@jamescummings @AlSweigart You have to admit it’s a far sight better than a programming language designed around a document markup system, though. 🤓

@tpcanoe @CndHistAssoc @huronatwestern Best book in the history of Atlantic Canada? That’s quite an accomplishment!

(Congratulations! 🥳)

Hey @oclcdevnet @OCLC! Why did you discontinue the "Just Links" API in VIAF with no warning?

Lots of stuff broken. Thanks. :-/

@azaroth42 @ewg118 But if you’re relying on redirects, surely you’re just minting persistent URLs, and not persistent IDs, no?

@e_stanf One last quote, but it's my fave, on a review of two early music recognition dissertations: "a machine that ‘reads’ multiple parallel staffs bearing ... printed music in at least one ‘fount’ and size [is] no further than another couple of MIT dissertations away." (Kassler 1972)

@EthanWatrall There's also the Mapping Manuscript Migrations project, which looked at MSS provenance information across three DBs: https://t.co/2emhpgT8mp

[Andrew Hankinson @ahankinson]

@EthanWatrall The Schoenberg Database at UPenn is a provenance database of MSS provenance: https://t.co/dbW42w3nWo

The Bodleian has some TEI provenance information in its Medieval MSS, e.g., https://t.co/1phs6oeyuv

@tsonj @UniofOxford @summerfieldlab @SaxeLab Wow! Fantastic! Big congrats. Happy to help navigate the ins and outs of Oxford (both the town and the Uni) where I can!

@azaroth42 @christelmolinie Maybe this page helps? https://t.co/4JKQUqtwwT

@azaroth42 When I log in I seem to get a bunch of controls, one of which is “add statement” in the vocabulary section. I can also edit existing statements.

[Andrew Hankinson @ahankinson]

@BDLSS Huzzah and Hoorah! Congratulations all!

@e_stanf For DB2, building our own solution wasn’t the first option. It was only after looking at the available alternatives, and the available skills on our team, that we made the call to go another way. We both know projects who made a diff call and I still think ours was the right one.

[Andrew Hankinson @ahankinson]

@e_stanf Does it use Blacklight/Samvera? —> Yes —> Build sth different.

Choosing a pre-built tool isn‘t the solution to obsolescence, since for any moderately complex org the effort remove and add the things that don’t work for you ~= the effort to build something from scratch.
