Wie beim letzten Mal wird auch dieses Jahr die Semantic Web in Bibliotheken wieder die vermutlich beste Konferenz, die ich nicht besuchen kann. Kleiner Trost: auf der Webseite wird wieder ein Livestream verfügbar sein. Um 9:15 Uhr geht es los.

Wie beim letzten Mal wird auch dieses Jahr die Semantic Web in Bibliotheken wieder die vermutlich beste Konferenz, die ich nicht besuchen kann. Kleiner Trost: auf der Webseite wird wieder ein Livestream verfügbar sein.

Wer zu faul ist zu wenig Zeit um die eigenen Postings mit Links anzureichern oder sie zu verschlagworten, kann auf algorithmische Unterstützung bauen. Ein Tool zum automatischen Anreichern ist zum Beispiel das der CTRL Semantic Engine. Ich habe dort testweise einen Text¹ aus den “Memoirs of libraries: including a handbook of library economy” von Edward Edwards (Google Books) verwendet.

Das von der CTRL Semantic Engine bereit gestellte Ergebnis:

THE ROYAL PUBLIC LIBRARY OF HANOVER

The Royal Public Library of Hanover was founded by Duke JohnFrederick about the year 1660.It has been successively augmented by the acquisition of the following among other less important collections: – In 1678 that of M. Fogel of Hamburgh; in 1696, that of Westenholz; about 1698, that of the Elector Ernest Augustus ; in 1716, that of Leibnitz; in 1729, that of GW Molanus; in 1750, that of the late Duke of Cambridge , who bequeathed a Library of considerable value – especially well provided with books and MSS. relating to Hanover on condition that the works which were already possessed by the Royal Library should be transferred to the Town Library of the capital. The estimated number of volumes is, of printed books, upwards of 80,000; and of MSS., about 2000. The strength of the collection lies in the departments of History and Politics, and the MSS. are of considerable value. Of late years more liberal access has been permitted than formerly existed.



The chief attraction of the Hanover Library is its collection of the papers of Leibnitz, consisting of his correspondence. Besides his own letters, there are a great many letters of the eminent persons to whom he wrote. “His correspondence”, says Dr. Noehden , “was most extensive; and, what is surprising in a man so much occupied, it seems that he generally copied his letters, and not infrequently transcribed the same composition two or three times. Those in the Library are, for the most part, the first arrangements. There was scarcaly any one of his contemporaries of celebrity, with whom he had not an epistolary intercourse. A great many of the letters are written in French, and in Latin; some in other languages. One of his most distinguished correspondents was the Electoress of Hanover, the Princess Sophia , mother of George l.

Da ich mir diese Folien immer wieder mal ansehe, möchte ich die Folien noch einmal in Infobib posten:

Die Aufzeichnung des kompletten Vortrags hatte ich im Plan3ten schon mal erwähnt.

Klaus Wendel beschreibt in Archivalia, wie man Semantic MediaWiki “als Erschließungssoftware für Archive, Museen und Bibliotheken” nutzen kann.

Seinen Einstieg ins Semantic Web an der UB Bochum beschreibt Philipp Baar in seinem Blog.

Teil der Operation Frühjahrsputz, in deren Verlauf angefangene und nie beendete Postings einfach so veröffentlicht werden.

Der Vorschlag von Stephen Wolfram wurde im deutschsprachigen Raum m.E. nicht wirklich wahrgenommen, ich möchte ihn daher noch einmal hervorholen. Wolfram schlug kürzlich vor, eine TLD .data einzuführen.

Eines Tages begab es sich, dass sich eine Programmiererin (m/w) und ein Bibliothekar (m/w) trafen. Der Bibliothekar sprach: “Du hast Deinen Code in meinen Metadaten!”
Die Programmiererin antwortete: “Deine Metadaten sind in meinem Code!”

So oder ähnlich soll sich die Gründung von Libcatcode.org zugetragen haben. Libcatcode ist eine Q&A-Seite für alle Fragen rund um “cataloging/coding integration and dialogue”.

Die Software dahinter ist übrigens OSQA von Bitnami, das auch für die Answers-Sektion von Semanticweb.com eingesetzt wird.

Anne Christensen macht auf Plan3t.info auf Shelflife (hatten wir hier schon einmal) aufmerksam. Dabei handelt es sich um einen pfiffigen Versuch, den Mehrwert des Stöberns am Regal in die digitale Welt zu übertragen.

Am meisten beeindruckt bin ich davon, dass die Farbe der Buchrücken die Relevanz der jeweiligen Titel abbildet, und zwar auf Grundlage von lokalen Ausleihdaten sowie der Verwendung der Titel in Kursen und Seminaren der Universität. “Community Relevance” heißt dieser Faktor, den das clevere Entwicklungsteam einführt und damit bestehende interessante Vorschläge zur Integration von Popularitätsdaten in Ranking-Algorithmen aufgreift.

Wikimedia stellt ein. Gesucht werden insgesamt 11 MitarbeiterInnen für das Wikidata-Projekt:

Early 2012, Wikimedia Germany e.V. will start the development of WikiData, an ambitious project that we hope will change the Web once again. We are currently looking for a number of people to help us with realizing this goal. The team will be based in Berlin, Germany, and the project aims to be implemented in one year. After completion of the project, we expect many more interesting software projects inspired by this one, so follow-up projects might be possible. In all positions it is a plus to understand Wikipedia and collaborative community processes and communities in general, to speak English and further languages, and to appreciate the scale of a project like Wikipedia.

Gesucht werden:

• Project director (m/f)
• Project manager (m/f)
• Wikimedia community communication (m/f)
• Quality assurance lead (m/f)
• System administrator (m/f)
• 6 Developers (m/f)

Details zu den Positionen und zur Bewerbung gibt es auf der Ausschreibungsseite. Die durchschnittlichen Infobib-LeserInnen sollten für die eine oder andere Stelle in Frage kommen. Also hurtig, fix bewerben! Das Arbeitsklima soll gut sein und das Projekt klingt äußerst spannend.
