Hi everyone, Does anyone have experience looking up metadata via ISBN using publicly available APIs? I know of several that are available, but could anyone tell me which are worth using and which avoiding? Best wishes, Robert Berry
Re: [CODE4LIB] Drupal and mod_security
I am guessing that you have seen: http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2010/11/getting-drupal-and-mod-securit.html The bulk of the difficult issues with mod_security and Drupal seem to be version conflicts between mod_security and versions of Apache and other CentOS/RHEL/Fedora components.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Unified Digital Format Registry (UDFR) now available
I've recently had a need to find identifiers for programming conventions and syntax standards (e.g. regex, xpath). That seems more granular than the data the UDFR is dealing with, but I wonder if there are any other registries or collections that cover this sort of data. DBpedia is OK, but it doesn't get at different versions or implementations. Just curious... On Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 2:24 PM, Stephen Abrams stephen.abr...@ucop.eduwrote: The University of California Curation Center (UC3) is pleased to announce the availability of the Unified Digital Format Registry (UDFR). http://udfr.org/ The goal of the UDFR project is to unify the function and data holdings of PRONOM and GDFR into a new semantically-enabled, community-supported, open source registry of format representation information. The initial UDFR data were imported from the IANA MIME type registry and PRONOM, and include information about: * 846 file formats * 28 character encodings * 17 compression algorithms * 1,198 MIME types * 548 external signatures (file extensions) * 494 internal signatures (magic numbers) * 268 software packages * 156 agents The UDFR is based on the OntoWiki semantic wiki platform and the Virtuoso RDF quadstore. A user's guide to the UDFR, including an introductory Getting Started section, is available at http://udfr.org/docs. Use of the UDFR is open to the public, although contribution of new, or editing of existing, data requires prior self-service account registration. Development of the UDFR was generously supported by the Library of Congress as part of its National Digital Information Infrastructure Preservation Program (NDIIPP).
