[CODE4LIB] Fwd: [LAWDI] ISAW Papers 7 available
This may interest some people: current state of linked open data within classics/classical archaeology. These papers are from the NEH-funded Linked Ancient World Data Institute, held at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU in 2012 and Drew University in 2013. Ethan -- Forwarded message -- From: Sebastian Heath sebastian.he...@gmail.com Date: Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 6:58 PM Subject: [LAWDI] ISAW Papers 7 available To: la...@googlegroups.com la...@googlegroups.com Greetings All, ISAW Papers 7 is available at http://dlib.nyu.edu/awdl/isaw/isaw-papers/7/ . An important note: There is an update pending. The NYU library will get to that very shortly so please don't worry if the latest edits you sent me aren't visible at this moment. I think I'm completely caught up. That link had started to circulate - I bear some responsibility for that - and we've received queries as to the work's status, along with positive responses. So let's call it available and tweet, cite, use, etc. the content. That seems the LAWDI way. Second point: VIAF are IDs are still making their way through the system. I'll update as they become live. Many thanks to you all, and to repeat, tweeting, citing, linking from academia.edu or similar are all highly encouraged. Best, Sebastian. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups LAWDI group.

[CODE4LIB] New linked data set from North Carolina State University Libraries
NCSU Libraries has published its first linked data set, NCSU Organization Name Linked Data, at http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/ld/onld/. This data set is based on the NCSU Organization Name Authority, a tool maintained by the Acquisitions and Discovery department since 2009 to manage the variant forms of name for serial and e-resource publishers, providers, and vendors in E-Matrix, our locally-developed electronic resource management system. The names chosen as the authorized form reflect an acquisitions, rather than bibliographic, orientation. For example, in the Library of Congress Name Authority File, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is represented by its full name, whereas in the NCSU Organization Name Linked Data, it appears as IEEE, which is how it is generally known among acquisitions staff. Also, there many subsidiary units with valid headings in the LC Name Authority File but for the purpose of managing journals and electronic resources they are simply considered to be variant forms of name for the parent organization that manages acquisitions and licensing-related functions for the subsidiaries. The data in the NCSU Organization Name Linked Data is represented as RDF triples using properties from the SKOS, RDF Schema, FOAF and OWL vocabularies. Where possible, we included links to descriptions of the organizations in other linked data sources, including the Virtual International Authority File, the Library of Congress Name Authority File, Dbpedia, Freebase, and International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). These types of links are encouraged in Tim Berners-Lee's description of 5 Star Open Data and will enable users of the data to easily incorporate properties from these other linked data sources in future applications. The data set is made freely available with the Creative Commons CC0 License and can be downloaded as RDF-XML, N3/Turtle, N-Triples, JSON-LD or through RDFa embedded in the HTML page for each organization. We plan on periodically updating this data set with new organizations from our E-matrix system. This data set will also be the seed data for organizations in the Global Open Knowledgebase (GOKb) (http://gokb.org/), a freely available data repository with key publication information about electronic resources that will have its public release in September. As a part of NCSU’s lead role in the GOKb project, we are collaborating with the GOKb developers on future linked data initiatives involving title, package and platform data. For questions or reporting broken or incorrect links, please contact: Eric Hanson emhan...@ncsu.edu Electronic Resources Librarian Acquisitions Discovery NCSU Libraries
[CODE4LIB] Call for Survey Participation: DAMS Migration
Please excuse cross-postings Greetings: We are academic librarians who are interested in learning why institutions migrate from one digital asset management system to another. We are soliciting survey responses from information professionals at institutions which are migrating, have migrated, or will migrate to a new digital asset management system. The title of the survey is Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey. For the purposes of this survey, a digital asset management system (DAMS) is software that supports the ingest, description, tracking, discovery, retrieval, searching, and distribution of collections of digital objects [1]. Some examples of commonly used DAMS are: CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, DigiTool, Fedora, etc. Please note that this survey does not focus on systems used exclusively as institutional repositories, which we consider to be repositories that only provide access to the intellectual output of an institution [2]. The results from our survey will possibly lead to a publication in a professional journal and/or presentations at relevant professional conferences. If your institution meets these parameters, we would appreciate your participation in this survey. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and will not ask for or obtain any personally identifying information. You can access the survey here: https://uiuc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3aw56frpWbGLlgV If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us (information provided below). We look forward to seeing your responses and sharing the results of our research. Thank you.
