I just wanted to, again, say thanks, in no particular order, to - The organizers - The presenters - The volunteers - The streamers - The people who voted on presentations (even though mine didn't make it, next time I'll make sure my entry starts with an 'A' and not a 'W') -

[CODE4LIB] Metadata

2012-02-10 Thread Patrick Berry
So, one question I forgot to toss out at the Ask Anything session is: When do you know you have enough metadata? You'll know it when you have it, isn't the response I'm looking for. So, I'm sure you're wondering what the context for this question is, and honestly there is none. This is geared

I think the answer is make sure you are able to add new elements to the store later, and keep around your source data and plan to be able to reprocess it. Something like what XC is doing. That way, you get to be agile at the beginning and just deal with what you *know* is absolutely needed, and

An interface is only as useful as the metadata allows it to be, and the metadata is only as useful as the interface built to take advantage of it. Ethan On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 4:10 PM, David Faler dfa...@tlcdelivers.com wrote: I think the answer is make sure you are able to add new elements

2012-02-10 Thread Diane Hillmann
Patrick: I can only ask: enough for what? If you haven't a solid idea of what you want the metadata to do, it's hard to evaluate either quantity or quality. Metadata is not static--if it's not regularly evaluated, improved and added to, it tends to lose its value and usefulness over time.

[CODE4LIB] neo4j

Hej hej, Is anyone is using neo4j in their library projects. If the answer is ja, I would be very interested in hearing how it's going. How are you using it? Is it something that is in production and is adding value or is it more a skunkworks-type effort? What languages are you using? Are you

Hi, AustLit ( http://www.austlit.edu.au ) is in the early stages of a migration from javaServlets/xslt/oracle to java/neo4j/gremlin. The web version of AustLit was developed in 2000 based on FRBR with a strong emphasis on events realised with a topic map model, so the sql implementation is close

Expanding on Diane's enough for what?, I see a lot of gradations possible in this task. Minimally, I can establish entity records for three persons, each of whom is assigned a unique ID: John Smith, ID=123 John Smith, ID=456 John Smith, ID=789 I decide to do this because I have three

Re: [CODE4LIB] Metadata

2012-02-10 Thread Andreas Orphanides
My take on enough for what? is this: What use cases do you have, both current and future? What sorts of queries and data displays are necessary and sufficient to fulfill those use cases? The collection of metadata involved in those displays and queries constitutes enough. Of course, this is

2012-02-10 Thread Suzanne Pilsk
I have to say that the biggest thing is that there is never enough so get use to the fact you always have to go back and adjust. You could try to over think it and come up with use cases… And you will potentially have spent time and money on data you are keeping for no reason and still be missing

Re: [CODE4LIB] RDF advice

2012-02-10 Thread Ross Singer
The whole advantage of RDF is that you can pull properties from different vocabularies (as long as they're not logically disjoint). So, assuming your richer ontology is some kind of RDF vocabulary, this exactly *what* you should be doing. -Ross. On Feb 10, 2012, at 4:31 PM, Ethan Gruber

Re: [CODE4LIB] RDF advice

2012-02-10 Thread Ethan Gruber
Hi Ross, No, the richer ontology is not an RDF vocabulary, but it adheres to linked data concepts. I'm looking to do something like this example of embedding mods in rdf: http://www.daisy.org/zw/ZedAI_Meta_Data_-_MODS_Recommendation#RDF.2FXML_2 These semantic ontologies are so flexible, it
