 seems like this wouldn't be a bad way to go.


The only file format that I'm aware of that has a provision for this is FITS 
(Flexible Image Transport System), which was a concept of a 'CHECKSUM' and a 
'DATASUM'.  (the 'DATASUM' is the checksum for only the payload portion, the 
'CHECKSUM' includes the metadata)[1].  It's possible that there are others, but 
I suspect that most consumer file formats won't have specific provisions for 
this.

The problems with 'metadata' in a lot of file formats is that they're just 
arbitrary segments -- you'd have to have a program that knew which segments 
were considered 'headers' vs. not.  It might be easier to have it be able to 
compute a separate checksum for each segment, so that should the modifications 
change their order, they'd still be considered valid.

Of course, I personally don't like changing files if I can help it.
If it were me, I'd keep the metadata outside the file;  if you're using BagIt, 
you could easily add additional metadata outside of the data directory.[2]

If you're just doing this internally, and don't need the DOI to be attached to 
the file when it's served, you could also look into file systems that support 
arbitrary metadata.  Older Macs used to use this, where there was a 'data fork' 
and a 'resource fork', but you had to have a service that knew to only send the 
data fork.
Other OSes support forks, but some also have 'extended file attributes', which 
allows you to attach a few key/value pairs to the file.  (exact limits are 
dependent upon the OS).

Re: [CODE4LIB] Automatically updating documentation with screenshots

Owen,

A number of years ago I saw this video 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMnZiTL0tUc about doing pixel diffs (or pdiff 
as they call it) for UI elements on a web application. It sounds like it might 
be part of the answer you are looking for. Something like, run pdiff on all 
pages that are documented, if different run script to capture images again, and 
have user/developer check changes.

I don't know of an automated way to generate user documentation with 
screenshots, but it sounds like it might be useful.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Automatically updating documentation with screenshots

I work on a web application and when we release a new version there are often 
updates to make to existing user documentation - especially screenshots where 
unrelated changes (e.g. the addition of a new top level menu item) can make 
whole sets of screenshots desirable across all the documentation.

I'm looking at whether we could automate the generation of screenshots somehow 
which has taken me into documentation tools such as Sphinx 
[http://sphinx-doc.org] and Dexy [http://dexy.it]. However, ideally I want 
something simple enough for the application support staff to be able to use.

Anyone done/tried anything like this?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Checksums for objects and not embedded metadata

2015-01-26 Thread Bert Lyons
Kyle --

Although my example doesn't apply for all file formats, it does give an
example of what you're looking for:

BWFMetaEdit (
http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/guidelines/digitize-embedding.html)
is free tool developed by Federal Agency groups to allow for the
reading/writing of metadata into the BWF and RIFF (BEXT  INFO
respectively) text chunks of WAV audio files. The salient point here is
that this approach was designed with the ability to generate and embed a
checksum of the PCM audio stream within the WAV container so that as new
metadata are added to the container, the audio can be validated against its
specific checksum, not a checksum of the entire container. In this
practice, one can generate a checksum for the audio information (the
content) and for the entire file itself (the content and the metadata).

Take a read through that and maybe it will inspire some ideas.

I know in the moving image field there is also much activity around frame
by frame checksums for moving image material so that when a file is found
to be corrupt, you can even pinpoint which frame has the corruption.

One potential problem with ribbons is that there may be ribbon-fans who
also don't want to be photographed, and a blank ribbon in the midst of a
sea of others might get lost.

One option might  be to choose a bright color (red might be a good
mnemonic) and have participants who don't want to be photoed put it on the
SIDE of their badge -- the special location would be a good indicator that
the ribbon has importance and would make it stand out. We'd need to ensure
that everyone got the message about what the ribbon meant, though.

[CODE4LIB] Conference photography policy

2015-01-26 Thread Galen Charlton
Hi,

I would like to propose that C4L adopt a policy requiring that consent
be explicitly given to be photographed or recorded, along the lines of
a policy adopted by the Evergreen Project. [1]

Evergreen's policy was adapted from AdaCamp's photography policy. A
blog post from Ada Initiative outlines their reasons for adopting the
policy [2], but to summarize, some people simply dislike being
photographed, while for others, being photographed without their
consent or knowledge could expose them to personal danger (e.g., from
stalkers).

