Think data! (in a wholly non-geeky way)
Thanks to Joss for tipping me off to this slideshow; I thought it was worth (re-)re-posting.
It’s by Mike Ellis, Solutions Architect at Eduserv. His motto in a nutshell: “I like IT, but people are better“.
Mashup lightning talk #2…
…this was a talk that Joss and I gave yesterday, around the idea of using WordPress MU + Scriblio + Triplify to create a semantic, union catalogue. Joss has already blogged it (and for some reason, for him Slideshare worked fine…?).
Paul and I have just presented our ‘lightning talk’ on the use of WordPress MU and Scriblio to create a platform for publishing multiple OPAC catalogues and then exposing the aggregate data as RDF using Triplify. I blogged about this idea a while back and this is the first presentation we’ve given. Not sure what people made of it. Too ambitious? Threatening? Confusing? All I know is that from where I’m standing, it would require a relatively small amount of funding to show it working in principle with a handful of library catalogues. The difficult part would be scaling it to work for 100+ catalogues (though bear in mind, wordpress.com hosts 6 million sites) and satisfying the politics of each institution. Still, that shouldn’t stop us from trying.
My Mashed Library lightning talk – atoz’n'rss
Edit (8th July) – slideshare.net does not seem to like displaying these slides on-screen, so here they are to download in MS PowerPoint format.
Here are the slides (on slideshare.net) of the 5-minute lightning talk I just gave at Mashed Library 2009, on using ticTOCs data to display e-journal ToC feeds, and on creating a new-titles feed with Yahoo Pipes, etc.
