Hi Tony, Just in case it wasn't obvious, the source code is on GitHub [1]. As Ross said, please consider forking it and sending a pull request for any documentation improvements you want to do. //Ed [1] https://github.com/ruby-marc/ruby-marc On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 3:18 PM, Ross Singer

Re: [CODE4LIB] Documentation request for the marc gem

Thanks, Ed. That would have been a useful tidbit for me to have added :) Also, if there's interest, we can set up the Github Wiki for ruby-marc. There is some functionality that would be difficult to explain (including the pros and cons) about in the rdocs, such as the XML parsers (and to write

[CODE4LIB] Simple Web-based Dublin Core search engine?

Hi, I [will soon] have a small set ( 1000 records) of Dublin Core metadata published in OAI_DC format that I want to be searchable via a Web browser. Normally we would use Ex Libris's Primo for this, but this particular set of data may have some confidential information and our repository only

Re: [CODE4LIB] Simple Web-based Dublin Core search engine?

Hi Edward -- I am not sure if you're allowed to tweak normalization and pipe rules for the hosted Primo you have, but if the confidential information were in fairly consistent fields, you could either 1) make this a collection that is only searchable for authenticated Primo users or 2) define

Re: [CODE4LIB] Simple Web-based Dublin Core search engine?

Hi Pascal, Thanks for the Primo-suggestions. One thing I should probably have added besides some confidential information, the collection will also be only useful for a small number of scholars working with this specific collection and not something anyone else would probably be all that

Re: [CODE4LIB] Simple Web-based Dublin Core search engine?

These requirements fit Swish-e [1] to a T. I've used it to index millions of XML records [2], and there are no particular requirements for the XML -- it just needs to be well-formed. You can have it automatically detect and index XML fields as well as index all words across all fields. This is all

Thanks Roy, I will look into Swish-e. Edward On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 11:32 AM, Roy Tennant roytenn...@gmail.com wrote: These requirements fit Swish-e [1] to a T. I've used it to index millions of XML records [2], and there are no particular requirements for the XML -- it just needs to be

Re: [CODE4LIB] Simple Web-based Dublin Core search engine?

The new release of VuFind (1.1, due out this coming Monday) includes tools for OAI-PMH harvesting and ingestion of arbitrary XML formats (some Dublin Core examples are included). With a little bit of XSLT tweaking (and possibly implementation of a PHP class to customize record presentation),

Re: [CODE4LIB] Simple Web-based Dublin Core search engine?

I wonder if you might be able to load the file in PKP Harvester. http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=harvester It should already be able to parse and index OAI-DC, and would give you a nice, simple interface. It's based on a straight LAMP stack, which would make it easier to get up and running than some

Hi, I've done this by encoding the DC records in an OAI static repository, works great. Mark Mark Jordan Head of Library Systems W.A.C. Bennett Library, Simon Fraser University Burnaby, British Columbia, V5A 1S6, Canada Voice: 778.782.5753 / Fax: 778.782.3023 / Skype: mark.jordan50
