Andrew,

I'd be interested. I'll sign up when I'm not on my phone.

[CODE4LIB] New Newcomer Dinner option

[Andrew Nagy]

Hi All - I just added another restaurant option to the newcomer dinner list
as the options are starting to look quite full.  I've listed Momiji - a new
japanese restaurant that I have been wanting to try and a very short cab
ride from the hotel.  If anyone signs up, I'll make a reservation.

What about Kinder Surprise eggs? It'll be my first time as well. :-)

Re: [CODE4LIB] Another Sharpie Opportunity

That is, more or less, an 84 hour plus wait time cab ride round trip
(guessing ~ $5k + tip + tolls). We would certainly be hungry when we
got there.

The conference organizers have (with good reason) closed the window on official

waitlisted participants. So unless they choose to publish the waitlist, we're 
stuck with the ad hoc grab bag system.

There might be a good way to use the wiki for this, but I'm not sure it's worth

Re: [CODE4LIB] implemented Microdata and/or Schema.org?

[Jason Ronallo]

Hi, Jerry,

You can see some links to the implementations I found in the appendix
to my Code4Lib Journal article.

HTML5 Microdata and Schema.org
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/6400

You can also see more links to implementations in the cultural
heritage sector, as well as other links to information about Microdata
and Schema.org, on my site:
http://jronallo.github.com/bookmarks/

If anyone implements Microdata and/or Schema.org in a library,
archive, or museum (or finds out about one), I'm still very interested
to learn about it.

Re: [CODE4LIB] barcode scanner with memory

[Joel Marchesoni]

I use QuickMark [1] for my scanning. The company has been around at least since 
I had a WinMo5 phone and used it on there. It does pretty much any code I've 
tried, shares to everything, and keeps a nice history. My only annoyance is 
that the free version doesn't start on the scanner. There's an in-app purchase 
to unlock that and other features. 

I have used one wireless but can't remember the name of it. A quick search on 
the Android market [2] pulls up a few; the first one by ID-SOFTWARE looks 
pretty nice and they claim it will scan to any OS.

Bluetooth might require rooting,  but building an android app that scans to  
wifi is fairly easy; they make it easy to use the scanner from your own apps -

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Journal Issue 16 is now available!

[Carol Bean]

(with apologies for cross-posting, especially if you have already received
the news!)

It is my pleasure to announce that Issue 16 of the Code4Lib Journal has
been published.

Please go to http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue16 for these excellent
articles:

Editorial Introduction 

Carol Bean

The winter months bring us festivities like Mardi Gras. Here at the
Code4Lib Journal, we present you with a veritable feast to indulge in as
our mid-winter festival offering. Consume slowly, to fully appreciate the
myriad flavors and enjoy the richness of the fare.
Creating a Seamless Cross-Platform Online Experience for Mobile
Users

Katherine Lynch

In creating a mobile-optimized website for Drexel University Libraries, we
have strived to preserve the seamless transition between platforms that our
desktop users experience. We employ separate technology and coding
solutions to make Drupal, WordPress, and HTML sections mobile optimized,
while continuously improving the mobile user experience in terms of design,
usability, and site performance. This paper details how, through extensive
research, design, and development, we found the best solution for creating
a steady mobile experience for our users.
HTML5 Microdata and Schema.org 

Jason Ronallo

On June 2, 2011,
Bing
, 
Google,
and 
Yahoo!
announced
the joint effort Schema.org . When the big search
engines talk, Web site authors listen. This article is an introduction to
Microdata and Schema.org. The first section describes what HTML5, Microdata
and Schema.org are, and the problems they have been designed to solve. With
this foundation in place section 2 provides a practical tutorial of how to
use Microdata and Schema.org using a real life example from the cultural
heritage sector. Along the way some tools for implementers will also be
introduced. Issues with applying these technologies to cultural heritage
materials will crop up along with opportunities to improve the situation.
Using VuFind, XAMPP, and Flash Drives to Build an Offline Library Catalog
for Use in a Liberal Arts in Prison
Program

Julia Bauder

When Grinnell College expanded its Liberal Arts in Prison Program to
include the First Year of College Program in the Newton Correctional
Facility, the Grinnell College Libraries needed to find a way to support
the research needs of inmates who had no access to the Internet. The
library used VuFind running on XAMPP installed on flash drives to provide
access to the Libraries’ catalog. Once the student identified a book, it
would be delivered from the Libraries to students on request. This article
describes the process of getting VuFind operating in an environment with no
Internet access and limited control of the computing environment.
Improving the presentation of library data using FRBR and Linked
data

Anne-Lena Westrum, Asgeir Rekkavik, Kim Tallerås

When a library end-user searches the online catalogue for works by a
particular author, he will typically get a long list that contains
different translations and editions of all the books by that author, sorted
by title or date of issue. As an attempt to make some order in this chaos,
the Pode project has applied a method of automated FRBRizing based on the
information contained in MARC records. The project has also experimented
with RDF representation to demonstrate how an author’s complete production
can be presented as a short and lucid list of unique works, which can
easily be browsed by their different expressions and manifestations.
Furthermore, by linking instances in the dataset to matching or
corresponding instances in external sets, the presentation has been
enriched with additional information about authors and works.
Presenting results as dynamically generated co-authorship subgraphs in
semantic digital library collections

James Powell, Tamara M. McMahon, Ketan Mane, Laniece Miller, Linn Collins

Semantic web representations of data are by definition graphs, and these
graphs can be explored using concepts from graph theory.  This paper
demonstrates how semantically mapped bibliographic metadata, combined with
a lightweight software architecture and Web-based graph visualization
tools, can be used to generate dynamic authorship graphs in response to
typical user queries, as an alternative to more common text-based results
presentations.  It also shows how centrality measures and path analysis
