick feedback while you're in the midst of coding! In any case, I'm happy to share my limited experience with Selenium if it's of any use (some VuFind-specific notes are here: http://vufind.org/wiki/unit_tests#selenium and more can probably be gleaned by looking at VuFind's test-related configuration and scripts).

[CODE4LIB] graph processing stack
I saw an interesting article on hackernews (news.ycombinator.com) yesterday published by ATT interactive -- article summary -- A Graph Processing Stack http://engineering.attinteractive.com/2010/12/a-graph-processing-stack/ [...] ATTi along with other collaborators (see acknowledgments), have been working on an open-source, graph processing stack. This stack depends on the use of a graph database. There are numerous graph databases in the market today. To name a few, there exist Neo4j, OrientDB, DEX, InfiniteGraph, Sones, HyperGraphDB, and others. Blueprints can be considered the 'JDBC' for the graph database community. there is a driver for Sesame Sail Quad Store https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/ Pipes is a low level access to a graph in the database, looks almost like DOM or SAX but for graphs. https://github.com/tinkerpop/pipes/wiki/ Gremlin is a higher level access API and looks more like XPath https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki Finally, at the top of the stack, there exists Rexster. Rexster exposes any Blueprints-enabled graph database as a RESTful server. https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki/ -- end of article summary -- We just released the first public prototype for a Social Networks and Archival Context project, right now you can search 123,920 EAC-CPF records with XTF. http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/prototype.html So there is full text search of names and keywords, and some faceted browsing and basic search stuff. Some of the really interesting data is in all the correspondedWith and associatedWith relationships we have in the EAC records, but putting those into XTF facet values does not seem to be too useful. Now I think that loading these correspondedWith and associatedWith relationships into a graph database with a simple model and then plopping this graph processing stack on top of it might be the best way to index and search these relationships. I had been trying to figure out RDF and how FOAF would map to our data, but I'm stuck on that and don't know how to start. graph processing stack on top of a graph database resonates with me more than RDF store with SPARQL access but I guess they are basically/functionally saying the same thing? Maybe the graph database way of thinking about it is potentially less interoperable open data linking way? -- but I've always believed you have to operate before you can interoperate. Anyway, I hope the recycled hackernews was interesting, and if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, criticism or advice on how to expose access to the social graph in the SNAC project prototype please let me know.
[CODE4LIB] collengine, the collection engine; runs on django-nonrel / app engine
Having been several months since I've tried to run django on the google app engine, I took a crack at it today with Django appengine http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine Since it is based on django-nonrel, in theory it does not have vendor lock in to app engine, so you could start to develop there and move in house if you need to.

To that end, we have put together a little While Paper Reimagining METS: An Exploration http://bit.ly/cySIM1 suggested suplemental reading for Reimagining METS http://bit.ly/96vaFO From Nancy's message to the METS list [T]here is a session planned to discuss the White Paper at the CLIR / DLR Fall Forum (http://www.clir.org/dlf/forums/fall2010/index.html) on Tuesday, November 2nd, from 4 - 5:30 pm PDT at the DLF Meeting site in Palo Alto, California. While registration for that event is now closed, discussions by anyone interested including METS Board members will also occur on Wednesday afternoon at the open Board meeting, from 1:30 - 5 pm, PDT. An agenda for the open Board meeting on Wednesday and Thursday can be found on the METS wiki at: https://www.socialtext.net/mim-2006/index.cgi?agenda_3_4_november_2010_dlf_fall_forum. If you are interested in attending this meeting in person, please contact any of the Board members (see the METS website at http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/mets-board.html). We would like to make the meeting available via web conferencing as well, if possible, so please let a Board member know if you are interested in participation in the meeting by that means. I personally have questions about the need for a new XML Schema (w3c) for METS, and I'd like to understand what the goal of the new METS is before deciding what the form of a new METS is. Once, Mackenzie Smith was suggesting investigating METS as an RDF schema. Maybe if METS could be expressed in JSON, then they would be easy to work with from javascript web apps? Could METS become a metamodel of digital object existence that transcends the physical information serialization? Or, do we just try to harmonize with MODS/MADS and EAD/TEI/DDI etc. as they evolve as XML schema and wave at OAI-ORE? With alternatives to the fileSec like bagIt out there, could METS stand to be more modular so one maybe could keep the structMap in METS but point to files in a bag? Also, what about interoperability? This still seems like a good goal to me, an interoperable standard for digital object where I can download an object out of a repository and put it my own system without having to worry about customizing my systems to work with your stuff. METS sort of helps here, but ... not really that much more than having stuff in XML. What are your ideas about what direction METS should develop in to best meet the needs of the code4lib community? What annoys you about METS needs to be fixed? What about METS puzzles your? What do you love about METS and would hate to see changed?
