Re: [CODE4LIB] XML schema for describing software applications?

Hi, Corey! I went to NYU back in the days when the Bronx campus still belonged to NYU. Michael, Chris, Corey, thanks so much for all your input. I was sure when I described my project that I would learn that it's already been done to death. It's good to know that I may have stumbled onto relativ

Re: [CODE4LIB] XML schema for describing software applications?

Sharon, Michael, & others -- Within the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, the Tools Community is working on a Tools Application Profile. The AP is still in draft form, and draws heavily upon the DOAP namespace referenced by Michael. http://dublincore.org/groups/tools/map.shtml At present, the To

Re: [CODE4LIB] XML schema for describing software applications?

I think you'll find that OSD has died the death. Have you managed to find a copy of the DTD? You're probably better off with a more general metadata framework such as METS or RDF. There were some efforts at using RDF to describe RPM packages for GNU/Linux software but these are no longer mainta

Re: [CODE4LIB] XML schema for describing software applications?

Howdy Sharon, Not sure if this is perfect, but you might check out DOAP (Description of a Project). Quoth Wikipedia: "*DOAP* (Description Of A Project) is an attempt to make an RDF schemaand XML v

Re: [CODE4LIB] Citation parsing?

A year or so ago a couple of students looked into this for LibX. There are a number of systems that people have published about, although some are not available and none worked very well or were easy to get to work. The systems also varied in their computational complexity, with some not suitable

[CODE4LIB] XML schema for describing software applications?

Please forgive the cross-posting. For my final project in the class Digital Libraries, I am bringing together a "bibliography" ("appliography"?) of open source software applications and free web services that would be useful in the construction of digital libraries. (How self-referential can you

[CODE4LIB] Citation parsing?

Does anyone have any decent open source code to parse a citation? I'm talking about a completely narrative citation like someone might cut-and-paste from a bibliography or web page. I realize there are a number of differnet formats this could be in (not to mention the human error problems that alw

Re: [CODE4LIB] Quick Rails Question--FastCGI or modruby

Thanks Ross, Nathan and Mike. I've read bad things about both mod_ruby and FastCGI, but it's good to know which one you consider less sucky . . . . Andrew

Re: [CODE4LIB] Quick Rails Question--FastCGI or modruby

Ugh. Both suck. But.. FastCGI. I've never heard of anyone getting mod_ruby working properly with Rails... I think it starts the entire stack for each incoming request... which doesn't scale even if you're doing casual development work. -n On Jul 17, 2007, at 11:32 AM, Andrew Darby wrote: Hell

Re: [CODE4LIB] Quick Rails Question--FastCGI or modruby

Andrew, Of your choices, I would have to go with FastCGI. If 'getting it running' isn't your problem, it works pretty well. Plus mod_ruby has other issues: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/mod_ruby Good luck, -Ross. On 7/17/07, Andrew Darby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, all. I'm

[CODE4LIB] Quick Rails Question--FastCGI or modruby

Hello, all. I'm moving to a new server on my cheap hosted account, and have been presented with two Ruby options: FastCGI or modruby/eruby. I gather neither is the ideal option, but if you had to choose one right now--quick, which would it be? Thanks, Andrew
