Hi Tom,
I think it comes down to what you really mean by a book not having a
title. A few options I can think of:
1) This book was published without a title (or whatever verb you want
there if you want to cover unpublished material)
2) The author did not give this work a title
3) I've never heard

Yeah - we're using it for our "LibraryFind to Blacklight" conversion. We're
using the repo at https://github.com/bricestacey/ruby-zoom . Should just be
able to put it in your Gemfile as gem 'zoom', '~>0.4.1', :git =>
'https://github.com/bricestacey/ruby-zoom.git' and have it work.

It sounds like you're saying that you're going to make a one year

create the appropriate SPARQL queries in the background. This shouldn't

Hey all,
I'm wondering if there are any libraries out there using ruby zoom for z39.50
access. It looks like the last version of the gem was released in 2007, and I
haven't been able to get it to work with recent versions of Ruby.
I'm trying to get it to build on Ruby 1.9.3. Has anybody else h

Scott,
I agree with Kirsta, but in addition to technical staff you will absolutely
need someone who can develop and oversee policies associated with the IR, and
work with the communities who will be contributing contents. IRs are a service,
not a website or CMS (although the technology obviousl

Depending on the primary technologies you are using at your institution, you
could look at implementing the open source solution SobekCM. (

Hi Scott,
No numbers here, but I recommend budgeting for either a) ongoing
programmer involvement (staff), or b) support costs with an
appropriate company for the platform you choose. Minimizing the amount
of unique code a programmer has to write can also go a distance to
reducing ongoing costs.
It may be a fool's errand to ask how much it would cost to implement an
open source institutional repository, but here goes!
Let's first focus on open source and say that there won't be vendor costs
for ingesting or downloading materials, that we already have our own
purchased servers dedicated t
I don't think anyone would want to use one ontology for all work, especially
not a public ontology. I can imagine people using ontology extensions that are
specific to the purpose of validation, and I've found them useful myself.
I'm not arguing against using SPARQL for validation. I do think th

Yes, I mean that if you have something like:

then this approach only works for the dc:title element (putting aside for now
what you said about dc:title requiring a literal). For any other elements
