01:16 IceCube ok I have some questions, if anyone is still there
01:16 dcook Sort of here
01:16 What's up?
01:16 IceCube hi dcook, thanks
01:16 well I followed the instructions exactly to a certain point and then I'm having a problem accessing the libraryname-intra site
01:16 I just get the "Apache works" page
01:17 does that make sense
01:17 eythian did you set up DNS?
01:17 IceCube yep
01:17 eythian did you ensure that ServerName in the apache config matches the DNS names, in both places?
01:17 IceCube I think that site isn't set up in apache
01:18 eythian have a look in the apache config
01:18 the koha-create process would have made one
01:18 IceCube as far as I can tell
01:18 ok...
01:19 which one do I look in
01:19 eythian the ones that was created
01:19 dcook IceCube: What do you mean by which one?
01:19 eythian *one
01:24 IceCube apache-shared.conf
01:24 and...?
01:24 apache-shared-intranet.conf?
01:26 I'm sorry for what are probably obvious questions
01:26 eythian no
01:26 /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/something.conf
01:27 IceCube oh ok yeah I have the one site but not the other
01:27 I did check that actually
01:28 there is the library name but not the libraryname-intra
01:28 tcohen joined #koha
01:28 eythian yeah, so there are two vhost definitions in that file
01:29 one for opac, one for the admin interface
01:29 they'll both need a correct servername definition
01:29 IceCube the admin one is port 8080?
01:30 eythian it doesn't have to be
01:30 it's up to you how you configure it
01:30 IceCube but the one that is port 8080 by default is the second one (the regular library site defaulting to port 80)?
01:30 eythian I tend to give each one its own DNS name and have them both run on 80
01:30 wizzyrea ^
01:30 eythian the packages don't set anything on 8080 by default
01:30 (I think)
01:31 IceCube I don't think I changed the default
01:31 wizzyrea no, they don't, I just did that and am looking at a fresh package created config file (for unrelated reasons)
01:31 eythian yeah, just checked, they don't
01:31 so you have two virtual host sites. You need to make sure the servername for each of them is correct.
01:31 IceCube huh
01:32 ok
01:32 eythian it's possible you changed it in koha-sites.conf, that's where the defaults come from
01:32 wizzyrea koha on debian?
01:32 wahanui http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Debian
01:33 IceCube_ joined #koha
01:33 IceCube_ Sorry I missed the last thing
01:33 wizzyrea you're so nearly there :)
01:34 eythian wahanui: irc logs
01:34 wahanui irc logs are http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
01:34 eythian that'll get you what you missed
01:35 IceCube_ perfect, thanks.  Bookmarked :)
01:37 I restarted apache after I changed the port to 80 and that did the trick
01:37 eythian awesome
01:37 dcook \o/
01:39 wizzyrea \o/
01:39 dcook confetti?
01:39 wahanui i heard confetti was http://25.media.tumblr.com/tum[…]1qh8hleo1_400.gif
01:39 wizzyrea A+ confetti-ing
01:39 dcook joined #koha
01:39 dcook Well then...
01:40 That mouse has a mind of its own
01:40 IceCube_ LOL
01:45 IceCube ok if I am migrating the database from the old server to this new one, do I need to have the new database have the same name as the old one or can I import the data into a new database with a new name?
01:45 Francesca joined #koha
01:45 cdickinson joined #koha
01:46 chrisvella joined #koha
01:46 eythian IceCube: the database name isn't really important
01:46 IceCube ok
01:46 eythian so long as it won't try to "USE" the original name
01:46 wizzyrea so you'll need to make the databases match, but it's easy to do by editing the sql dump to match the new name (at least that's how I do it)
01:46 eythian if it does, edit that line out.
01:47 wizzyrea or take it out
01:47 jinx.
01:47 IceCube lol
01:47 ok
01:47 gmcharlt joined #koha
01:48 * eythian assumes that gmcharlt's library police are really good at issuing fines.
01:50 gmcharlt joy; unexpected reboot
01:51 huginn joined #koha
01:51 wizzyrea oh, linode?
01:51 wahanui i think linode is better/cheaper than slicehost
01:51 wizzyrea I need to send a hazard notice for k-c.org
01:52 cuz linode is going to reboot it at some point for xen updates
01:52 Francesca oh hello huginns back
01:52 gmcharlt @quote random
01:52 huginn gmcharlt: Quote #273: "rangi: The main thing I came to realise is -- 'Your cataloguing standards are bad, and you should feel bad' - which translates to - 'friends don't let friends use RDA'" (added by wizzyrea at 01:04 AM, August 30, 2013)
01:52 Francesca didn't realise he'd quit
01:53 @wunder wlg
01:53 huginn Francesca: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 17.0°C (2:30 PM NZDT on October 20, 2015). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 52%. Dew Point: 7.0°C. Pressure: 30.01 in 1016 hPa (Steady).
01:53 gmcharlt wizzyrea: whoops, turns out I had completely missed the notification
01:53 wizzyrea haha, was that it
01:54 ?
01:54 I mean, that sucks.
01:56 IceCube ok so now I'm ready to export the old database into the new system
01:56 Everything seems to be in order so far
01:56 tcohen hi gmcharlt
01:56 gmcharlt hi tcohen
01:57 IceCube what's the best process for doing this
02:04 wizzyrea mysqldump the old database
02:05 edit the dump, if necessary, to get rid of the use database entry if it's wrong
02:05 move it to the new server
02:05 then cat dump.sql | sudo koha-mysql instancename (instancename is the name you gave your instance, if that's unclear)
02:06 then you go to the intranet,
02:06 Francesca joined #koha
02:06 wizzyrea log in with the db creds
02:06 and say "yes, update it"
02:06 profit.
02:07 IceCube ok I'll go ahead and start doing that
02:07 wizzyrea at least, hopefully you profit ^.^
02:07 IceCube haha eventually!
02:26 jcamins Better: koha-upgrade-schema instancename
02:26 Unless you already started doing it in the web browser, in which case, just deal.
02:27 (you'll have to use ps to see when the upgrade's finished running)
02:29 tcohen @later tell Joubu this has some answers http://lists.scsys.co.uk/piper[…]-June/001690.html we need to move bug 14778
02:29 huginn tcohen: The operation succeeded.
02:32 wizzyrea yeah, koha-upgrade-schema is better and I always forget about it, mostly because my databases get upgraded when I upgrade with the packages
