busy mashing up stuff

Well, I thought I would try writing something as there's a blank text box here .. I'm busy managing a team dragging in data from 16 different collections / archives / HER sources, squashing it all into an interchange using MDA's SPECTRUM xml, indexing it with Lucene and splurging it out using XSLTs into various platforms. Wrapping that all up with GIS, a mix of thesauri from different domains and allowing users to tag the end result. Result, at the moment, er, organised chaos? Not too bad really… Continue

Hi James - just wrote a big long comment and it got deleted somehow! Here goes again! Take SPECTRUM, abstract the procedures into a series of concept-based processes using the Conceptual Reference Model. Separate out the Units of Information, structure them into a polyheirarchical data structure and then use this as the basis of a schema. use the schema to create an interchange format and map to equivalents in libraries and archives. Then, take existing terms lists and ontologies, write them into an SKOS-based expression language and bung them in a repository. Define a WSDL and use that to feed them out as a live terminology web-service going into Collections Management Systems (and anyone else who wants them). Finally, establish a registration agency for Digital Object Identifiers (www.doi.org) and use them as the basis of a framework of persistent unique identifiers for digital objet records. Have I just made your life better or much, much worse??
