Re: [CODE4LIB] Software used in Panama Papers Analysis

Tom, The Knight funded OpenNews project is not exactly a community but certainly is working along those lines. Their upcoming SRCCON conference seems focused on the same kinds of things code4lib is, but for journalism. Another upcoming conference,

[CODE4LIB] What happened to the code4lib blog?

I'm playing around with Elasticsearch and need to convert MARC to JSON. Of the various proposals to do that, I liked Ross Singer's the best. http://dilettantes.code4lib.org/blog/2010/09/a-proposal-to-serialize-marc-in-json/ Sadly, that link is dead. Any chance of reviving it? Thanks! Ralph

The Knight News Challenge grant also funded DocumentCloud ( open source newsroom platform for uploading, annotating, sharing documents ), which actually created Backbone.js and Underscore.js. They have a pretty active community. On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 6:21 PM, Chad Nelson

Re: [CODE4LIB] Interim data storage for researchers

I’m really glad Krista asked this question, because it’s one we get asked at UC Berkeley all the time. We’ve launched a project as part of our Research Data Management program to come up with recommendations and a roadmap. We’re calling this “active research data storage” to distinguish it

Ralph, If you are looking for the spec that was detailed in that post, I cannot help you. If you are looking for a tool to actually perform the conversion and produce output that conforms to that spec it can be done via the Marc4J library. If you are interested I can give specific

Re: [CODE4LIB] Mapping book locations

It does get a bit involved, there is some recursion needed for a reasonable implementation, eg a magazine in a file placed on a shelf or an archive that has boxes on shelves. I implemented it for my books and manuals, example :- http://www.collection.archivist.info/shelfview.php?src=artitle=197

Hi all We've been approached by a researcher who would like our assistance in storing data (various file types) on an on-going project (not at a data preservation stage yet). The researcher wants to be able to access, add and change this data from their project site and allow her fellow research

Dryad and FigShare are both preservation repositories, not collaboration spaces like what the OP is looking for. I'm afraid I don't have any recommendations of a good collaborative working space, but Dryad in particular is only for data in a finished state which are associated with a specific

The IJNet article is particularly interesting—thanks for posting this. Excerpts like the one below make me wonder if there is a “Code4News” community, and if so, how do we find and connect with them. It seems we have a lot in common, and maybe a lot to offer each other. MC: What we’ve