02:32 automagically
02:32 tcohen automagically++
02:34 jcamins Didn't the prince try to sing about that in Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
02:34 Good night.
02:34 wahanui If you feel like someone is looking through wahanui's window, it's OK, it's just me.
02:36 tcohen night jcamins
02:36 IceCube night
02:45 z0k joined #koha
02:48 eythian wahanui: literal good night
02:48 wahanui eythian: good night =is= <reply>I watch you sleep.|<reply>I'll be waiting for you to come back, $who.|<reply>If you feel like someone is looking through wahanui's window, it's OK, it's just me.|<reply>Don't go, $who. Stay a while. Stay forever.|<reply>sleep tight
02:49 eythian no wahanui, good night is <reply>I watch you sleep.|<reply>I'll be waiting for you to come back, $who.|<reply>Don't go, $who. Stay a while. Stay forever.|<reply>sleep tight
02:49 wahanui okay, eythian.
02:53 tcohen @later tell ribasushi need to talk about thread safe DBIC usage
02:53 huginn tcohen: The operation succeeded.
02:54 * wizzyrea orders tcohen to bed
02:54 wizzyrea shooe
02:54 shoo*
03:01 IceCube_ joined #koha
03:02 tcohen byeeeee
03:11 * eythian does not understand tcohen's "dental plan" reference on the list
03:22 eythian http://bwipp.terryburton.co.uk/ <-- interesting, I wonder if we could use that (a postscript barcode generating library.)
03:33 wizzyrea I think it's a simpsons quote
03:33 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OD9_HOjrVg as in I think he hears "background tasks" like homer hears dental plan
03:35 eythian I see.
03:36 wizzyrea I didn't get it at first either, as I'm not a religious watcher of the simpsons
03:37 ibeardslee so not someone needing a knuckle sandwich?
03:51 dcook I'm not a religious watcher of The Simpsons, but "dental plan" is a classic :p
03:52 I think tcohen was also the one who showed me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I94w30LszoQ
03:53 eythian that's excellent
03:55 dcook I think there is probably a Simpsons quote or I Heart Huckabees quote for pretty much any situation
03:56 eythian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epIT4-gF__M <-- here you go dcook
03:56 dcook I sometimes wonder if meeting you is a good idea, eythian ;)
03:56 eythian heh
03:57 dcook I would've seen your 10 hours and raise you 10 minutes, but that would be the wrong way around... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg_ArW8lrl0
03:58 eythian why do you need 10 minutes when you have 10 hours?
03:58 dcook Exactly
03:58 Next time someone brings out 10 minutes, I'll bring out that 10 hours
03:58 hard?
03:58 hard is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg_ArW8lrl0
03:58 hard?
03:58 wahanui hmmm... hard is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg_ArW8lrl0
04:45 IceCube wizzy, question about something you said earlier
04:45 if you don't mind
04:46 dcook She might not be around now
04:46 I think it's after 6pm where she is
04:46 What's up?
04:46 Ah after 5pm
04:46 daylight savings caught up..
04:47 IceCube ahh ok
04:48 well she said that I have to edit the dump (mysqldump) of the old database to get rid of the entry if it's wrong
04:48 before I migrate it to the new system
04:48 I'm wondering if that is the line that says "Current Database"
04:58 dcook Alas, I have no idea what you're talking about
04:58 What's wrong with the dump?
04:58 IceCube ok well then I have another question
04:59 well she said I should change the entry and I _think_ she meant the old name
04:59 I'm moving it to a new system and the new one has a different name
05:03 dcook You mean a database name?
05:03 IceCube right
05:07 dcook Yeah you might need to go into the sql and change the name
05:07 Let's see if I have a dump around to see...
05:08 Hmm I don't see anything in a normal dump specific to the database
05:09 IceCube What about the line "Current Database"
05:09 dcook I've never heard of a line like that
05:09 Can you copy and paste?
05:09 You can use this link: http://paste.koha-community.org/
05:09 IceCube yep gimme a sec
05:11 Viktor joined #koha
05:12 pastebot "IceCube" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "-- -- Current Database: `name_" (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/111
05:12 IceCube I couldn't get it to cut/past because debian is running in a vm and it won't copy from there into here but I just typed out the line
05:13 actually I think I can get it to work
05:14 dcook Bi-directional clipboard is awesome for that :D
05:15 That should just be a comment, I believe
05:15 For humans
05:15 pastebot "IceCube" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "-- MySQL dump 10.13 Distrib 5." (22 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/112
05:15 mario joined #koha
05:16 IceCube there it is
05:16 oh so the -- is comment?
05:16 dcook Ahhh at the bottom
05:16 Yeah SQL comments are "--" and "/* */"
05:16 IceCube Well that's the top of the file
05:16 ahhh ok got it
05:16 dcook But at the bottom it does have some real SQL
05:16 IceCube didn't realize they were also --
05:16 dcook CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ `koha_koha` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET la$
05:16 IceCube yep ok I see it
05:16 dcook That looks really weird though
05:17 How did you do the backup?
05:17 IceCube mysqldump to a file
05:17 dcook What version of MySQL?
05:17 IceCube mysqldump -A > FILENAME.sql
05:17 dcook O_o
05:17 IceCube 5.1.73-1
05:17 dcook Why the -A?
05:17 Wow... 5.1...
05:17 IceCube that's what someone told me to do
05:18 dcook Someone here?
05:18 IceCube I don't think so... I don't see it in the irc log
05:18 dcook Because that's going to dump all databases into that file
05:18 Which I'm guessing is almost certainly not what you want to do
05:18 check out "man mysqldump"
05:19 IceCube Well I need several of them but only one is a koha db
05:19 dcook That'll give you the syntax
05:19 Several of them?
05:19 Koha only needs one
05:19 IceCube we have other things running that use mysql
05:19 dcook Then do them individually I'd say
05:19 IceCube ok
05:19 dcook Or you can edit the SQL that comes out
05:19 But that's liekly to be more error prone I think
05:19 IceCube you're prob right I'll go do it individually

