I suspect the first example you give is correct. The newline character is the
field delimiter. If you’re reading this into a structured representation (e.g.,
a Python dictionary) you could parse the presence of nothing between the colon
and the newline as “None”, but in a text file there is no
I have a small anecdote on my experience with Drupal, Django, and custom

I was writing a site that required a number of custom content types, some of
them fairly complex, and a Solr back-end for full-text and faceted search. I

As someone who works on document recognition, I have to disagree. You should

Hi Kyle,
You might want to have a look at our Diva viewer
(http://ddmal.music.mcgill.ca/diva/).
We've tested it on books that are over 100GB total, and images that are around
200MB each. For example:

Each page is about 180MB

Hi Edward,
A bit of disclosure: I'm one of the developers for Diva.
We have done quite a bit of experimentation for viewing images on various

still require a bit of waiting for any viewing or operations.

It doesn't work with PDFs, since it needs to create a tiled TIFF image for each

I don't know of anything similar for PDFs, since they're not really designed to

You can convert PDF pages to images, though... :)

I'm not a big user of MARCXML, but I can think of a few reasons off the top of
my head:
- Existing libraries for reading, manipulating and searching XML-based
documents are very mature.
- Documents can be validated for their well-formedness using these existing
tools and a pre-defined schema
I guess what I meant is that in MARCXML, you have a datafield element with
subsequent subfield elements each with fairly clear attributes, which, while
not my idea of fun Sunday-afternoon reading, requires less specialized tools to
parse (hello Textmate!) and is a bit easier than trying to
