Hi Jonathan, To me, control character means ASCII less than 20. Pre-Unicode, control character was defined by hex 00-1F (C0) for a 7-bit character set plus hex 80-9F (C1) for an 8-bit character set. But, two, Michael, are you the doran in this?

Thanks Karen Looks like the OL code uses birth date + name, which is just what I was thinking of doing. Although you say it's to run against a wikipedia dump it looks like it should actually work with small changes against the wikipedia API too. But I need this in PHP so I'll have to pick through

Hi Karen Thanks for the code. As far as I can see though it doesn't actually solve my disambiguation problem - since identity_info.php just takes a name as input, it can't guess which of the people with this name is meant other than by using the most commonly referenced one, which in the OCLC

[CODE4LIB] exposing website visitor IP addresses to webcrawlers

Just out of curiosity, does anyone on this list have any opinions about whether website owners should publicly post lists of their visitors' IP addresses (or hostnames) and to also allow such lists to be indexable by search engines? For example:

Interesting question. I don't see the harm in doing so. It isn't the raw access logs, so one can't see what was accessed. It isn't useful as an attack vector because there is a mixture of servers/crawlers and desktop IPs there; one might just as well attack the entire address space. Peter

Ah, but why is it done and does it cause any harm are two different questions. I can't think of a good reason as to why. Perhaps it is something related to how the IETF is a non-profit org and there is a perceived requirement to make sure its resources are not being overly abused. Peter On
