[CODE4LIB] Reference string parsing software available: ParsCit v080402
Hi: A while ago, we noted that some folks here had run into the problem of parsing reference strings (the lines at the end of a paper that points to other refereed work). When canonicalized, such data can be used to create citation networks and potentially used as in bibliometric measurements. Up to now, there have been several tools that have been released to do this type of work manually using templates but such approaches are often fragile. While there have been research reports on the subject (in computer science) such work has not been made into publicly available code libraries or packages. We have now made such a package available and hope that all of you who need to construct tools or use data from bibliographic sources will find it useful. There are accompanying web demos as well as a web service. You can find it by searching the web for ParsCit or by using the link below: http://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/parsCit/ This work is a joint collaboration between myself at the National University of Singapore and Isaac G Councill and C Lee Giles of Penn State University. They are the folks behind the CiteSeer and CiteSeerX scientific digital library systems. We look forward to your feedback.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Access to code4lib.org server--how to work it?
Okay, so new plan for access to code4lib server, since nobody stepped up to want to be an app admin junta. :) Subject to approval by Ryan and Jeff, of course. Recall that Ryan and Jeff at OSU say they are ready to grant shell access to code4libbers, but weren't sure how to figure out _who_ to grant access too--granting access to any random person that emails Ryan/Jeff seems like a bad idea of course! So they were open to suggestion from us. The idea last time was that there should be one or two or three people that take overall responsibility for app-level admin on that machine, who could then grant access to others. (Recall that Ryan is still overall root sysadmin responsible for OS stuff, just not for our apps). Which was a fine plan, but nobody said they wanted to do it. :) So new plan. If someone has a need for shell access (because they want to be responsible for management of one of our apps; Like the WordPress for the Journal; or the Drupal; or the wiki; or the planet; including possibly new apps that the code4lib community wants)---they email this code4lib list explaining what they are going to do, and that they are qualified to do it without messing it up. :) We, in our usual way, nit pick it to death and debate it. But eventually a rough consensus is reached. And Ryan grants the shell access. If someone thinks it's a horrible idea to give that person shell access, then I guess it doesn't go forward. I don't see the need for any actual 'voting', I think mostly it'll just work out. (For instance, Ryan already pre-emptively gave me shell access to add new feeds to the planet. If I had emailed the list and said that, which I'm doing now, everyone would have just ignored it and/or said, cool.) So?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Access to code4lib.org server--how to work it?
While I have no comment on this particular issue (since nobody wants me adminning *anything*), I would like to propose that before we set up any new services/applications on code4lib.org, we talk about whether or not any of the existing applications have functionality that could suffice. I guess my point is, the level of ambivalence that this thread is generating doesn't make me terribly hopeful for the longterm sustainability of volunteer service admins. -Ross.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Access to code4lib.org server--how to work it?
Good point, agreed. But we've got what we've got, and what we've got can work better if we don't rely on Ryan (who has another job) only to admin it. Even if we had an agreed moratorium on ever adding anything else, I still think we need to deal with a way to get other code4lib volunteers to have shell access. Examples are me doing the planet; Jon Brinley doing our WordPress install for the Journal; _someone_ taking on Wiki admin, which right now pretty much nobody is doing (which is maybe fine, it's working, but wouldn't we better off if someone did?). [ I will admit that I have a personal interest in _replacing_ the MediaWiki install with a DokuWiki install. But it's not fair to ask Ryan to do that. We used to have a 'trac' wiki on the old anvil code4lib, and when I asked Ryan to restore that functionality, he installed MediaWiki. Which is great, but I'd rather have dokuwiki. If I can convince someone to set it up for us. :) But I shouldn't have even brought this up, because even with no change to our suite of installed apps at all ever, I think we still need to deal with the shell access issue, right? When we put code4lib hosted at OSU, a selling point for some of us would be that shell access for volunteers was possible. I don't think it's fair to expect Ryan to do app-level admin beyond the bare minimum perhaps. But with more than the bare minimum, we can get better services! ] Jonathan Ross Singer wrote: While I have no comment on this particular issue (since nobody wants me adminning *anything*), I would like to propose that before we set up any new services/applications on code4lib.org, we talk about whether or not any of the existing applications have functionality that could suffice.

Re: [CODE4LIB] KR (was: Gartner on OSS)
I use pico too - but I use an alias to add command line switches automatically (-imw), so that un-sissifies it (a bit). Back when that was my choice, I used emacs exactly once, during which I removed every instance of the letter m from a lengthy document. (When I have to edit a file in my shell account, which is rare, I use pico... yes, I know that makes me a sissy *and I don't care.*)
