The Faceted Classification |
A faceted classification differs from a traditional one in that it does not assign fixed slots to subjects in sequence, but uses clearly defined, mutually
exclusive, and collectively exhaustive aspects, properties, or characteristics of a class or specific subject. Such aspects, properties, or characteristics
are called facets of a class or subject, a term introduced into classification theory and given this new meaning by the Indian librarian and classificationist
S.R. Ranganathan and first used in his Colon Classification in the early 1930s. |

Introduzione all'archivistica
|
"Le pagine che seguono non vogliono essere una sorta di "prontuario" di regole e strategie adatte
ad ogni tipo di operazione archivistica (dalla consultazione alla gestione, all'organizzazione):
ogni archivio è una realtà a sè stante, con una struttura ed una storia uniche ed imprescindibili,
e che, come tali, vanno analizzate attentamente.
Il corso di "Introduzione agli archivi" è concepito come uno strumento che, almeno in parte, può
aiutare a districarsi all'interno delle strutture e delle istituzioni archivistiche, ad entrare in
relazione con esse, a comprendere in che modo debbano e possano essere indagate, fruite,
organizzate, a percepirne il fascino e la rilevanza storico-culturale."

Gruppo di lavoro IFLA su FRBR |
"MARC formats are problematic when it comes to actual linking devices, and FRBR highlights the
notion of bibliographic relationships, that are best expressed as actual links. In particular, most
MARC formats are rather inadequate in expressing links between authority records. New tools such
as XML seem to be more convenient in that regard"

All Consuming |
This page is the result of several different processes. Inspired by Book Watch, I created a script that visits newly updated
weblogs hourly via Weblogs.com (if you'd like to let me know that there are books on your page, use weblogs.com's ping form).
The script then looks for links to Amazon.com items and saves them. I then aggregate all that information together to find the
most frequently mentioned books. My scoring mechanism is weighted to favor recently mentioned books, so that the list remains
fresh, and offers new insight into what the weblog community is reading at the moment.
All product information is stored on my server after being retrieved from Amazon.com. Likewise, information from Google is
also saved for a day before being retrieved again.

Moving theory into practice: digital imaging tutorial |
This tutorial offers base-level information on the use of digital
imaging to convert and make accessible cultural heritage materials. It also introduces some concepts
advocated by Cornell University Library, in particular the value of benchmarking requirements before
undertaking a digital initiative. You will find here up-to-date technical information, formulas, and
reality checks, designed to test your level of understanding.
The tutorial can stand on its own, but it is intended to be used in tandem with another product,
Moving Theory into Practice: Digital Imaging for Libraries and Archives, by Anne R. Kenney and Oya
Y. Rieger (RLG, 2000). This publication picks up where the tutorial leaves off and advocates an integrated
approach to digital imaging programs, from selection to access to preservation and management.
Over 50 international experts contributed to the intellectual content of this book.

Metadata is essential web writing skill |
"Metadata is the: who, what, where, when and how, of your
content. It is that 30 second elevator description. Metadata
may include: heading/title, summary/description, author
name, date of publication, geographic classification, subject
classification, keywords."

Denton, William. "FRBR and Fundamental Cataloguing Rules." May 2003. |
"Abstract: IFLA's proposed data model, Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR),
arranges bibliographic entities in a new way, using an entity-relationship model that unites the products of
intellectual and artistic endeavour, their creators, and their subjects. A catalogue that uses FRBR principles would
give the user more helpful information and power over the collection than current catalogues do. This essay looks
back at the fundamental laws and objectives of cataloguing and librarianship — as set down by Panizzi,
Cutter, Lubetzky, and Ranganathan — and shows how FRBR embodies them. The FRBR
entity-relationship model is described, and a possible web-based FRBR-aware catalogue imagined. Current
work on FRBR, including experiments done with WorldCat, is examined. FRBR offers great hope for the future
of catalogues. "

