Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2015 Newcomer Dinner Question

Technically, the "official" dinners can start anytime; the 6 pm start time is only a guideline. People can have the dinner whenever it is a good time for them to meet, either earlier or later that night You can either lead a group like Cary suggested or you can probably stop by one of the brewpub

Re: [CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and metadata

Laura, is it an option to migrate the literary content into a TEI form? You could consolidate the objects that make up a single text into a single complex object, with embedded metadata (at whatever level you like), and then wheel in some existing TEI content management / presentation system. On

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2015 Newcomer Dinner Question

You will likely miss the "official" dinners, as pretty much all of those start at 6-6:30. Of course, you could just claim a restaurant on the list and have it start whenever you want. Cary > On Jan 28, 2015, at 12:15 PM, Matthew Sherman > wrote: > > Hi all, > > This question is directed at

Re: [CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and metadata

The short answer is that what we have right now is document-type items (pages of books or letters, front and back of a map), but that might grow in the future to include video or multiple views of art objects. The documents are the main concern right now. Most of our compound objects in contentdm

Re: [CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and metadata

Islandora has a compound image model that allows for objects in the repository to be related to each other. An example in the Islandora Foundation's sandbox: http://sandbox.islandora.ca/islandora/object/islandora%3A105 This is made up of two large image objects: http://sandbox.islandora.ca

Re: [CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and metadata

The best way to display compound objects really depends on the nature of the compound objects. For example, the optimal display for a book stored as a compound object will be very different than an art object taken from various vantage points or a dataset. Likewise, whether you can get away with no

Re: [CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and metadata

Laura- At UCSD, we have complex objects which range from a flat list of files (e.g. page images): http://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb59054559 all the way up to pretty involved hierarchy modeling a filesystem: http://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb9796611k Many of these have a hierarchy with fi

[CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and metadata

We're migrating from CONTENTdm and trying to figure out how to display compound objects (or the things formerly known as compound objects) and metadata for the end user. Can anyone point me to really good examples of displaying items like this, especially where the user can see metadata for parts o

Hi all, This question is directed at folks attending Code4Lib 2015 in almost a week and a half. Are any of the groups for the dinner leaving after 7pm? I ask as sadly my flight doesn't land until about 6:30 pm that day. If anyone is eating a little later it would be great to join you guys. Tha

Thanks, everyone, for the links to interesting implementations. It's definitely given me some inspiration as we start to think about this possibility. I'll give my 2 cents (Canadian, that's $0.016 US today, sorry!) on a few of Sean's questions below - the ones we've actually given any thought to y

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

Hello, I like Danielle's idea. I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to decouple the metadata from the data permanently. Exiftool allows you to export the metadata in lots of different formats like JSON. You could export the metadata into JSON, run the checksums and then store the photo and th

Re: [CODE4LIB] state of the art in virtual shelf browse?

+1 to Sean's questions. I've considered implementing a shelf browse system myself, but I am wary. It's a huge amount of work, and I have no idea who it will benefit or how much. It's one of those things that certainly seems cool to me, but unfortunately I am not the target audience of our website (