05:48 bug 14100 - woohoo!
05:48 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=14100 new feature, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Passed QA , Generic solution for language overlay
05:48 magnuse cait++
05:48 and Joubu++ of course
05:48 dcook Just about!
05:49 Ooh. I've seen mentions of this.
05:49 What's it about?
05:49 Oooo
05:49 magnuse being able to translate things like authorized values
05:50 eventually, being able to translate all sorts of strings that are in the db and that until now has only been possible to have in one language
05:58 dcook That would be great :)
05:59 I've recently started working on Android apps for fun
05:59 And I kind of like the way that Java projects seem to do things
05:59 Where in your code or your template you refer to an identifier in a file
05:59 And then you can toggle between different language files
06:00 Although even then I think they run into problems with having strings in a db in one language so an overlay would still be useful..
06:02 cait joined #koha
06:02 magnuse kia ora cait!
06:09 IceCube wellll.... now I'm getting a different error
06:09 I feel like that is progress going from one error to a different one
06:10 pastebot "IceCube" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Software error: Can't call met" (6 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/113
06:10 magnuse IceCube++ for persistence :-)
06:10 IceCube haha
06:10 thanks magnuse
06:11 dcook It's tough cleaning up a bad mess, but it's worth it!
06:11 I've heard of this error before but I haven't seen it myself I think
06:11 IceCube I know in the end it will be satisfying
06:12 dcook Ahh...
06:12 I'm guessing perhaps your credentials are set up correctly?
06:13 IceCube well I thought they were, they seemed to be working earlier and I haven't changed them
06:32 I'm really stuck here.  This is annoying.
06:32 I can log into the database fine
06:33 it looks like a number of people have experienced this problem and discussed it recently on here
06:33 I'm looking through to see if anything is helpful

