Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib North | Meetup!
Good news everyone! Looks like we have a consensus on two full days and both sets of dates seem to work for nearly everybody. I'll make an executive decision here and we'll go with the first set of dates - May 5th and 6th - day one being a hackfest and day two presentations, lightning talks, and BOAF. Since we have more-or-less voted to extend to a full day hackfest, we'll be on our own for lunch that day. We have a student centre right across from the library, a bar right across from the other side, or we can all pitch in and order a bunch a pizza. Lunch will be supplied on day two courtesy of the university. We can handle up to 50 people, so sign-up! I'd like to start a new tradition with Code4Lib North and deposit the slides and *maybe* recordings of the presentations in our IR. If people are cool with this, I can get it all setup prior to the event. You'll be able to select a CC-license of your choice. You can sign-up for talks on the wiki - same as last year. Hackfest: Send your hackfest problems to John Fink (jf...@mcmaster.ca) or myself. As we get closer to the date we'll start putting more info out regarding the details. Details: When: May 5-6, 2011 Where: Lyons New Media Centre, Mills Memorial Library, McMaster University, Hamilton Ontario Register: http://c4ln2011.eventbrite.com/ More info: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/North#Second_Meeting:_McMaster_University cheers! -nruest On 11-02-21 06:59 PM, Dan Chudnov wrote: Cool, I'll join you too if I can.

Re: [CODE4LIB] XML Schema vs Library APIs (OAI-PMH/SRU/unAPI)

You wrote: Referring to your blog post, you can say how the four inter-relate: Schema Identifier uniquely identifies the format. Schema Location is a non-unique description of the format. Schema Name is a short, human readable, non-unique name for the format and Namespace is a non-unique namespace used by the format. These definitions can help to clarify things, but they are of little practical value. The practical question is how to refer to a particular format. If you have to manually look at each particular server and collection to find out what format is *actually* served, then names and identifiers are of little help to code against. Both schema identifiers and schema names only help you to guess a format. A precise format needs an authoritative reference that you can validate against. If there exists an official XML Schema, this and only this schema defines the format (or the commonly agreed upon subset that you can work with without manually adopting each single data source). > A single schema may contain multiple namespaces, and there isn't a > unique identifier for a schema.

A unique identifier for a schema is helpful because you do not need to actually look up a schema that you already know by its identifier. But it's not a must. If there is no single root namespace, you just should not use a namespace to point to a particular format.
