The Norm Team: How Catalog/Metadata Staff Contributes to Making Primo at Emory the Best It Can Be for Us
2009Co-Authors: Susan Pinckard, Laura AkermanAbstract:Susan Pinckard, Team Leader, Metadata and Advanced Cataloging Technology, Emory University; Laura Akerman, Metadata Librarian, Emory University. The first part of this session is a discussion of the role of the Normalization Rules subteam (the "Norm Team") in our Primo implementation: from chartering, stakeholder identification, and project scope to deliverables, staff roles/responsibilities & workflows through to successes, challenges, issues & assessment. For the second part, we will provide an overview of some of the rule changes made by the Norm Team, how we test and document them, and the issues/discussions that led to them. A few of our changes are specific to our SirsiDynix Unicorn source data, but most have general applicability. We hope that this information-sharing session will provide those sites just starting to bring up Primo with some useful ah-ha’s that will help them as they develop their norm rules. As presenters, we hope to learn from those approaching norm rules with fresh eyes.

Report of Official Foreign Travel to Germany, May 16-June 1, 2001
2001Co-Authors: J. D. MasonAbstract:The Department of Energy (DOE) and associated agencies have moved rapidly toward electronic production, management, and dissemination of scientific and technical information. The World-Wide Web (WWW) has become a primary means of information dissemination. Electronic commerce (EC) is becoming the preferred means of procurement. DOE, like other government agencies, depends on and encourages the use of international standards in data communications. Like most government agencies, DOE has expressed a preference for openly developed standards over proprietary designs promoted as ''standards'' by vendors. In particular, there is a preference for standards developed by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that use open, public processes to develop their standards. Among the most widely adopted international standards is the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML, ISO 8879:1986, FIPS 152), to which DOE long ago made a commitment. Besides the official commitment, which has resulted in several specialized projects, DOE makes heavy use of coding derived from SGML: Most documents on the WWW are coded in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), which is an application of SGML. The World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C), with the backing of major software houses like Adobe, IBM, Microsoft, Netscape, Oracle, and Sun, is promoting XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a class of SGML applications, for the future of the WWW and the basis for EC. In support of DOE's use of these standards, I have served since 1985 as Chairman of the international committee responsible for SGML and related standards, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 (SC34) and its predecessor organizations. During my May 2001 trip, I chaired the spring 2001 meeting of SC34 in Berlin, Germany. I also attended XML Europe 2001, a major conference on the use of SGML and XML sponsored by the Graphic Communications Association (GCA), and chaired a meeting of the International SGML/XML Users' Group (ISUG). In addition to the widespread use of the WWW among DOE's plants and facilities in Oak Ridge and among DOE sites across the nation, there have been several past and present SGML- and XML-based projects at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12). Our local project team has done SGML and XML development at Y-12 and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) since the late 1980s. SGML is a component of the Weapons Records Archiving and Preservation (WRAP) project at Y-12 and is the format for Catalog Metadata chosen for weapons records by the Nuclear Weapons Information Group (NWIG). The ''Ferret'' system for automated classification analysis uses XML to structure its knowledge base. The Ferret team also provides XML consulting to OSTI and DOE Headquarters, particularly the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Supporting standards development allows DOE and Y-12 the opportunity both to provide input into the process and to benefit from contact with some of the leading experts in the subject matter. Oak Ridge has been for some years the location to which other DOE sites turn for expertise in SGML, XML, and related topics.

Besides the official commitment, which has resulted in several specialized projects, DOE makes heavy use of coding derived from SGML, and its use is likely to increase in the future. Most documents on the WWW are coded in HTML ("Hypertext Markup Language"), which is an application of SGML. The World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C), more » with the backing of major software houses like Microsoft, Adobe, and Netscape, is promoting XML ("eXtensible Markup Language"), a class of SGML applications, for the future of the WWW and the basis for EC. W3C has announced its intention of discontinuing future development of HTML and replacing it with XHTML, an application of XML. In support of DOE's use of these standards, I have served since 1985 as Chairman of the international committee responsible for SGML and related standards, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 (SC34) and its predecessor organizations. During my April 1999 trip, I convened the spring 1999 meeting of SC34 in Granada, Spain. I also attended a major conference on the use of SGML and XML. SC34 maintains and continues to enhance several standards. In addition to SGML, which is the basis of HTML and XML, SC34 also works on the Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), which is the basis for W3C's XSL ("eXtensible Style Language," to be used with XML) and the Hypermedia/Time-based Document Structuring Language (HyTime), which is a major influence on W3C's XLink ("XML Linking Language"). SC34 is also involved in work with ISO's TC184, Industrial Data, on the linking of STEP (the standard for the interchange of product model data) with SGML. In addition to the widespread use of the WWW among DOE's plants and facilities in Oak Ridge and among DOE sites across the nation, there are several SGML-based projects at the Y-12 Plant.

Report of Official Foreign Travel to France May 8-27, 1998
1998Co-Authors: J. D. MasonAbstract:The Department of Energy (DOE) has moved ever more rapidly towards electronic production, management, and dissemination of scientific and technical information. The World-Wide Web (WWW) has become a primary means of information dissemination. Electronic commerce (EC) is becoming the preferred means of procurement.

The World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C), with the backing of major software houses like Microsoft, Adobe, and Netscape, is promoting XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a class of SGML applications, for the future of the WWW and the basis for EC. In support of DOE�s use of these standards, I have served since 1985 as Convenor of the international committee responsible for SGML and related standards, ISO/IEC JTC1/WG4 (WG4). During this trip I convened the spring 1998 meeting of WG4 in Paris, France. I also attended a major conference on the use of SGML and XML. At the close of the conference, I chaired a workshop of standards developers looking at ways of improving online searching of electronic documents. Note: Since the end of the meetings in France, JTC1 has raised the level of WG4 to a full Subcommittee; its designator is now ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34. WG4 maintains and continues to enhance several standards. In addition to SGML, which is the basis of HTML and XML, WG4 also works on the Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), which is the basis for the W3C�s XSL (eXtensible Style Language, to be used with XML) and the Hypermedia/Time-based Document Structuring Language (HyTime), which is a major influence on the W3C�s XLink (XML Linking Language).

International Semantic Web Conference (2) - The MIDI Linked Data Cloud
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2017Co-Authors: Albert Meroño-peñuela, Rinke Hoekstra, Aldo Gangemi, Peter Bloem, Reinier De Valk, Bas Stringer, Berit Janssen, Victor De Boer, Alo Allik, Stefan SchlobachAbstract:The study of music is highly interdisciplinary, and thus requires the combination of datasets from multiple musical domains, such as Catalog Metadata (authors, song titles, dates), industrial records (labels, producers, sales), and music notation (scores). While today an abundance of music Metadata exists on the Linked Open Data cloud, linked datasets containing interoperable symbolic descriptions of music itself, i.e. music notation with note and instrument level information, are scarce. In this paper, we describe the MIDI Linked Data Cloud dataset, which represents multiple collections of digital music in the MIDI standard format as Linked Data using the novel midi2rdf algorithm. At the time of writing, our proposed dataset comprises 10,215,557,355 triples of 308,443 interconnected MIDI files, and provides Web-compatible descriptions of their MIDI events. We provide a comprehensive description of the dataset, and reflect on its applications for research in the Semantic Web and Music Information Retrieval communities.
