--Webinar: Translating the Library Catalog from MARC into Linked Data: An
Update on the Bibliographic Framework Initiative

=========================================================================

ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

In May 2012, the Library of Congress announced a new modeling initiative
focused on reflecting the MARC 21 library standard as a Linked Data model
for the Web, with an initial model to be proposed by the consulting company
Zepheira.  The goal of the initiative is to translate the MARC 21 format to
a Linked Data model while retaining the richness and benefits of existing
data in the historical format.

In this webinar, Eric Miller of Zepheira will report on progress towards
this important goal, starting with an analysis of the translation problem
and concluding with potential migration scenarios for a broad-based
transition from MARC to a new bibliographic framework.

SPEAKER:

Eric Miller is co-founder and president of Zepheira, which provides
solutions for managing information across boundaries of person, group, and
enterprise. Until 2007, Eric led the Semantic Web Initiative for the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at MIT and was one of the key leaders in the
development of the Resource Description Framework and other Semantic Web
technologies.  Prior to his work at W3C, Eric was a Senior Research
Scientist at OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. in Dublin, Ohio,
where he served as the co-founder and Associate Director of the Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative.

Registration closes one hour before the webinar begins.

Subject: [eml-dev] KNB planned outage: 04Jan2013 to 08Jan2013
Message-ID: <15BEA10B-BDBE-410C-B458-2CEF65362FF4@nceas.ucsb.edu>

All,

The Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) website and data repository will be unavailable from Friday, January 4th, 2013 at 5pm PST to Tuesday, January 8th at 8am PST.  During this scheduled outage, the KNB server hardware will be moved to a new location.  Access to or upload of data and metadata content will be temporarily interrupted because of the move.  However, metadata records for the KNB repository are also available through the DataONE web portal.

We apologize for the inconvenience as we upgrade our services. If you have any questions please contact help at nceas.ucsb.edu.

Thank you.

Subject: [eml-dev] EML for use in Kepler Workflow sofware
Message-ID: <3889775.CjQv6TCokt@mobiletaliban>

He all together

Right at the moment I am working on a Kepler Workflow integration for an 
ecological open source data portal called BEFdata (Developed in Rails). The 
EML export of the portal works already and the file is valid (validated with 
EML parser). If I download the EML- and the corresponding CSV file manually 
from the portal the integration into Kepler via the EML2Dataset actor works 
like charm (Using Kepler development branch version).

But when I try to define the URL of the EML file in the the EML2Dataset actor, 
so I do not need to download the files, I get an error that the file Download 
did not work. The download URL for the data on the portal is:

o CSV

http://localhost/datasets/5/download.csv?separate_category_columns=true&user_credentials=019823?jf?iu

Even if I have this link in the URL field of the physical Instance definition 
in the EML file it comes up with an error that there was an download error. 
Maybe it is a general thing and related to the way I specified my physical 
instance? Maybe I miss something in the EML which is important? 

Maybe somone of you has an idea what could be wrong. You can find the EML file 
here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/844606/example.eml

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Claas

Subject: [eml-dev] Who is using Metacat / Morpho in Europe ?
Message-ID: <20130112123410.CAF68575574@fx806.security-mail.net>

Hi,

With a colleague from Montpellier (France), we are evaluating 
technologies related to EML :

 1. IPT from GBIF,
 2. Metacat with Morpho.


We spent some times to install metacat and required stuff  (LDAP, 
Tomcat, PostgrSQL, etc.)  on the same computer (localhost).
But it starts to work !

Question :

> Is there someone in Europe using metacat ?
> Is there someone not involved/connected in/to LTER network using metacat ?
> In that case, what about replication to other systems or organisation ?
> In that case, what kind of technical replication (current replication 
> API seems to be deprecated, and replaced by the Data One API) ?

Any help, advices, recommendation and operational experience feed back 
would be warmly welcomed !

Thierry,

Are you part of LTER-Europe or ExpeER? Do you work with Jacques Roy?

In any case, we are using DEIMS (Drupal Ecological Informaion Management
System) to create EML.  Shortly, you should receive an email with a user
name and password so the you can check out our site.

This is a new system, so that there are only a few datasets, but we do have
an extensive site information database.

This system will create EML and then harvest it into the LTER-Europe
metacat which will become a DataOne node.

As to your central question, IPT has a limited amount of fields, and is
geared to describing species observations.

Even if you are not part of LTER-Europe, your site is welcome to use the
LTER-Europe metacat.

Let me know what your data is like, and I can help you think through your
options.

David