Consequently, it is possible that some folks who would otherwise be
interested in going to Code4Lib may be unable or unwilling to attend
absent a policy that allows them to opt into being photographed.
Whether or not that is currently the case, I have heard from people
who have expressed discomfort with being photographed.

In the past, such policies have been implemented via use of colored
(and patterned) lanyards.  If such a policy is adopted, it may be
impractical to source such lanyards in time for the 2015 conference,
but alternatives such as stickers may be doable.  But regardless of
whether a photography policy is adopted, I would encourage attendees
to ask for consent before taking photographs.

I think that requiring explicit permission from presenters is overly burdensome 
for the crew that is struggling to get the recordings up. I think that speakers 
and presenters should be informed that all presentations may be recorded and 
made available to the public unless they inform the conference committee that 
they do not want to be recorded before their presentation begins.

If they object, the video crew will refrain from capturing their presentation.

If we do screen capture again, it is possible that presenter could have the

I think this is all good stuff too, but my old Hippy soul cringes at 
unnecessary paperwork.  A consent form means nothing.  Situations change.  Even 
a well-intended agreement sometimes needs to be reneged on.  I think it's just 
best that the presenters understand what the best hopes for their presentation 
are, that they express what their actual plans are and the hosts need to be 
flexible enough to accommodate changes.

We would definitely want to both give notice to the presenters that the
plan is to record and to get consent (or dissent) ahead of time, so that we
can plan AV appropriately if someone does not want to be broadcast. It
would be awful to broadcast someone who didn't consent to it; nor would we
want to have to disrupt things in progress to adjust for an unexpected
dissent that should/could have been expected.

Besides putting the final version of the policy on the conference
website, I think mentioning it (and for that matter, the general code
of conduct) during the announcements and housekeeping periods each
morning would be a good way to do it.  For next year, it could be
included on the registration website, and if the conference does

Re: [CODE4LIB] Checksums for objects and not embedded metadata

2015-01-26 Thread danielle plumer
Kyle,

It's a bit of a hack, but you could write a script to delete all the
metadata from images with ExifTool and then run checksums on the resulting
image (see http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=4902.0).
exiv2 might also work. I don't think you'd want to do that every time you
audited the files, though; generating new checksums is a faster approach.

I haven't tried this, but I know that there's a program called ssdeep
developed for the digital forensics community that can do piecewise hashing
-- it hashes chunks of content and then compares the hashes for the
different chunks to find matches, in theory. It might be able to match
files with embedded metadata vs. files without; the use cases described on
the forensics wiki is finding altered (truncated) files, or reuse of source
code.  http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ssdeep

 - Is your content in an instance of Fedora, a unix file structure, or
 something else?
 - Are you generating checksums on the whole package, parts of it,
 both?
 

 The quick answer to this is that this is a low tech operation. We're
 currently on regular filesystems where we are limited to feeding md5
 checksums into a list. I'm looking for a low tech way that makes it easier
 to keep track of resources across a variety of platforms in a decentralized
 environment and which will easily adopt to future technology transitions.
 For example, we have a bunch of stuff in Bepress and Omeka. Neither of
 those is good for preservation, so authoritative files live elsewhere as do
 a huge number of resources that aren't in these platforms. Filenames are
 terrible identifiers and things get moved around even if people don't mess
 with the files.

 We also are trying to come up with something that deals with different
 kinds of datasets (we're focusing on bioimaging at the moment) and fits in
 the workflow of campus units, each of which needs to manage tens of
 thousands of files with very little metadata on regular filesystems. Some
 of the resources are enormous in terms of size or number of members.

