Re: [CODE4LIB] A right way for recording a place name?
Hi Ethan. I think I may be able to help answer part of your question. There's a Library of Congress Rule Interpretation to AACR2 23.2 (LCRI 23.2 Modification of the Name section 5) which states For U.S. townships (called towns in some states) that encompass one or more local communities and the surrounding territory, ... add the term after the name of the state. And gives the following example: 151 ## $a Kintire (Minn. : Township) So I guess there's a difference between Springfield, PA the town and Springfield, PA the Township, namely, that the latter includes more than just the town of Springfield.

Hi all, I've just about completed a new XForms-based interface for querying geonames.org to populate the geogname element in EAD. An XML representation of a geographical place returned by the geonames APIs includes its name, e.g., Springfield, country name, and several levels administrative names (Sangamon County, Illinois). Is there some sort of official way of textually representing a place? In LCSH, one finds: 1 Springfield (Bucks County, Pa.) 2 Springfield (Bucks County, Pa. : Township) 3 Springfield (Burlington County, N.J.) Why 1 and 2 are distinct terms in LCSH, I don't know. The mode for dealing with American place names seems to be [name of place] ([administrative name - lower level], [administrative name - upper level]). For a European city, we find Berlin (Germany) Are these examples in LCSH the most common way to textually record places, or are there other examples I should look at? Thanks, Ethan

Hey Daniel,
It looks like you used the worldcat template [1]:
{{worldcat id|id=lccn-n79-21614|VIAF=82088490}}
which doesn't actually do anything with the VIAF parameter. Instead
(or as well) you'll want to use the Authority control template:
{{Authority control|PND=118559796|LCCN=n/79/21614|VIAF=82088490}}
After I did that and the crawl ran again it showed up at linkypedia

Are there any guidelines us wikipedians should be using to increase the
likelihood of matches? I'm thinking in particular of the representation of
uncertain dates.
The first step in the process is identifying entries for people. The
presence of a Persondata block in the article is very helpful.
An unambiguous way to encode titles would help. Apparently there are markup
rules for titles, but they are much abused by editors using them to
emphasize text in articles and are unreliable to the point of being ignored.
Dates is not a big deal. Wikipedia records are full of dates and we cope
with fuzziness in dates reasonably well.
Are there perhaps 'ground truth' URLs such as links into identities / VIAF
which we can use? If so, what is the exact form of those URLs?
There is a template for entering WorldCat Identities URLs. I don't believe
there is one yet for VIAF.
We've been working for a couple of years now on getting permission to put
Identities and VIAF links into Wikipedia records. As it happens, several of
us in Research are meeting again on Thursday to discuss this. Apparently
there has been some sort of movement on that topic. Any help you can
provide would be appreciated!

Do you have any Chinese, Korean, or Japanese language specialists at your institution to whom you could pass along this brief survey (see link below)? They don’t need to have had direct experience with Lucene/Solr since this is really more about usability than the underlying technology. But it will help us better understand where to focus Lucene/Solr-based non-Roman script development efforts. Thanks for your help.

The purpose of this survey is to better understand how Chinese, Japanese and Korean scripts should be displayed and searched in library online catalogs and databases at North American libraries (not only “Yufind”). Your participation in this survey will help us identify the major issues, set priority and develop ideas towards solutions. To participate in the survey, please visit the Survey Monkey website: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/yufindCJKsurvey Your answers are very important to us in planning for a project to enhance multilingual / multi-script database capabilities to serve the East Asian studies community in the near future.

The survey announcement would be broadly cross-posted. Yet, please feel free to forward this invitation to your library colleagues (not only in East Asia library but also any public services, technical services and system, etc. staff to use CJK records), East Asia Studies faculty, students and colleagues who use our OPACs in the respective countries.

Re: [CODE4LIB] vuFIND -- long term direction
No intention to spoil our users and our fun with vuFIND. Just taking stock after 1-2 years of working with vuFIND, here are few general questions, Hi Yaaqov. Here's my take (and I'm cc'ing several of my colleagues in case they want to add or dispute anything): 1. is vuFIND primarily an experiment? if not why haven't more sites switched to production like VU or NLA? We consider it beta but still more than an experiment. We're planning enhancements this summer: regenerating our solr index with SolrMarc 2.0 (get spell checker, linked 880s, etc.), implement nightly syncs, implement patron empowerment features (CAS + MyResearch module) and add server redundancy; longer term we're planning to enhance the non-Roman script functionality, search engine optimization, and add non-MARC metadata (journal articles? Visual images? Government documents? We're still debating) . 2. is SOLR indexing satisfactory? I would say 'yes', though there's certainly a lot of customization we'd like to do. 3. how many staff are needed for vuFIND's viable maintenance? for developing/adding features? We've had a project manager and programmer analyst each at 50% over the past year, and smaller amounts of time allocated from usability, web design, systems, and other kinds of librarians. I would say we could have used much more (and we'll be ramping up this summer and beyond). 4. do we want vuFIND to measure up to the ILS (Voyager, Aleph, III, etc.) OPAC, or we like it as an alternative, for its discovery tools? As others have pointed out, VuFind is already superior to traditional OPACs in certain ways: relevancy ranking is extremely powerful. Faceted navigation is great, too, but there's a lot of tweaking that needs to be done in our case. The traditional OPAC is currently better at integrating authority files and displaying complex indexes (e.g., authors sub-arranged by titles) 5. what is plan B at your institution for when the vuFIND guru leaves? We're planning to continue running Voyager and VuFind in parallel. Developments are moving so fast, that it's hard to predict the landscape 5 years from now, but in the mean time, VuFind gives us an excellent open platform both for production and RD. 6. do we need someone to co-work with Andrew on the installation package? on keeping track of developments, road maps? Great idea. I think some of my Yale colleagues who are real programmers are planning to contribute code. I hope to contribute in other ways (e.g., on integration of authority files, analysis/enhancement of non-Western language functionality) 7. which collections, other than the catalog and OAI/repositories have we added? which API to other collections have we installed? are now tested? So far we've only indexed our catalog MARC data. We've done some testing of other record sets (e.g., visual image records). I'm sure many of us cope with these questions and could benefit from the variety of our replies. Kindest thanks, Ya'aqov Ziso, Electronic Resource Management Librarian, Rowan University 856 256 4804