06:58 are you a koha guru?

07:05 Joubu your db is not reachable, either your credentials are wrong, or the server is down
07:05 or a lot of other possibilities
07:05 IceCube yeah... trying to figure out those possibilities!
07:06 server isn't down, I'm on it now
07:06 Joubu what about the credentials?
07:07 What's your Koha version?
07:08 IceCube latest
07:08 Just installed today
07:08 the creds... ok well it was working earlier and then I imported the data from a mysqldump from an old koha server and since then I've gotten this error
07:10 I set up a new server with the latest debian and koha and wanted to migrate the old database into it from the old server
07:10 does that make sense?
07:11 Joubu mysql or mariadb? if mysql, which version are you using?
07:11 IceCube mysql
07:11 Joubu Do you have another error before the "can't call do on unblessed ref"?
07:12 IceCube mysql 14.14
07:12 no that's what I get when I point my browser to the site
07:12 Joubu mysql 14.14?
07:13 IceCube mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.44 for debian-linux-gnu ...
07:13 Joubu check in the Koha log files, you could have another error
07:13 IceCube I should mention I'm not a linux guy or a koha guy.  I've done windows tech support for a long time so I'm not afraid to try things, I just don't know what to try
07:14 Joubu try the Koha logs :)
07:14 tail -f /var/log/koha/$instance/*.log # replace $instance
07:14 then reload the page
07:15 IceCube yep it says the same thing in there
07:16 also name-koha-zebra: client killed by signal 15, stopping
07:18 Joubu nothing else before? :)
07:18 andreashm joined #koha
07:19 Joubu Something like "Can't connect to mysql server"?
07:19 IceCube hold on let me output it to a file
07:20 Joubu could you edit C4/Context.pm and give me what is your line 794?
07:20 IceCube sure gimme a sec

