[CODE4LIB] SV: A to Z lists
Hi, We are at the final stages of building an EBM system with AZ-list and OpenURL resolver developed in LAMP (with Ajax) which we will release into the public domain (AGPL).

[CODE4LIB] AGPL for libraries (was: A to Z lists)
Hej Tony! Great to hear of your effort; I hope you have chosen to implement the NISO 1.0 standard. I would urge you to carefully consider your choice of license, however. As I wrote last year when the issue came up in Koha, using AGPL in stead of the less restrictive GPL can have some unintended consequences. http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.com/2010/07/koha-community-considers-affero-license.html It is still a reality today that many library resources release api's that are provided only to customers and often come with interface licenses incompatible with GPL. If you use AGPL, a library that modified the software to use it with one of these resources would be in violation of your license, even if they did not redistribute the software. If that's your intention, then fine, but please make sure you understand the implications. Also, please don't confuse AGPL, which is a restrictive license rooted in copyright law, with public domain, which has no restrictions on use.

Hi, Great to hear of your effort; I hope you have chosen to implement the NISO 1.0 standard. I have no idea what the NISO standard is. The only standard followed is the OpenURL (currently 0.1) standard. But of course, this is an open source project, so I or anyone else can implemented it if needed. I would urge you to carefully consider your choice of license, however. As I wrote last year when the issue came up in Koha, using AGPL in stead of the less restrictive GPL can have some unintended consequences. http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.com/2010/07/koha-community-considers-affero-license.html Iteresting link :=) I focus mainly on code, and I am not that well-versed with different versions of open source licenses. I chose AGPL since it it seemed better adapted to server scripts. What I would want is a license that keeps the software free, and that people has to make improvements availible. Any suggestions?

Re: [CODE4LIB] EZB
No english documentation to my knowledge. If you want to become a member of the EZB you pay a small fee for their infrastructure and their staff maintaing the database. It's around 500 EUR a year. Very valuable! I am not aware of an API that let's you synchronize holdings registration automatically. Intersting idea anyhow. But you may do an export of your holdings, so this may work in the other direction. For a subset of the EZB members (for all those also using the ZDB) its is even possible to get in addition the availability of their print holdings. I am Switzerland based and the ZDB is not open to the world unfortunately. ZDB http://dispatch.opac.d-nb.de/DB=1.1/ But the EZB is open to any library in the world. Weak point is the UI has a german bias (e.g. comments), although there is an english UI. But you can live with that, specially if you create your own application using the API.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib North | Meetup!
Hey Folks, It is getting close to that time to start planning for another Code4Lib North meetup! In anticipation, John Fink and I have been working behind the scenes here at McMaster to convince our administration to allow us to throw in proposal to host it. We have tentatively booked up our Lyons New Media Centre for a half day on May 5, 2011 and the full day on May 6, 2011 or a half day on May 12, 2011 and the full day on May 13, 2011 - both a Thursday and Friday respectively. We can handle up to 50 participates and keeping with the precedent graciously set last year by Wendy Huot Queen's University, the university has agreed to handle lunch for the full day, and coffee/tea for a few times on the full day. When - May 5/6, 2011 or May 12/13, 2011 Where - Hamilton, Ontario - McMaster University - Lyons New Media Centre Format - Half day: Hackfest (I can book a full day hackfest if there is a call for it. We will just have to figure out lunch for that day on our own.) - Full day: 20-minutes talks, 5-minute lightning talks, BOAF sessions Let us know what you think. cheers!

Re: [CODE4LIB] A to Z lists
At Lehigh, I've extracted e-journals from our SirsiDynix Symphony catalog via API into alphabetical and discipline-based XML documents. We then index those documents with Swish-e (http://www.swish-e.org/) and display the browse-able XML alphabetized lists and search interface in our Drupal-based website. Drupal, however, has little to do with the A-to-Z list other than processing the PHP/XML/XSLT. The Discipline-based order is determined by a value defined in local MARC field. Our A-to-Z databases are NOT cataloged, so they are managed by a small PHP/MySQL app that two of our librarians control additions, deletions, and edits of metadata. You can see the interfaces here: General Library Site: http://library.lehigh.edu/ Specific Database Finder app: http://library.lehigh.edu/node?quicktabs_1=1#quicktabs-1 Special E-Journal A-Z app: http://library.lehigh.edu/node?quicktabs_1=2#quicktabs-1 Tim Tim McGeary Team Leader, Library Technology Lehigh University 610-758-4998 tim.mcge...@lehigh.edu timmcge...@gmail.com GTalk/Yahoo/Skype: timmcgeary On 2/17/11 1:18 AM, Markus Fischer wrote: The cheapest and best A to Z list i know is the german EZB: http://rzblx1.uni-regensburg.de/ezeit/index.phtml?bibid=Acolors=7lang=en This list is maintained by hunderds of libraries.

