- Harvesting and sharing of metadata in the new environment
- Incorporating Linked Data into library information systems
- Authority control, vocabularies and Linked Data/Semantic Web
- Rights and license management in the Semantic Web
- Linked Data and MARC and non-MARC (EAD, Dublin Core, etc.) library metadata
- Migration of MARC and non-MARC library metadata to new systems and platforms
- Conversion and mapping of MARC and non-MARC library metadata to RDF and Linked Data
- Data clean-up in preparation for migration/conversion
Notable development list traffic
- How can I do complex termSearches with the pubmed harvester that require parenthesis?
- Help with listViewConfig and propStatement modification
- 1.5.1 logging issues
- Need to configure Tomcat with Memcached
- Building with ant war with Weblogic and Glassfish
- Still nobody able to get sparql update working with Fuseki?
- Research areas – where/how to create an xml sniplet for the research
area and ingest it - VIVO I would much rather do without any reliance on SDB as it is very slow and does not scale. OWLIM has a very fast built in OWL2 RL reasoner, which removes the need for any Vitro-side inferencing in the Jena style (which accounts for a lot of the speed loss) ... I managed to setup VIVO from Github with the SPARQL backend (and without the simple reasoner). However, triples I add to the tripestore do not show up in the interface (even though the indexer notices them). May have something to do with using skos:prefLabel instead of rdfs:label ...
- Solr to speed page load times for people with 100+ publications? Some doubts expressed on the list ...
- From a development point of view, you then have some bits of the page accessed by Jena api calls, some via SPARQL and some via SOLR... I have an aversion to this
- there's a script we run that does an HTTP GET on each faculty member page with more than a threshold number of publications. (We usually use 200 as our threshold, but 100 would work as well.) Our mysql server has a large enough cache that once those pages have been fetched once, they're typically quite a bit faster to load on later fetches.
