Re: [Simile-Widgets] Re: Exhibit sorting problem

2010-09-17 Thread David Karger
 I've checked in a (apparently) working version of the xml importer to 
trunk.   I changed one attribute name to be more informative 
(propertyLabels---labelTags) and updated the wiki to reflect the 
change.  I'll be continuing to fiddle with this importer, but feel free 
to try it out and offer feedback in the meantime.

Hi Mike,

Under ex:orders, try inserting the two periods that should precede
authors. If that doesn't work, back up and see if the sort function
will work on *any* of the fields, especially the one-placename ones.

My thanks, too, to David for pointing out the XML importer page.
Although it's not clearly written, it may help me reconsider a few
problems I'm encountering.

Hmm - never had any problems getting the exhibit to display here (and
it still works for me right now). It does everything it should:
faceting, etc. It just doesn't sort.

Given RDF data of the form that Zotero spits out:

 bib:Book rdf:about=urn:isbn:9780826515322
 dc:date2006/dc:date
 dc:identifierISBN 9780826515322/dc:identifier
 dc:publisher
 foaf:Organization
foaf:nameVanderbilt University Press/foaf:name
 /foaf:Organization
 /dc:publisher
 dc:titleA Shot In The Dark/dc:title
 bib:authors
 rdf:Seq
 rdf:li
 foaf:Person
 foaf:givennameMartin/foaf:givenname
 foaf:surnameHawkins/foaf:surname
 /foaf:Person
 /rdf:li
 /rdf:Seq
 /bib:authors
 z:itemTypebook/z:itemType
 /bib:Book

Should this do the job?

div ex:role=collection ex:itemTypes=Book/div
 div ex:role=view ex:orders=authors.surname, authors.givenname
ex:directions=ascending, ascending ex:showAll=true/div

The answer has to be no, since it doesn't. But why?

Right now, the xml reader seems to introduce new complexity, but if
that's the only way to solve the problem, I'll have to deal with that.
Frustrating that the live example on the wiki which is about books
doesn't work.

  Mike, when I try to examine the exhibit I get a failed to load js file
error---it's having trouble reading the results returned from babel.
in case it simplifies your pipeline, you might consider using the build-in
xml reader now part of trunk.simile-widgets.org .  You should be able to set
it to parse your rdf-xml:

I'm working on a simple book collection exhibit based on an RDF export
from Zotero. The problem I'm encountering is in getting the items to
sort alphabetically by author name. I've figured out how to get the
first name and last name to display in the lens and I've figured out
how to get last name to appear as a facet (would love to have that be
last, first combined instead, if that's possible). But when trying
to use those identical terms (authors.surname and authors.givenname)
in ex:orders, I get what just seems to be random order. I suspect it
might have something to do with nodes and is probably an easy fix. Any
assistance gratefully received.

 Just a quick clarification: by two periods I didn't mean you should
 insert .. anywhere, but that one period should be placed before each
 of the two instances of authors in the ex:orders attribute. (I'm not
 suggesting this clarification will bring success.)
