   Hello community,
  
   could you please suggest me the best way to treat the following use
 case:
  
   We have a lot of pdf files, which have in them a lot of links
   (terms), referring to different pages in the same pdf, or to a page in
   another pdf file. Noticed that links do not behave well, when opened
 for
   example with the default google chrome's pdf reader. So my aproach is
 to
   force download the pdf. So the situation is getting mixed: One has a
 pdf
   stored locally, and all the links load again the pdf, to be read
  online...
  
   Do you have any ideas, best practice i could follow, so as to make this
   work in a better way?
  
   Best
  
   p.s. we are using drupal to serve the pdf files, but i guess this is
   irrelevant...

 Hello,

 I'm trying to locate a downloadable copy of the LC Classifications (LCC)

 it's very time-consuming (https://archive.org/details/LcClassificationA-z

 The LC linked data group has a search interface to a few classes, but it's
 a download of the whole thing I'm after and they say it's not available.
 Seems like it should be, being government-funded and all...

 Any ideas?

[CODE4LIB] OPF Knowledge Base Wiki

[todd.d.robb...@gmail.com]

I just came across this wiki [http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/KB/Home],
and wondered if it was new. I've been following and assisting (in small
ways) with COPTR and DigiPres Commons but didn't know about this resource.

PS: Did OPF recently re-brand? I thought they were the Open Planets
Foundation? I like the change as it is more reflective of the
organization's work.

 Casey, I have some suggestions:
 
 1) Everyone should read at least the first chapters of the Allemang
 book, Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist:
 
 http://www.worldcat.org/title/semantic-web-for-the-working-ontologist-effe
 ctive-modeling-in-rdfs-and-owl/oclc/73393667
 
 2) Everyone should understand the RDF meaning of classes, properties,
 domain and range before beginning. (cf:
 http://kcoyle.blogspot.com/2014/11/classes-in-rdf.html)
 
 3) Don't lean too heavily on Protege. Protege is very OWL-oriented and
 can lead one far astray. It's easy to click on check boxes without
 knowing what they really mean. Do as much development as you can without
 using Protege, and do your development in RDFS not OWL. Later you can
 use Protege to check your work, or to complete the code.
 
 4) Develop in ntriples or turtle but NOT rdf/xml. RDF differs from XML
 in some fundamental ways that are not obvious, and developing in rdf/xml
 masks these differences and often leads to the development of not very
 good ontologies.

  From the article:

  Probably because, and correct me if I'm wrong, using question marks in a

  So, has anyone successfully implemented this? Is it even worth it? I'm

Re: [CODE4LIB] Forwarding blog post: Apple, Android and NFC – how should libraries prepare? (RFID stuffs)

[todd.d.robb...@gmail.com]

Of interest to the initial discussion topic:

http://google.github.io/physical-web/

What is this?

 The Physical Web is an approach to unleash the core superpower of the web:
 interaction on demand. People should be able to walk up to any smart device
 - a vending machine, a poster, a toy, a bus stop, a rental car - and not
 have to download an app first. Everything should be just a tap away.

 The Physical Web is not shipping yet nor is it a Google product. This is
 an early-stage experimental project and we're developing it out in the open
 as we do all things related to the web. This should only be of interest to
 developers looking to test out this feature and provide us feedback.

 We’re pleased to announce a new version of our open-source document image
 viewer, Diva.js. Diva.js is especially suited for use in rare and archival

 even the smallest detail present on the physical object. Using Diva,
 libraries, archives, and museums can present high-resolution document page
 images in an “instant-on” interface with a user-friendly interface that has
 been optimized for speed and flexibility.

 New features in Diva.js 3.0:

  • Several speed optimizations – Documents load and scroll faster.
  • In-browser (JavaScript) image manipulation – Adjust page brightness,
 contrast, and rotation.
  • Improved mobile device support – Tap and pinch to navigate through
 documents.
  • Horizontal orientation – Switch between the default vertical page
 layout and a horizontal scrolling layout.
  • Events system – Allows you to pass streaming data from the document
 viewer into your own website and plugins.
  • Improved and updated documentation:
 https://github.com/DDMAL/diva.js/wiki.
  • A new website.
  • Numerous of bug fixes.

 For more information, demos, and documentation visit

 Hi all

 Does anyone have a suggestion for the free open-source Q/A board + easily
 searchable KB comparable to LibAnswers? We already have LibAnswers for
 patrons. This is more for the library staff who submits a lot of similar or
 same questions to the Library IT help desk.

 It is an option to use the SharePoint Discussion Board but I am looking
 for an alternative since SP tends to get lukewarm responses from users in
 my experience.

 Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated.

 ORCiDs across their systems from a recent ORCiD event:

 [cid:image001.jpg@01CF79CD.64C36FA0]



 Individual academics (especially grant-related folks) should get and use
 ORCiDs, which either the individual can register for or their affiliate
 institutions may assign in batches with an institutional membership.  An
 ISNI, in contrast, may be assigned to an individual, often for
 rights-tracking purposes, as in the case of recorded performances.  Also
 ISNIs can be given to organizations (corporate bodies, in catalogerese)
 while ORCiDs are only for individuals.

Dan,

Here's a great list Ben Brumfield has put together that compares a lot of
the options out there (note: there are quite a few in here that are for
manuscript stuff):

Re: [CODE4LIB] Local catalog records and Google, Bing, Yahoo!

[todd.d.robb...@gmail.com]

Sean,

That's awesome. Any idea why Blacklight seems to be more discoverable? I
live in Seattle and the KCLS (public system) catalog is powered by
Evergreen but doesn't show up at all.

Tod

Re: [CODE4LIB] Local catalog records and Google, Bing, Yahoo!

[todd.d.robb...@gmail.com]

Karen,

I had a similar thought. How hard would it be, even as an experiment, to
associate geolocation to local records? Therefore the records of
institutions (I'm speaking of physical resources primarily) would be
relevant to a person's query based upon their location, which of course
would play out more fully for mobile users than desktop contexts.

Thoughts?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Koha in the Running

[todd.d.robb...@gmail.com]

Thanks all!

I am more curious about the general utility of Koha since each organization
will have different needs. I'm just thrilled to see Koha spreading and the
launch of foss4lib and other exciting developments in the LAM communities
as of late.

Cheers,

Tod

[CODE4LIB] Koha in the Running

[todd.d.robb...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I'm curious to know of this lists current thoughts on Koha as an ILS. Where
would you rank it among the various options, open source and vendor?

Cheers,

Tod

PS: If this has been addressed recently and I just happened to miss it in
the archives: my apologies.

[CODE4LIB] LAMlab in Seattle

[todd.d.robb...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I just formed a meetup/group/workshop/hackathon/hangout/et al for anyone
interested in innovating within the libraries, archives and museums space
for the Seattle area. It's just a few of us at this point, mostly MLIS
students at UW, but we'd love to have practitioners participate/lead. We
want it to be like barcamp, et al, where it's a project-focused approach to
moving the fields forward. Our first meetup with be about rethinking the
library catalog, hopefully before the end of October. Anyhow, more to come
on our blog: http://lamlabseattle.wordpress.com/

If you could let your Seattle people(s) know, we'd be thrilled.

Cheers,

Tod
