Creating A Sustainable Workflow For Converting Online Finding Aids Into Marc Records, Ann Kardos
Creating A Sustainable Workflow For Converting Online Finding Aids Into Marc Records, Ann Kardos
University Libraries Presentations Series
Data regarding library collections exists in many locations. While this often works for those researchers who know what they're looking for, one institution created a plan to convert online finding aids into MARC records for the discovery layer. The project makes additional avenues to discover unique collections but also gives opportunities to create Library of Congress name authority records for distinct entities or hidden individuals and groups. This project became a model for standardization of this work across the consortium, and brought together stakeholders from metadata, special collections, archives, digital collections and library IT.

Autoplug: An Automated Metadata Service For Smart Outlets, Lurdh Pradeep Reddy Ambati
Autoplug: An Automated Metadata Service For Smart Outlets, Lurdh Pradeep Reddy Ambati
Masters Theses
Low-cost network-connected smart outlets are now available for monitoring, controlling, and scheduling the energy usage of electrical devices. As a result, such smart outlets are being integrated into automated home management systems, which remotely control them by analyzing and interpreting their data. However, to effectively interpret data and control devices, the system must know the type of device that is plugged into each smart outlet. Existing systems require users to manually input and maintain the outlet metadata that associates a device type with a smart outlet. Such manual operation is time-consuming and error-prone: users must initially inventory all outlet-to-device mappings, …
Collaborative Cartography: Creating An Asset Map For Student And Community Success, Dragan Gill, Laura Coelho, Amethys Nieves
Collaborative Cartography: Creating An Asset Map For Student And Community Success, Dragan Gill, Laura Coelho, Amethys Nieves
ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference
In this workshop participants will learn key steps in creating campus and community asset maps to help discover areas of strength in communities, including resources and various supports. The workshop will address the following: (1) defining the purpose and audience of the map; (2) creating a shared controlled vocabulary across departments and/or disciplines; (3) choosing the appropriate mapping software; and (4) the process of sharing data with the wider world. Learn from our experience in bringing campus and community projects together with the library to create maps that serve multiple purposes, including interactive databases of campus resources and supports, and …
The Emergence Of The Metadata Cataloger: Are Cataloging And Metadata Two Separate Fields?, Rachel Turner
The Emergence Of The Metadata Cataloger: Are Cataloging And Metadata Two Separate Fields?, Rachel Turner
ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference
As a new Librarian straight out of my MSIS program, I am seeing a shift in the idea of what constitutes the position of “Cataloging Librarian.” As a student worker at UT Austin while in library school, and in my current position as Cataloging Librarian at Binghamton University, I have seen in both places a rising discussion of how cataloging should evolve to keep up with the reframing and rebranding that is taking place throughout all aspects of libraries and librarianship. A common answer that seems to be rising is that cataloging is and needs to continue its reframing to …

Computer Science Department Faculty Publication Series
A wide variety of data sets produced by individual investigators are now synthesized to address ecological questions that span a range of spatial and temporal scales. It is important to facilitate such syntheses so that ‘‘consumers’’ of data sets can be confident that both input data sets and synthetic products are reliable. Necessary documentation to ensure the reliability and validation of data sets includes both familiar descriptive metadata and formal documentation of the scientific processes used (i.e., process metadata) to produce usable data sets from collections of raw data. Such documentation is complex and difficult to construct, so it is …
Table Extraction Using Conditional Random Fields, David Pinto, Andrew Mccallum, Xing Wei, W. Bruce Croft
Table Extraction Using Conditional Random Fields, David Pinto, Andrew Mccallum, Xing Wei, W. Bruce Croft
Andrew McCallum
The ability to find tables and extract information from them is a necessary component of data mining, question answering, and other information retrieval tasks. Documents often contain tables in order to communicate densely packed, multi-dimensional information. Tables do this by employing layout patterns to efficiently indicate fields and records in two-dimensional form. Their rich combination of formatting and content present difficulties for traditional language modeling techniques, however. This paper presents the use of conditional random fields (CRFs) for table extraction, and compares them with hidden Markov models (HMMs). Unlike HMMs, CRFs support the use of many rich and overlapping layout …
