[CODE4LIB] Update of FCIG report - new Appendix C regarding OLF

Hi, The FCIG's report has been updated to add an Appendix C containing the responses of the Open Library Foundation to our questions. The updated report is available in various formats: * Wiki: https://wiki.code4lib.org/FCIG_Report * PDF: https://wiki.code4lib.org/images/a/a0/Fcig_report.pdf *

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

It's hard to quantify or qualify how significant MarcEdit has been for many staff in libraries. Terry has saved people untold work though his own work. And, indeed, made things possible that (given the lousy tools we spend tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars for each year) would never

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

Thank you all for the clarifications and for the pointer to VIAF. If I decide to use VIAF, I will make sure I pull the LCNAF ID for the name record and reconstruct the LC URI to store in the $0 field. Or maybe I will store both the VIAF URI in the $1 and the LCNAF URI in the $0. I was vaguely

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

If you use VIAF, this value shouldn't go into the $0. This value goes into the $1 -- the $0 has been set aside to handle the URI to the actual semantic object, the $1 is set aside for aggregations like VIAF. --tr On Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 1:08 PM, Alexander Duryee

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

Yes, Kevin is correct. MarcEdit does have this functionality, and a number of controlled vocabularies from a number of national libraries are defined as well. MarcEdit automatically can reach out to pretty much any of the services that are defined within the $2. --tr On Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

Josh, Depending on your planned workflow, we've had better results for programmatic authorization using the VIAF API ( https://www.oclc.org/developer/develop/web-services/viaf.en.html) - and storing its LCNAF identifier after sifting through the results - than using the native id.loc.gov API.

And since Terry just responded rather humbly, allow me to plug his MarcEdit: http://marcedit.reeset.net/adding-localcustom-linked-data-resolution-to-marcedits-linked-data-tool I was just looking into this reference as his email arrived. Anyways - take a look at MarcEdit. I believe it is

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

The $0 is the correct field, but you would not link to this value: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85095334 not the HTML page. The $0 and $1 are reserved for machine readable endpoints. They should *not* include links to HTML pages. --tr -Original Message- From: Code for

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

Yes, I believe it is $0, but if you insert a URI you do not include a parenthetical notation. See: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ecbdcntf.html All that said, best check with a cataloger. HTH, Kevin On 8/25/17 11:37, Josh Welker wrote: Related question: I want to store linked data

Re: [CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

Related question: I want to store linked data URI references in my MARC records. If I want to store the URI to an LC Name Authority entry such as this one (http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2010056162.html), what is the best way to do that? My guess would be to store it in a 100 control

There's no reason to screen scrape the results. The label service permits the use of the "Accept" header. For example: curl -i -L -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://id.loc.gov/authorities/label/orchids Take note of the initial set of response headers: HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND Location:

Thanks, Nathan. That looks like it will work if I do it manually, but there is no interface for doing it programmatically. Is LC okay with me screen scraping the search results? Joshua Welker Information Technology Librarian James C. Kirkpatrick Library University of Central Missouri Warrensburg,

You can try our "label" service. See under "known label retrieval" here: http://id.loc.gov/techcenter/searching.html I would be glad to help further. Thanks, Nate - Nate Trail Network Development & MARC Standards Office LS/ABA/NDMSO LA308, Mail Stop 4402

[CODE4LIB] Searching LC Name Authority file programmatically

I have sort of inherited authority control recently at my library, and I want to find some way to automate some common workflows. I am looking for an easy way to query blind name references against the LC Name Authority master file. There is no API for searching it on the web, and the name file
