XForms and Orbeon are very interesting tools for developing metadata management tools. The ONIX developers have used this stack to produce an interface for ONIX-PL called OPLE that people should try out. http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/pals3/onixeditor.aspx Questions about Orbeon

[CODE4LIB] Exploiting Library usage data (MOSAIC)

2009-11-13 Thread O.Stephens
I don't think this has made code4lib, and I thought that people might be interested to see the results of the recent 'MOSAIC' competition which challenged developers to find ways of exploiting library usage data (specifically circulation stats) The results were announced last month, and I

Nice job, Ethan. This looks really cool. We have an Orbeon-based MODS editor, but I have found Orbeon to be a bit tough to develop/maintain and more heavyweight than we really need. We're considering more Xforms implementations, but I would love to find a more lightweight Xforms application.

Thanks. I've looked into Chiba, but it doesn't really impress me. http://www.chiba-project.org:8080/chiba/ I don't mind Orbeon. It may have more features than I would ever use, but their support is fantastic. There are a lot of users and a very active listserv, and the developers always

Hey, how about this? I've been discussing this off list with Erik and Naomi and this is what we came up with (I also added it to the wiki): This is a proposal for several pre-conference sessions that would fit together nicely for people interested in implementing a next-gen catalog system.

+1, Bess! I'm especially psyched for the kata demonstrations and sparring matches we'll have at the end of the session :) I'll tinker with the advanced session description a bit when I can, but let's run with that for the time being. I'm happy to have Noami join me however she likes.

We've been using Orbeon forms for about a year now for cataloging our digital collections. We use Fedora Commons, so using the XML as input and outputting to XML seemed a no brainer. It has worked very nicely for editing VRA Core4 records. But, instead of doing anything terribly fancy with

In discussion with colleagues around this topic, the question of controlled vocabularies has been prominent. We're looking to move away from list instances that are packed into the XForm at render time to lists that are exposed from other services through REST interfaces, which can be