07:26 IceCube Joubu there's the logs
07:26 Joubu so you have it :)
07:26 fridolin Joubu: it uses MARC::Crosswalk::DublinCore
07:26 Joubu IceCube: Access denied for user 'koha_olgs'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
07:26 your credentials are wrong
07:27 IceCube sigh ok any idea how to make them right?
07:27 I could access the page before importing the db
07:27 Joubu fridolin: yes I know, but do you know what kind of file (format, data, etc.) is expected on exporting a unimarc record?
07:27 edit $KOHA_CONF
07:28 IceCube ok
07:29 fridolin Joubu: mmmm no idea
07:29 IceCube I found that user.  It's some random default password
07:29 Joubu IceCube: locate a koha-conf.xml file (which is defined by $KOHA_CONF), in it you have a config section
07:29 with database/hostname/user/pass
07:30 IceCube yep I'm there
07:30 Joubu update these info to fit your needs :)
07:34 IceCube ok done.  I got the login screen.  I logged in and received this error: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20/DBI.pm line 2064.
07:35 paul_p joined #koha
07:36 Joubu IceCube: I am not sure what you did, but it's not normal to get all these errors
07:37 you should try a fresh install on a fresh server, using the packages
07:38 IceCube That's what this is
07:39 I installed everything from scratch today on a VM and it was working fine until I imported the old database
07:39 Joubu no, the credentials were wrong, so you didn't install Koha correctly
07:39 IceCube If I do it over the same thing will just happen, I think.
07:40 magnuse IceCube: you should have got a upgrade screen after you imported the old database and logged in
07:40 IceCube Well when I logged in the first time to the site with the browser it let me
07:40 I imported the db and was then not able to log in to see the upgrade screen
07:40 magnuse what user were you trying to log in as?
07:41 IceCube I logged in as the koha_olgs on via the browser with the password that was in the koha-conf.xml file and that worked.
07:41 before importing the db
07:41 magnuse and that should work after importing the db too
07:41 IceCube but it didn't :(
07:41 Joubu magnuse: it's not on the same server
07:42 IceCube it is
07:42 Joubu IceCube: but the credentials in your koha-conf.xml file was wrong, and that's quite weird :)
07:42 IceCube well wrong compared to what, I guess.  Are there credentials in the imported db?
07:43 I know these are prob noob questions but this is new territory
07:43 Joubu no, only in this config file
07:43 IceCube I apologize
07:44 magnuse no worries, we like to help :-)
07:44 IceCube I'm just going to uninstalland try again I think.  This is ridiculous.
07:44 I really appreciate all your guys' help
07:44 I must have made a mistake somewhere
07:45 I really don't know what that would be, though.  I was careful to follow the guide and the advice of wizzyrea and dcook
07:46 magnuse let me see if i got the facts right: you got an old sql dump from an old koha on an old server. then you did a fresh install of current koha on a fresh vm. after running koha-create you could log in to the instance with the username and password from koha-conf.xml. then you loaded the old sql dump into the fresh database with something like "sudo koha-mysql <instance> < dump.sql" and after that you could not log in with the username and password from koha-con
07:46 f.xml?
07:47 IceCube exactly
07:49 saiful joined #koha
07:49 magnuse the username and password from koha-conf.xml should work the same, no matter what you loaded into the database, so there is something weird going on
07:49 IceCube ok one possibility
07:49 wahanui one possibility is that my vhost definitions are listening on the external interface but not the internal one
07:50 IceCube I imported the database using a different mysql username - would that matter?
07:50 magnuse a different username for the same database?
07:51 IceCube I had to provide credentials to import it
07:51 Joubu IceCube: the error you got was " Access denied for user 'koha_olgs'@'localhost'"
07:51 IceCube I think I used a different uername
07:51 right
07:51 Joubu it seems there is a typo...
07:52 ok is it olgs?
07:52 IceCube I thiiiiinnkk I used root
07:52 Joubu So you have to give rights to this user
07:53 IceCube well I already deleted everything
07:53 This has been going on for almost 11 hours now
07:53 I am thinking of my favorite word: defenestration.
07:54 :)
07:57 except it's a vm so that makes that impossible
08:04 magnuse when you have a new instance, make sure you can log in with the username/password from koha-conf.xml. then load the dump with "sudo koha-mysql <instance> < dump.sql" and make sure you can still log in with the username/password from koha-conf.xml
08:06 IceCube ok
08:08 magnuse if the name of the database is different in the old and the new server, you might have to edit the start of the sql dump file
08:08 did you do that
08:08 ?
08:08 IceCube yep
08:08 magnuse it depends on how the dump was created, i think
08:08 ah, cool
08:09 IceCube wt* now apache won't start

08:36 I'm sure I just have to delete it somewhere but can't figure out where
08:37 nm got that figured out

10:36 andreashm magnuse: (picking up on your last comment) so the idea is to add a triple-store to Koha?
10:37 what else is needed to provide RDF support for Koha? Mappings to Marc, the ability to add Thesauri etc?
10:39 I guess Tomás bug 14645 is also needed?

