Re: [CODE4LIB] Examples of Web Service APIs in Academic Public Libraries

The training data is not currently under source control (it's in the database), but the trained model is. That's, admittedly, a bit of a downside to my fork (although the model being checked into git is true of the original, as well) since you'd always be in conflict with my trained model if you

Dear Fellow Dataists, We have gotten some great feedback on tools used for messing with metadata. Included in some of the comments is either explicitly or implied “use cases”. For those who have *some good “stories” about what they want to do with the data* – can you share that? Want a tool

If someone else were getting started and didn't want to assemble their own training data -- do you think it would be likely useful for them to aggregate your training data _and_ Brown's training data together and generate a new model? Was there a particular reason you chose not to use Brown's

Thanks everybody! this is useful for a couple of purposes 1) sometimes we have records that have call numbers, but no subject headings. this would be useful to provide those. 2) i'm thinking of providing a 'subject heading' label to our shelf browser -- so users see, in addition to the callnumber

For #1, you need what you asked for, probably, if you want the subject headings to be consistent with other LCSH on the rest of your records. For #2, you can provide a useful topical/subject type heading via much simpler and more feasible solutions than mapping to LCSH. For #2, you don't

Ah, but we're not talking about entry vocabulary, we're talking about labelling shelf ranges. But I agree that the headings for LCC will be less user friendly than LCSH. If there was a way to get LCC-to-LCSH mappings in an easily usable way without paying tens of thousands of dollars, that
