Open Metadata Pathway
The project is a collaboration between King's College London Archives, King's Centre for e-Research and the University of London Computer Centre (ULCC), utilising data held by partners in AIM25 (Archives in London and the M25) - the archive description aggregation service maintained by King's Archives and ULCC. The Open Metadata Pathway project will deliver a demonstrator of the effectiveness of opening up archival catalogues to widened automated linking and discovery.

I Have Yet to Metadata I Didn’t Like » AI3:::Adaptive Information
That droning was a combination of the sense of righteousness in the superiority of linked data matched with a reprise of the “chicken-and-egg” argument that plagued the early years of semantic Web advocacy [1]. I think both of these premises are misplaced. So, while I have been a fan and explicator of linked data for some time, I do not worship at its altar [2]. And, for those that do, this post argues for a greater sense of ecumenism.

dc-provenance [dc-provenance]
A new DCMI Task Group has been established on the issue of Metadata Provenance. The group aims to define an application profile that allows for making assertions about description statements or description sets, creating a shared model of the data elements required to describe an aggregation of metadata statements in order to collectively import, access, use and publish facts about the quality, rights, timeliness, data source type, trust situation, etc. of the described statements. The Task Group is led by Kai Eckert of the University of Mannheim and Michael Panzer of OCLC who have become members of the DCMI Advisory Board. See the charter for more information.

haypo / hachoir / wiki / Home — bitbucket.org
Hachoir is a Python library that allows to view and edit a binary stream field by field. In other words, Hachoir allows you to "browse" any binary stream just like you browse directories and files. A file is split in a tree of fields, where the smallest field is just one bit.

oort - Project Hosting on Google Code
Oort is a collection of formats and libraries/tools aimed to facilitate use of RDF. It is geared towards instrumental mechanisms for reading and manipulating RDF data.

The project itself aims to be an umbrella for methods of using RDF in settings where code-centric objects, such as JSON (and "instrumental" xml) are easier to work with than full-fledged RDF.

eaditor - Project Hosting on Google Code
An Orbeon XForms framework for the creation and editing of Encoded Archival Description (EAD) finding aids.

By default, Orbeon is configured to read from an eXist database within the Orbeon application, but one can refigure the software to read and write from a filesystem or pull data through a REST interface, like the Fedora repository software.

Orbeon is a Apache Tomcat application. EADitor also comes packaged with a simple Apache Cocoon application that lists EAD files in the eXist database, allows users to expand the dsc, and enables users to select specific components they wish to edit.

Tripcel: Functions over RDF Language Elements
Tripcel is a tool that combines Semantic Web technologies (RDF) with the spreadsheet metaphor. It allows you to load data (a background graph), and to analyze these data using formulas that you enter into spreadsheet cells. These analysis sheets can be saved and loaded independently of the background graph, which allows you to apply the calculations to different data sets.

Outgoing: Bibliographic Statistics 2009
In case you are tempted to think the decline in record length heralds a trend towards bibliographic simplicity, you may be as startled as I was to see the number of different MARC subfields almost double from 1,670 to 3,278! I doubt if that has ever happened in 36 months before. Even the addition of 63 million records doesn't explain it (although the amount of non-US cataloging added might).

Format Description Service
Format Description Service performs format identification, validation and characterization on a given file. The result is expressed in PREMIS schema containing a PREMIS object for the identification and characterization result, a PREMIS event describing the validation status with applicable anomaly, and a PREMIS agent containing the format description service url.

Repository eXchange Package (RXP) Spec
The Repository Exchange Package (RXP) is a hierarchical packaging format designed to facilitate the exchange of Archival Information Packages (AIPs) between digital repositories. The RXP employs METS and PREMIS metadata documents to encode AIP preservation and structural metadata at the root level. All other data are stored in the files subdirectory. Certain aspects of the RXP structure were inspired by the BagIt specification.
