Re: [CODE4LIB] Good Database Software for a Digital Project?

2016-04-16 Thread Conal Tuohy
Since you mention the requirement to publish and maintain it on the web, another (NoSQL) option for your data storage would be a SPARQL graph store (such as Apache Fuseki). Loading the data would involve transforming each citation into an RDF graph and storing it as a named graph with an HTTP PUT,

Kyle It's a question of merging the two feeds in order of pubDate? This is the kind of thing that Yahoo Pipes was for, before Yahoo abandoned it. https://pipes.yahoo.com/ But there are alternatives around; perhaps the list in this article will provide some options you haven't seen already:

Re: [CODE4LIB] Let's implement the referrer meta tag

2015-06-11 Thread Conal Tuohy
Assuming your library web server has a front-end proxy (I guess this is pretty common) or at least runs inside Apache httpd or something, then rather than use the HTML meta tag, it might be easier to set the referer policy via the Content-Security-Policy HTTP header field.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Migrating Data into VIVO

2015-02-05 Thread Conal Tuohy
I looked at VIVO a few years ago and my memory is that they had a few ingestion tools, including an OAI-PMH harvester that I believe created RDF naively from the harvested XML, inserted it into the triple store using a SPARQL query, and then used a SPARQL update query to reformulate the harvested

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

One thing I've been using a triple store for recently is to model a lexicographic dataset extracted from a bunch of TEI files. The TEI XML files are transcriptions of lexicons of various Australian aboriginal languages; tables of English language words, with their equivalents supplied by native

2014-12-17 Thread Conal Tuohy
On the subject of 4Store, I set it up once and was impressed with how easy it was, but I went back to Apache Fuseki, because it supported the SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store Protocol, which in my opinion is crucial for publishing linked open data, as it provides a gateway between the fine-grained data of

I am really puzzled by the use of these non-standard inflexions as a means of qualifying an HTTP request. Why not use the HTTP Accept header, like everyone else? On 9 December 2014 at 07:59, John A. Kunze j...@ucop.edu wrote: Any Apache server (not Tomcat) can handle the '?' and '??' cases

I would recommend learning Linux because it is the key platform for open source software in general, and librarians need to embrace open source in order to take control over their library systems, in order to deliver to their users what they actually need, rather than what can be delivered within