 Simply embedding an identifier in the file is a really easy way to tell
 which files have metadata and which metadata is there. In the case at hand,
 I could just do that and generate new checksums. But I think the generic
 problem of making better use of embedded metadata is an interesting one as
 it can make objects more usable and understandable once they're removed.
 For example, just this past Friday I received a request to use an image
 someone downloaded for a book. Unfortunately, he just emailed me a copy of
 the image, described what he wanted to do, and asked for permission but he
 couldn't replicate how he found it. An identifier would have been handy as
 would have been embedded rights info as this is not the same for all of our
 images. The reason we're using DOI's is that they work well for anything
 and can easily be recognized by syntax wherever they may appear.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Conference photography policy

2015-01-26 Thread Salazar, Christina
In order to keep some presenters from being streamed and others not would 
require the presentation line up (including whether ALL of the presenters who 
are included on an individual presentation) to be made available to the filming 
crew in advance, for that line up not to change (for example, to run behind 
schedule), it would require quite a bit of babysitting of the piece of paper 
to make sure it was to hand at the time it's needed... I'm sure there's more 
that I don't know.

Because the broadcast is live, it's really NOT as simple as sticking up a piece 
of paper when someone comes on who doesn't want to be filmed because ONCE 
you've inadvertently filmed someone the cat is out of the bag - their image is 
out there for the world to see - it requires a bit of planning and thought (as 
I imagine) before the person is standing there getting filmed.

Cary and Riley (others) film C4L for fun and for free and may () want to 
actually do stuff other than juggling pieces of paper (like take a restroom 
break, perhaps?).

I believe Cary's and Riley's assessment that this is burdensome cos I can just 
imagine how this would be if *I* had to do it. Both have way more experience 
with this than me (er... I have none), but still, as I understand it, this is 
more than they feel comfortable taking on.

 I think that requiring explicit permission from presenters is overly 
 burdensome for the crew that is struggling to get the recordings up. I think 
 that speakers and presenters should be informed that all presentations may be 
 recorded and made available to the public unless they inform the conference 
 committee that they do not want to be recorded before their presentation 
 begins.
 
 If they object, the video crew will refrain from capturing their presentation.

I will not be there this year (coincided with a scholarship opportunity) , but 
I think the best option may be to establish a time frame where the conf will 
not be streamed (eg day 2 afternoon) that way we can say this group of 
presenters will not be filmed.

In order to keep some presenters from being streamed and others not would 
require the presentation line up (including whether ALL of the presenters who 
are included on an individual presentation) to be made available to the filming 
crew in advance, for that line up not to change (for example, to run behind 
schedule), it would require quite a bit of babysitting of the piece of paper 
to make sure it was to hand at the time it's needed... I'm sure there's more 
that I don't know.

Because the broadcast is live, it's really NOT as simple as sticking up a piece 
of paper when someone comes on who doesn't want to be filmed because ONCE 
you've inadvertently filmed someone the cat is out of the bag - their image is 
out there for the world to see - it requires a bit of planning and thought (as 
I imagine) before the person is standing there getting filmed.

Cary and Riley (others) film C4L for fun and for free and may () want to 
actually do stuff other than juggling pieces of paper (like take a restroom 
break, perhaps?).

I believe Cary's and Riley's assessment that this is burdensome cos I can just 
imagine how this would be if *I* had to do it. Both have way more experience 
with this than me (er... I have none), but still, as I understand it, this is 
more than they feel comfortable taking on.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Conference photography policy

2015-01-26 Thread Tara Robertson
If it's too burdensome for the livestream crew, I'd be happy to 
volunteer to work with the program committee and streaming committee to 
make it happen.


I'd be willing to adapt the plain English consent sheet we used for 
Access and the International Evergreen conference. I think it's 
important for communication to be clear about where the video will be 
streamed and archived. As a presenter I'm definately more mindful about 
what I'm saying if I know it's going to be published to the web.


I think informed consent is important.

[CODE4LIB] ALCTS CaMMS Forum on Bibframe: Notes From the Field (Sunday, Feb. 1, 1-2:30 pm)

2015-01-26 Thread Melinda Flannery
Please join us at ALA Midwinter in Chicago for a forum on the latest 
developments and experiments with Bibframe. If you tweet, help us spread 
the word:



CaMMS Forum on Bibframe: Notes From the Field

Sunday, Feb. 1, 1-2:30

McCormick Place West, W183c

Twitter: #alctscammsfm15mw

ALA Scheduler link: http://alamw15.ala.org/node/25661

We've all been hearing for several years about Bibframe, its purposes, 
its development and its promise. Many of us are ready to play, itching 
to get our hands dirty but unsure where to start. Come to the CaMMS 
Forum to review what we know and what we don't know, plus hear from two 
libraries already experimenting with Bibframe. The presentations will be 
followed by a question period.


