Re: [MCN-L] Assistance needed with ULAN data
Hi, Erin-- I'd like to second Sami's recommendation. The need to take an existing spreadsheet of information and look up which Getty Vocabulary term matches is very common, and what we've found is that OpenRefine is the best tool for doing that, which is why we've worked to provide integration points for the Getty Vocabularies there. The URL for the service is http://services.getty.edu/vocab/reconcile, which is the URL you would link to within OpenRefine to add the integration point. For a more useful tutorial on how to use it, https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/obtain/openrefine_tutorial.pdf contains step-by-step instructions. Please let me know if those instructions don't make sense--we're still trying to figure out how best to describe the tool and help people use it, and we'd welcome feedback as we work to improve the documentation. — David David Newbury Enterprise Software Architect, Getty Digital Email: dnewb...@getty.edu Phone: (310) 440-6116 On 8/16/19, 10:37 AM, "mcn-l on behalf of Sami Norling" wrote: Hi Erin, I would highly recommend using OpenRefine <http://openrefine.org>'s reconciliation service to reconcile the museum's data with ULAN entities. Once reconciled in OpenRefine, you can then enrich the museum's existing data with any of the data points available in ULAN. I am going through this process with the Indianapolis Museum of Art data to better support our linked data initiatives as well as to ensure that our data is as complete as it can be. As an added step, I would also suggest that when you are done with the reconciliation work, you contact the Getty vocabularies team to inquire about contributing information about artists not currently in ULAN to their data set. My understanding is that they are very encouraging of such contributions. Please consider this e-mail a super basic overview, and feel free to contact me directly for more specific information about how to use OpenRefine and their reconciliation services for your project.

[MCN-L] Software development opportunity at the J. Paul Getty Trust
MCN friends— Interested in working in Los Angeles? We’re looking to hire a lead developer for the team that does the presentation and discovery layers for projects like the Getty Vocabularies, the Getty Museum collection, the Provenance Index, and other interesting, scholarly research applications. Our stack is Vue.js, Python, IIIF, and Linked Data, and the posted salary range is $120-$150K/year. We’re looking for someone experienced, who really knows how websites are built, and who gets cultural heritage—but even more, we’re looking for someone who is interested in mentoring, teaching, and leading a growing team of developers. We also welcome applications from people with non-traditional backgrounds: we already have an animator, a librarian, and a philosopher working on our digital team!

Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?
I’d certainly be interested in talking more about that—the Carnegie Museums have been working and talking about archive and collection integration for the past year, and we’ve also had some early conversations about integration with both our internal library and our sister institution, the Carnegie Library. — David Newbury (773) 547-2272 david.newb...@gmail.com On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 1:12 PM, Stefano Cossu <sco...@artic.edu> wrote: > Hello, > It was exciting to host a lively conversation at the last MCN conference > about Libraries, Archives and Museums (topics: [1]; slides: [2]).

Re: [MCN-L] Anybody using IMu for public API
At the Carnegie Museum of Art, we’ve been looking into bypassing IMu and building and using the XML export feature, and building our API off those exports. We don’t have a pressing need for realtime data in our API, and it means that the developers working on the API (i.e., me!) don’t need to be as intimately involved in the intricacies of EMu—it’s just an XML parsing problem. It also means that there are no security issues, as least as far as writing goes—the API doesn’t have any access to the real database, so it is impossible to get to non-exported data or overwrite and live data. We’re not sure that’s the best technique—we go back and forth on using IMu or continuing down this path. We’d also be interested in any feedback or insights people might have. — David Newbury (773) 547-2272 david.newb...@gmail.com On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 6:50 PM, Adrian Kingston adri...@tepapa.govt.nz wrote: Hi all We're (Te Papa) finally looking to use IMu a bit more from our EMu.

[MCN-L] Kiosk Pro Plus
Are you using the stock charging block or a aftermarket charging block? ?iPads use a good bit of power, and some of the USB charging blocks only put out 500 milliamps or less of power, not the 2.1 amps that iPads thrive on. ?