Re: [CODE4LIB] GPL incompatible interfaces
On 2/17/2011 12:50 PM, Eric Hellman wrote: If list members would like to name and shame GPL incompatible interfaces that they're stuck working with, have at it. If I'm mistaken and there are none left, then I'd like to know it. Well, the problem with viral licenses like GPL is that other licenses are essentially incompatible with them _unless_ they are open source -- at least if you want to share the product of your combination of those two libraries. You can't combine non-open-source code and GPL code in a single project. Personally, I much prefer non-viral type open source licenses like Apache or MIT for this reason. The GPL advocates argue that viral-type licenses like GPL are more free because nobody can take GPL code and turn it into a proprietary product. I see what they're trying to do. But from my perspective 'non-viral' open source licenses like Apache are 'more free' because it gives the user the freedom to combine Apache code with non-open-source code in a project. You can't do that with GPL, which seems less free to me. Jonathan

Re: [CODE4LIB] GPL incompatible interfaces
Somewhat on topic - I thought this might be relevant - The most recent episode of the Free as in Freedom Podcast/Oggcast is entirely about Copyleft and the basics of compatibility. You can check out the episode here: http://www.softwarefreedom.org/podcast/2011/feb/15/free-freedom-episode-0x09-copyleft-or-later-and-ba/ cheers! -nruest On 11-02-17 02:48 PM, Jonathan Rochkind wrote: On 2/17/2011 12:50 PM, Eric Hellman wrote: If list members would like to name and shame GPL incompatible interfaces that they're stuck working with, have at it. If I'm mistaken and there are none left, then I'd like to know it. Well, the problem with viral licenses like GPL is that other licenses are essentially incompatible with them _unless_ they are open source -- at least if you want to share the product of your combination of those two libraries. You can't combine non-open-source code and GPL code in a single project. Personally, I much prefer non-viral type open source licenses like Apache or MIT for this reason. The GPL advocates argue that viral-type licenses like GPL are more free because nobody can take GPL code and turn it into a proprietary product. I see what they're trying to do.

[CODE4LIB] stats for the conference video?
Hi IUers, Thanks for a great code4lib conference! It would be really neat to be able to see stats on how many people were watching the conference video stream at different points in the conference. If it isn't convenient to generate something like that in house at IU, perhaps the logs could be made available so that some tinkering code4lib'ers could play with the data (and generate nice charts, etc.) for the rest of us to ogle at? A mashup between video stats and IRC logs would also be fun. Thanks! Kevin
[CODE4LIB] graphML of a social network in archival context
Hi, As a part of our work on the Social Networks and Archival Context Project [1], the SNAC team is please to release more early results of our ongoing research. A property graph [2] of correspondedWith and associatedWith relationships between corporate, personal, and family identities is made available under the Open Data Commons Attribution License [3] in the form of a graphML file [4]. The graph expresses 245,367 relationships between 124,152 named entities. The graphML file, as well as the scripts to create and load a graph database from EAC or graphML, are available on google code [5] We are still researching how to map from the property graph model to RDF, but this graph processing stack will likely power the interactive visualization of the historical social networks we are developing. Please let us know if you have any feedback about the graph, how it is licensed, or if you create something cool with the data. -- Brian [1] http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/ [2] http://engineering.attinteractive.com/2010/12/a-graph-processing-stack/ [3] http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/ [4] http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/ [5] http://code.google.com/p/eac-graph-load/downloads/detail?name=eac-graph-load-data-2011-02.tar Research funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities http://www.neh.gov/