Speakers:

Angela Kroeger (Archives and Special Collections Associate, University 
of Nebraska at Omaha) will give an overview of the current status of 
BIBFRAME development, including a brief introduction to what BIBFRAME is 
and what it does, which tools are available or under development, a 
glimpse what fully-implemented linked data looks like, a closer look at 
the four core classes of the BIBFRAME model, and a dab of philosophy.


Nancy Lorimer (Interim Head of the Metadata Department, Stanford 
University) will report on


the Bibframe-related work of Stanford metadata and library technology 
staff, introducing their plans for experimentation in the coming year. 
She will also discuss training catalogers in linked data concepts and 
technologies as well as the importance of involving a variety of staff 
in moving toward linked data experimentation and implementation.



Jackie Shieh (Resource Description Coordinator, George Washington 
University Libraries) will focus on the current state of her library's 
two years of exploring the transition from MARC to Bibframe. She will 
share what has become routine and what still remains challenging.

 To be clear, what I said or tried to say is that the streaming crew needs
 to know if he presenter does not wish to be shown, or if they do not want
 their presentation shown before they start presenting. At least one full
 minute before would be great. They can take our word that we will honor
 their wishes.

 I think that it is fair to say that nobody involved with the video wants
 anything to do with paperwork, and if anyone has the time and energy to do
 that, their time would be better spent actually working on the video crew,
 which at this point is virtually nonexistent.

 Every presenter should know that we will be putting up video of their
 session or talk on our YouTube channel with a CC license, unless they
 demure. We should have a small sign to that effect at the podium, as well.

Wow -- there is a whole lot to like in that document.  Affirming the need to 
work with dynamic statements and strings-to-URLs is great.  The only comment I 
could offer would be -- with the exception of a tangential mention in the 
description of SD4 -- that there isn't a mention of linked data environments 
outside the traditional library/researcher space.  I was hoping to see a 
mention of Freebase, wikidata, and other similar broad communities.  (The 
mention of working with Code4Lib technologists is nice, too.)

This is a great strategic document to start working from.

 Location:  McCormick Place West, Room: W196a
 
 *__*
 
 
 
 *Topic:  PCC Strategic Directions* *(January 2015 - December 2017)*
 
 
 
 In 2014, the PCC began a planning process that included commissioning three
 white papers and holding a facilitated strategic planning session in
 conjunction with the PCC Policy Committee’s annual meeting in November.
 The resulting plan document, *PCC Vision, Mission, and Strategic Directions
 (2015-2017)*, is attached, and will soon be posted on the PCC website.
 
 
 
 Please join us for a discussion of the role PCC will play over the next
 several years in helping advance the community’s understanding of and
 transition to linked data applications.  Beth Picknally Camden (PCC Past
 Chair) and Chris Cronin (PCC Chair) will describe the planning process and
 provide an overview of the new PCC Strategic Directions  Actions related
 to four main areas:
 
 
 
 1.  *Training and education:*  Develop a curriculum that will advance
 the community’s understanding of linked data;
 
 2.  *Linked data transitions:*  Align the PCC’s activities and
 investments with those that will have the highest impact within the global
 data environment;
 
 3.  *Identities and entity management:*  Provide leadership for the
 shift in authority control from an approach primarily based on creating
 text strings to one focused on managing identities and entities;
 
 4.  *Business models:  *Explore branding and funding models that will
 support the PCC’s strategic directions and the overall sustainability of
 the Program.
 
 
 
 The agenda will include time for feedback from and discussion with PCC
 participants on these new directions.

I think it is pretty straightforward.
[] I am ok with my image, audio, and presentation being broadcast and archived 
(default)
[] I am not ok with my image being brodcasted, but will allow audio and slides
[] none of the above


This needs to be opt out, not opt in.

