[CODE4LIB] SerialsSolutions Javascript Question
I was intrigued by someone who posted to the Worldcat Developers Network forum. They were asking about the xISSN service and having it return whether an ISSN is peer reviewed or not. Which got me thinking...Has anyone been able to finagle a feature into their SerialsSolutions A-Z list where it shows peer reviewed status for the titles that are returned using a WC service? SS has limited editing capabilities on their page so the javascript question is this: Is it possible when being able to edit ONLY the header to alter span tags of a loaded web page using javascript? Can I insert some javascript in those sections that will scrape the ISSN number from these span tags and add some dynamic content from a web service using javascript alone? I'm not very proficient at javascript so be gentle. Mike Beccaria Systems Librarian Head of Digital Initiatives Paul Smith's College 518.327.6376
Re: [CODE4LIB] SerialsSolutions Javascript Question
I should clarify. The most granular piece of information in the html is a class attribute (i.e. there is no id). Here is a snippet: div class=SS_Holding style=background-color: #CECECE !-- Journal Information -- span class=SS_JournalTitlestrongAnnals of forest science./strong/spannbsp;span class=SS_JournalISSN(1286-4560)/span I want to alter the span class=SS_JournalISSN(1286-4560)/span section. Maybe add some html after the issn that tells whether it is peer reviewed or not.

Yes - you'd write code similar to this one:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(SS_JournalISSN).each(function () {
var issn = $(this).text().replace(/[^\dxX]/g, );
var self = this;
$.getJSON(http: xissn.oclc.issn= + issn +
format=jsoncallback=., function (data) {
$(self).append( data ... [ 'is peer reviewed' ] );
});
});
});

Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Linked Data
David, Could you elaborate a bit? In my mind, the only semantic web technology of any note is linked data. How that fits into library search is anyone's guess, and I'm wondering what, specifically, you're referring to when you say that Talis is active in this area. If you are asking about library linked data, then there are several examples, most notably the Library of Congress[1], the Swedish Union Catalogue [2], and OCLC[3][4]. I believe that a minimum both the Library of Congress and OCLC plan on releasing more linked data sets. So can you elaborate a bit more on what, exactly, you're seeking? Thanks, Roy [1] http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.libraries.ngc4lib/4617 [3] http://dewey.info/ [4] http://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing/2009/09/viaf-as-linked-data.html On 10/28/09 10/28/09 7:31 PM, David Kane dk...@wit.ie wrote: Hi Folks, I was wondering if anyone was aware of semantic web technologies being used in the context of libraries and library search?

I'm guessing that Roy meant linked data in the sense of http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html and http://linkeddata.org/ The classic linkeddata.org diagram includes PubMed, Project Gutenberg, PubChem, several forks(?) of DBLP and eprints, all of which I recognise as library-related (or at least collections-of-bibliographic-content related, depending on where one draws lines). cheers stuart -- Stuart Yeates http://www.nzetc.org/ New Zealand Electronic Text Centre http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/ Institutional Repository

I guess I was trying to smoke out his reasoning for choosing linked data as the only worthwhile semantic web technology. Let me clarify, and have a look at this ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web_Stack Linked data is the bottom four boxes out of a total of 12 (13 if you count the top one), where the ones missing is things like Trust, Proof, Logic, Querying, Ontologies and Taxonomies, all things that I thought it was evident belonged at the core of what library science is all about. It simply astounds me the lack of understanding from the library world on these things, so sad to see that these things aren't linked up; you *are* what these things are about! Sure, linked data is easier; that's why everyone is doing it, have been doing it for years. But you're missing out in fields that should be second-nature to you.
