Update on #BIBFRAME Primer project (JSON stuff)
I have acquired the right-plenty collection of responses from my national survey (with a few international contributors) about use and expectations of BIBFRAME and Sinopia. The survey data will generate some kind of writing associated with it separately from the larger project (even as it becomes subsumed by the larger ‘thing’) because I want a whole section of analysis on the people-side of the work.
I have also been working on getting ‘under the hood’ of the technical aspects to the BIBFRAME Editor as implemented by LD4P’s Sinopia. This part has been slower – not for lack of interest or confusion, but the shift to remote working (due to Covid 19) has messed up some routines. Many of these are being put back together…anyway..I am getting a solid education of the JSON Schema – which organizes much of the order in the background. This part has been super fun to see the ranges of applications that use JSON as well as its potential.
Note, I am not at all a programmer – but my systems-oriented thinking grows.
Thank you for reading
Open Comment on #OpenAccess
May 14-16 and 16-17, 2013, National Academy of Sciences hosted an open comment meeting on Open Access to federally funded research and publication and big data. I delivered a comment for the record on May 14, 2013 in which I made a statement about real differences in access between academic library users and public library users.