 I think that requiring explicit permission from presenters is overly
 burdensome for the crew that is struggling to get the recordings up. I
 think that speakers and presenters should be informed that all
 presentations may be recorded and made available to the public unless they
 inform the conference committee that they do not want to be recorded before
 their presentation begins.

 If they object, the video crew will refrain from capturing their
 presentation.

 If we do screen capture again, it is possible that presenter could have
 the option of allowing us to record their voice and screen.

[CODE4LIB] Automatically updating documentation with screenshots

2015-01-26 Thread Owen Stephens
I work on a web application and when we release a new version there are often 
updates to make to existing user documentation - especially screenshots where 
unrelated changes (e.g. the addition of a new top level menu item) can make 
whole sets of screenshots desirable across all the documentation.

I'm looking at whether we could automate the generation of screenshots somehow 
which has taken me into documentation tools such as Sphinx 
[http://sphinx-doc.org] and Dexy [http://dexy.it]. However, ideally I want 
something simple enough for the application support staff to be able to use.

Anyone done/tried anything like this?

this work for you? If you were given the schedule with the names of

they do not want to be recorded before their presentation begins.

If they object, the video crew will refrain from capturing their presentation.

If we do screen capture again, it is possible that presenter could have the 
option of allowing us to record their voice and screen.

 behind schedule), it would require quite a bit of babysitting of the piece 
 of paper to make sure it was to hand at the time it's needed... I'm sure 
 there's more that I don't know.
 
 Because the broadcast is live, it's really NOT as simple as sticking up a 
 piece of paper when someone comes on who doesn't want to be filmed because 
 ONCE you've inadvertently filmed someone the cat is out of the bag - their 
 image is out there for the world to see - it requires a bit of planning and 
 thought (as I imagine) before the person is standing there getting filmed.
 
 Cary and Riley (others) film C4L for fun and for free and may () want to 
 actually do stuff other than juggling pieces of paper (like take a restroom 
 break, perhaps?).
 
 I believe Cary's and Riley's assessment that this is burdensome cos I can 
 just imagine how this would be if *I* had to do it. Both have way more 
 experience with this than me (er... I have none), but still, as I understand 
 it, this is more than they feel comfortable taking on.
 
 (Haven't you watched them - they actually DO bring some production values to 
 this, too.)


Hey Christina.

FWIW I did the recording in 2013. Yeah it is a slog that I swore away
from. So in that regard you are absolutely correct. That said, with a
minimal planning sticking a paper ought to do the job. Unless I'm
missing the bleeding obvious.

Perhaps not for Lightning Talks but for prepared talks almost certainly.

Let's say our Tuesday line up is

Moe, Larry and Curly.

Larry has no interest in being photographed. Unlike Lightning talks
which have everyone standing right in front of the stage or dais you can
(working with Larry tell him to avoid the front of the room) Tara has
volunteered to do this type thing. As soon as Moe is done we go dark.
Until Larry has completely gone of stage... or a close approximation of
that.

Yes it is work. Tara's volunteered to do this I think she should be
taken up on it. (Hi Tara)

 To be clear, what I said or tried to say is that the streaming crew needs
 to know if he presenter does not wish to be shown, or if they do not want
 their presentation shown before they start presenting. At least one full
 minute before would be great. They can take our word that we will honor
 their wishes.
 
 I think that it is fair to say that nobody involved with the video wants
 anything to do with paperwork, and if anyone has the time and energy to do
 that, their time would be better spent actually working on the video crew,
 which at this point is virtually nonexistent.
 
 Every presenter should know that we will be putting up video of their
 session or talk on our YouTube channel with a CC license, unless they
 demure. We should have a small sign to that effect at the podium, as well.

If it's too burdensome for the livestream crew, I'd be happy to
volunteer to work with the program committee and streaming committee to
make it happen.

I'd be willing to adapt the plain English consent sheet we used for
Access and the International Evergreen conference. I think it's
important for communication to be clear about where the video will be
streamed and archived. As a presenter I'm definately more mindful about
what I'm saying if I know it's going to be published to the web.

I think informed consent is important.
