Confessions of a Graph Addict

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Today I’m going to be at the annual conference of the American Library Association today for a pre-conference about Libraries and Linked Data. I’m going to try talking about how Linked Data, and particularly how the graph data structure fits the way catalogers have typically thought about bibliiographic information. Along the way I’ll include some [...]

history and genealogy at semwebdc

Monday, March 22, 2010

spine CC BY 2.0 Last week’s Washington DC Semantic Web Meetup focused on History and Genealogy Semantics. It was a pretty small, friendly crowd (about 15-20) that met for the first time at the Library of Congress. The group included folks from PBS, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the Center for History [...]

resource maps and site maps

Friday, August 1, 2008

Andy reminds me that a relatively simple idea (I think it was David’s at RepoCamp) for the OAI-ORE Challenge would be to create a tool that transformed OAI-ORE resource maps expressed as Atom into Google Site Maps. This would allow “repositories” that exposed their “objects” as resource maps, to easily be crawled by Google and [...]

RepoCamp recap

Monday, July 28, 2008

So RepoCamp was a lot of fun. The goal was to discuss repository interoperability–and at the very least repository practitioners got to interoperate, and have a few beers afterwards. Hats off to David Flanders who clearly has got running these events down to a fine art. I finally got to meet Ben O’Steen after bantering [...]

oai-ore post baltimore thoughts

Thursday, March 13, 2008

The recent OAI-ORE meeting was just up the road in Baltimore, so it was easy for a bunch of us from the Library of Congress to attend. I work on a team at LC that is specifically looking at the role that repositories play at the library; I’ve implemented OAI-PMH data providers and harvesters, and [...]

oai-ore and the shadow web

Friday, February 22, 2008

The OAI-ORE meeting is coming up, and in general I’ve been really impressed with the alpha specs that have come out. It’s not clear that there’s an established vocabulary for talking about aggregated resources on the web, so the Data Model and Vocabulary documents were of particular interest to me. One thing I didn’t quite [...]

good ore

Friday, November 2, 2007

In case you missed it the Object-Reuse-and-Exchange (ORE) folks are having a get together at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) on March 3, 2008. It’s free to register, but space is limited. The Compound information objects whitepaper, May 2007 Technical Committee notes and the more recent Interoperability for the Discovery, Use, and Re-Use of Units [...]
