I now need to read XML. Unlike indexing and doing OAI-PMH, there are
a myriad of tools for reading and writing XML. I've done SAX before.
I think I've done a bit of DOM. If I wanted a straight-forward and
well-supported Java package that supported these APIs,
Ah, yes, that's much clearer, thanks!

I am less optimistic about MODS than Kyle. Having watched it be made, I
think it's more than just a bit of a kludge, and carries forward a lot
of the problems of MARC21. I also don't think that it has a strong model
or philosophy behind it. I think we can do much, much better.
I agree
One thing I note in the current SRU list is that versioning might be an issue.
MODS 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 all have different identifiers (naturally) but the
same short name. I've run into this issue with OAI-PMH, where there isn't a
formal registry of metadata formats but general conventions

Dear Repke and all,
Several years ago Indiana University released a METS Viewer called METS
Navigator: http://metsnavigator.sourceforge.net/. We've since done a *ton* of
work on it but haven't gotten around to doing another release. Here's something
like version 1.1 in action:
The Variations/FRBR project at Indiana University (http://vfrbr.info) is
pleased to announce the release of an initial set of XML Schemas for the
encoding of FRBRized bibliographic data. The Variations/FRBR project aims to
provide a concrete testbed for the FRBR conceptual model, and these XML
Hi everyone,
Posting quickly since I'm scrambling to get out of town tomorrow - I'll do my

I did see the RDA-L discussion, but caught up on it too late to weigh in
usefully. I've always found the
What the RDA folks (that is, the folks
who have created RDA, the JSC members) said (some of them off-list to
me), is that if your manifestation is an aggregate, then your
Expression must be an equal aggregate. So the Expression is pretty
much one-to-one with the Manifestation. (And I think we

From Ross Singer:
I totally agree we're
past the point of hand waviness and just need to model this stuff

scale, and have something to point to.
And then release whatever comes out of
Hi all,
At Indiana University we're working on a project that will help us see
concretely what FRBRized [1] library data and discovery systems might look
like. [2] One of our project goals is to share the raw FRBRized data widely
so that others can look at it to see how it's structured, reuse it,
Hi MJ,
- for that matter, is there a good example of how to properly
serialize DCTERMS for eg. a converted MARC/MODS record in XML (or
RDF/XML)? I see, eg. http://dublincore.org/documents/dcq-rdf-xml/
which has been replaced by http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-rdf/
but I'm not sure if the

A reminder about the upcoming deadline for DLF Forum proposals. This really
will be a different type of forum, one that I think this community could both

From what you've said here (already done some OAI-PMH harvesting and

Hi Tom,
I think it comes down to what you really mean by a book not having a
title. A few options I can think of:
1) This book was published without a title (or whatever verb you want
there if you want to cover unpublished material)
2) The author did not give this work a title
3) I've never