FEDORA |
"The Fedora project was established under the auspices
of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to build a digital
object repository management system based on the
Flexible Extensible Digital Object and Repository
Architecture (Fedora). The new system, designed to be
a foundation upon which interoperable web-based
digital libraries, institutional repositories and other
information management systems can be built,
demonstrates how distributed digital library architecture
can be deployed using web-based technologies,
including XML and Web services.
Jointly developed by the University of Virginia and
Cornell University, the system completely implements
the Fedora architecture, adding utilities such as batch
creation tools and interactive programs for creating
behavior objects that facilitate repository management.
The version 1.0 of the software is aimed at providing a
repository that can handle one million objects efficiently
using only open source software. Later versions of the
software will add important functionality, such as policy
enforcement, versioning of objects and performance
enhancement to support very large repositories.
The software has the following key features:
- It is written in Java 1.4.
- A repository is exposed as a Web service and is
described using Web Services Description
Language (WSDL).Digital object behaviors are
implemented as linkages to distributed web
services that are expressed using WSDL and
implemented via HTTP GET/POST or SOAP
bindings.
- Digital objects are encoded and stored as XML
using the Metadata Encoding and Transmission
Standard (METS).
- All of the software resulting from the project is
freely available under an open-source Mozilla
Public License."

PREMIS |
In 2001-02, OCLC and RLG convened an expert working group, reflecting a variety of institutional
and geographical backgrounds, to consider the types of information falling within the scope of
preservation metadata. The group's efforts culminated in the public release of
A Metadata
Framework to Support the Preservation of Digital Objects (PDF:696K/54pp.), a comprehensive
metadata framework describing the information necessary to carry out, document, and evaluate
digital preservation processes.
Using the metadata framework as a conceptual foundation and starting point for its work, the
PREMIS working group will carry forward the activities of the first working group. The focus of the
PREMIS group will be on the practical aspects of implementing preservation metadata in digital
preservation systems.

Come si scrive per il web |
A key element in the success (or otherwise) of any Website is the
information it provides. If you want your site to stand out from the
Internet crowd, you need to provide the most Web-friendly content you
can. And given the volumes of text on the Web, making sure that what
you write is Web friendly is obviously important.

Challenges and Opportunities Presented by Archiving in the Electronic Era / Kevin M. Guthrie
|
In building an electronic archive of scholarly journals, JSTOR has found that important decisions must be made in five broad areas: technology, backup and preservation, relationships with content owners, relationships with content users, and economic sustainability. Perhaps most importantly, however, we believe that that the discussion of archiving needs to be centered not so much upon how it should be done, but on the proper organizations that should be taking on the responsibility. The job of insuring the long-term availability of electronic materials is a dynamic challenge that resists once-and-for-all solutions; and therefore requires the dynamic and flexible capabilities of organizations with a mission specifically directed toward providing this service.

Greg's digital retouching portfolio
|
Each link above leads to sample image galleries that showcase work
I have done for design studios, advertising agencies and digital pre-press houses.
Inside each gallery, you will find thumbnail links. When clicked upon, these thumbnail
links will zoom into different areas of each image. Rolling the mouse over these images will display
the original scan before it was retouched. All of the original scans in these galleries were supplied. I
am only taking credit for the retouching, not the photography. These are only on display for the purposes of
showcasing my portfolio and should never be distributed.

L'evoluzione dell'RSS: ECHO?
|
Why are you doing this? RSS is five years old. It was designed for news sites,
a way for them to list the stories they had. Things are different now, and RSS is mostly
used as a way of sending around the content of weblogs. RSS has been kludged and pushed into this
world, but it doesn't really fit.
In other words, you're building a better RSS. Well, what we're doing isn't just a replacement for RSS --
it's also a chance to unify the blogging formats. Now, if you want to build a weblog tool like NetNewsWire
that can both read and write weblogs, you need to know a variety of different formats and protocols: HTTP,
XML-RPC, RSS 0.9, RSS 0.91, RSS 0.92, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, the Blogger API, the MetaWeblog
API, the new Blogger API, etc. We'd like to make this just one format (Echo) and one protocol (HTTP).

The Organizational Model for Open Source
|
Programmers contribute to free software and open source projects
for many reasons—some for the fun of it, some to improve their skills,
others for a paycheck. Many people have wondered why these people give their work away.
The truth is that many projects have incorporated in order to protect themselves from individual
liability. Since the Free Software Foundation was founded in 1985, a number of new nonprofit
foundations have formed, often around specific technologies, to serve the interests of programmers.

"This is another essay I wrote in the spring of 2003 for Prof. Clare Beghtol's course
on the theory of classification and knowledge organization, at the Faculty of Information Studies at the University of Toronto.
It was a fascinating course. We didn't talk about FRBR but I had become interested in it after reading a mention in American Libraries
(reference below), and it tied in to topic maps and ontologies and all that, so I made it the subject of my final essay, this twenty-two-pager.
I'm glad I did. It's a great topic, and reading Lubetzky was a treat. (He died, aged 103, while I was researching this."
