Wow. Thank you, Owen! As a way not to lose these, I have done a crude page on the futurelib wiki with the contents of your mail, and promise to clean it up at some not too distant date: http://futurelib.pbworks.com/w/page/48408645/MARC%20in%20RDF When/if I get the time, I will try to dig into the details of some of these and see how one could do a comparison. Obviously, if someone else is able to do that before I get to it, *please* post here! kc Quoting Owen Stephens <[log in to unmask]>: > It would be great to start collecting transforms together - just a > quick brain dump of some I'm aware of > > MARC21 transformations > Cambridge University Library - http://data.lib.cam.ac.uk - > transformation made available (in code) from same site > Open University - http://data.open.ac.uk - specific transform for > materials related to teaching, code available at > http://code.google.com/p/luceroproject/source/browse/trunk%20luceroproject/OULinkedData/src/uk/ac/open/kmi/lucero/rdfextractor/RDFExtractor.java (MARC transform is in libraryRDFExtraction > method) > COPAC - small set of records from the COPAC Union catalogue - data > and transform not yet published > Podes Projekt - LinkedAuthors - documentation at > http://bibpode.no/linkedauthors/doc/Pode-LinkedAuthors-Documentation.pdf - 2 > stage transformation firstly from MARC to FRBRized version of data, > then from FRBRized data to RDF.
