Re: [CODE4LIB] One Data Format Identifier (and Registry) to Rule Them All

I just wanted to be sure that the larger extent of this problem was raised. Two (or 4) groups solving the issue is a great start. However what you learn here may not be applicable in the large. And some of us do have this large problem today. So we work through it in small steps in an extensib

Technically it's 4 communities, but, yes, only two currently have "credible" registries in place. -Ross. On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 9:28 PM, Jonathan Rochkind wrote: > Crosswalk is exactly the wrong answer for this. Two very small overlapping > communities of most library developers can surely agr

Re: [CODE4LIB] One Data Format Identifier (and Registry) to Rule Them All

Crosswalk is exactly the wrong answer for this. Two very small overlapping communities of most library developers can surely agree on using the same identifiers, and then we make things easier for US. We don't need to solve the entire universe of problems. Solve the simple problem in front of y

Re: [CODE4LIB] One Data Format Identifier (and Registry) to Rule Them All

Some further observations. So far this threadling has mentioned only trying to unify two different sets of identifiers. However there are a much larger number of them out there (and even larger numbers of schemas and other "standard-things-that-everyone-should-use-so-we-all-know-what-we-are-talk

Re: [CODE4LIB] One Data Format Identifier (and Registry) to Rule Them All

Thanks, Ross. For SRU, this is an opportune time to reconcile these differences. Opportune, because we are approaching standardization of SRU/CQL within OASIS, and there will be a number of areas that need to change. Some observations. 1. the 'ofi' namespace of 'info' has the advantage that

[CODE4LIB] One Data Format Identifier (and Registry) to Rule Them All

Hello everybody. I apologize for the crossposting, but this is an area that could (potentially) affect every one of these groups. I realize that not everybody will be able to respond to all lists, but... First of all, some back story (Code4Lib subscribers can probably skip ahead): Jangle [1] re

Re: [CODE4LIB] registering info: uris?

From: "Ross Singer" Except that OpenURL and SRU /already use different info URIs to describe the same things/. info:srw/schema/1/marcxml-v1.1 info:ofi/fmt:xml:xsd:MARC21 or info:srw/schema/1/onix-v2.0 info:ofi/fmt:xml:xsd:onix What is the rationale for this? None. (Or, whatever rational

Re: [CODE4LIB] Recommend book scanner?

How good are the two-camera apparatuses for scanning things other than books? The thing about the Google and Kirtas scanners is that they are not particularly recommended for dealing with fragile books or otherwise special collections materials. The University of Virginia Library is still using t

Re: [CODE4LIB] registering info: uris?

So hey, I'm nobody wanted to see this thread revived, but I'm hoping you info uri folks can clear something up for me. So I'm trying to gather together a vocabulary of identifiers to unambiguously describe the format of the data you would be getting in a Jangle feed or an UnAPI response (or any ot