11:24 magnuse andreashm: there are several ways to do it. my idea is first to keep marc, but transform marc to rdf (with e.g. https://github.com/digibib/marc2rdf) and build better end user services on that. then we can start to talk about cataloguing in rdf and getting rid of marc
11:27 andreashm magnuse: sounds like a good plan. but it is also a good idea to allow ingestion of rdf directly (in Sweden we have LIBRIS cataloging in RDF for instance).

11:27 sure!
11:38 saiful joined #koha
11:43 andreashm magnuse: it is also something we could get funding for (hint, hint). =) so what would you think is needed more than adding a triple-store for Koha to be able to harvest records from LIBRIS (if we also develop the harvester to handle RDF)? Any ideas?
11:43 wahanui okay, andreashm.

12:20 dojobo hello
12:20 wahanui que tal, dojobo
12:21 tcohen dojobo?
12:21 magnuse hiya tcohen and dojobo
12:22 dojobo tcohen, magnuse was discussing the idea of implementing linked data in koha
12:22 tcohen who are you dojobo?
12:23 dojobo uh, my name is Dominic, i work at an astronomical library
12:24 magnuse what kind of (R)DBMS do you use for a triple store?
12:32 Joubu tcohen: yep, finishing my lunch and I am back
12:35 magnuse not a dbms, but an actual triplestore. i have played with a really simple one which is just one php file, called ARC2. also one that is a beast to configure that i can't remember the name of
12:35 it's been a while since i looked, there might be better alternatives now
12:35 tcohen your patches for bug 14778 fix the problems with MySQL connection drops

12:37 magnuse ah, virtuoso
12:39 dojobo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[…]-object_databases
12:39 i know DPLA (digital public library of america) is using apache marmotta
12:41 Joubu tcohen: back
12:43 dojobo magnuse have you looked at bibframe at all?
12:43 it's an initiative to do linked data with library catalogs
12:45 tcohen @seen marcelr
12:45 huginn tcohen: marcelr was last seen in #koha 1 day, 6 hours, 8 minutes, and 56 seconds ago: <marcelr> hi #koha
12:45 dojobo i'm not sure it provides much technical help yet though, it might be more oriented towards RDF vocabularies and such
12:45 tcohen @later tell marcelr come back
12:45 huginn tcohen: The operation succeeded.
12:46 dojobo looks like they do have a marcxml -> rdf transformation tool though

13:12 NateC joined #koha
13:12 andreashm magnuse: yes, showing some practical use is good - but first we need to have circulation and so forth working with the imported RDF
13:12 tcohen: no, haven't had time today. might look around a little now though.
13:14 magnuse andreashm: yeah, that is why i prefer to transform marc2rdf, and use the rdf to build cool things while circ etc still works with the marc data
13:14 one notch less radical than deichman :-)
13:15 andreashm hehe
13:16 well, our perspective is how we can get Koha to work better with LIBRIS XL - which would probably be better of not converting the data to Marc.
13:16 But items shouldn't be a problem really as that is not Marc, but separate tables in the database?
13:16 magnuse i have a serial set to create items on receiving, but when i get to the item detail for no barcode ($y) is generated when i click in the barcode field. anyone else seen that?
13:17 andreashm: yeah, maybe :-)
13:17 but ripping marc out of koha and replacing it with rdf is going to be a huge thing
13:17 much easier if you can dumb the rdf down to (very, very) minimal marc records that koha can chew on
13:18 s/item detail for/item detail form/
13:18 JoshB joined #koha
13:21 andreashm magnuse: so keep RDF for OPAC (and perhaps staff?) for fun stuff, and at the same time create slim marc record for circulation etc.?
13:21 magnuse andreashm: yup. not perfect, but doable, i think
13:22 andreashm since my perspective is the staff interface (we don't use the OPAC) - how will that be affected by your idea?
13:24 also, I'm considering how such an approach would impact the harvesting of records.
13:24 but I kind of like the thought. =)
13:28 magnuse so far, i have only thought about the opac :-)
13:29 but yeah, transform rdf to minimal marc and store that in koha so items and issues etc can hang off them
13:31 then use circ etc as normal
13:32 i guess browsing and searching in the staff client could also be enhanced with rdf data, to make it easier for staff to help patrons
13:32 but the real interesting thing about rdf to me is the possibility to create meaningful connections between things, thus enhancing discovery
