| 12:01 | kados | owen: ok ... committed to rel_2_2 |
| 12:02 | thd: do you have an opinion about which service is better: keystone or the resolvers offered by ReSearcher? | |
| 12:07 | owen: you can commit it to HEAD after you make the necessary changes ;-) | |
| 12:27 | thd | kados: sorry, I had a disconnection and we missed a few of each others messages |
| 12:31 | kados: CUFTS has no support for 1.0 OpenURLs, the NISO standard. There is a message one of the CUFTS files about help with that and I have seen a powerpoint from 2003 where SFU people were considering the issues of the then draft NISO standard. | |
| 12:36 | kados: CUFTS also has no library configurable page for the library to present the results and the user to choose options for accessing the results. | |
| 12:37 | kados: Keystone as a federated search tool excels at user presented options for the results | |
| 12:40 | kados: CUFTS has limits on the depth of search fields to identify an article. | |
| 12:42 | kados: I have not investestigated Keystone enough for the resolver administration issues nor CUFTS for that matter. | |
| 12:43 | kados: Keystone does support either 0.1 or the NISO standard 1.0 OpenURLs | |
| 12:46 | kados: there may be things missing from the Keystone system as federated search tool that a resolver should have for administration that had been considered better for CUFTS as a resolver only system | |
| 12:48 | kados: I will update my aptget sources file for Indexdata stuff to investigate further. | |
| 12:56 | kados: Do you have access to the PINES cataloguing test demo? It has expired online, although, a new test demo is listed as fortcoming this past May. | |
| 12:58 | kados: Why sould a test demo be temporary and then withdrawn if not at the moment it was replaced? | |
| 13:01 | kados: Have you ever seen such a practice? Of course I have kept my test demos hidden, myself, until they meet my expectations :) | |
| 13:18 | kados: I had forgotten one very important thing in favour of CUFTS where Keystone might otherwise seem to the most advantages. CUFTS is written in Perl :) | |
| 13:19 | kados: are you still there? | |
| 13:20 | kados | thd: yep |
| 13:20 | thd: your comments are very useful | |
| 13:21 | thd | kados: Why sould a test demo be temporary and then withdrawn if not at the moment it was replaced? |
| 13:21 | kados | thd: not really sure why that was |
| 13:22 | owen | Maybe they wanted to get feedback about that particular stage, and then pull it while they worked on the comments |
| 13:23 | thd | kados: the test demo for the cataloguing module in PINES has not been available for some months and should have been replaced in May according to the text file that appears in place of the download. |
| 13:23 | :( | |
| 13:24 | kados | thd: I feel your pain ;-) |
| 13:24 | thd | thd shrugs :) |
| 13:27 | owen: I would send them comments if I could look at it, as I imagine others would. | |
| 13:28 | kados: aren't you working closely with Mike Rylander on FreeILL? | |
| 13:56 | kados | thd: yep |
| 13:58 | thd | kados: would you ask him about where or why he is hiding the demos for PINES? |
| 13:59 | kados: I had thought of looking the cataloguing module to see if I could find a useful approach before working on the design I had suggested for Koha cataloguing | |
| 14:01 | kados: I want to start working seriously on the catalaguing module in three weeks or so. | |
| 14:05 | kados: Right now Eric Hellman from Openly Informatics has given a call for everyone to contribute what they might to his draft proposal for latent OpenURLs or live with the consequences of his recommendation for the use of OpenURLs in HTML pages. | |
| 14:06 | kados | cool ... |
| 14:10 | thd | http://www.openly.com/openurlref/latent-span.html |
| 14:13 | join the oddly named GCS-PCS list linked in the proposal if you are interested in the use of OpenURLs in a public and cross-institutional context. | |
| 14:13 | kados | thd: i will ... thanks for pointing me to it |
| 14:14 | thd | the group considering this is a little small. |
| 14:14 | there are archives. | |
| 14:15 | they would have solved this already or at least had the issues more fully aired if they had more eyes :) | |
| 14:16 | kados | yep |
| 14:16 | I'm skimming the archives now | |
| 14:18 | thd | there is also the openurl list with archives |
| 14:18 | I will search for the link | |
| 18:48 | kados: are you there? |
