Supporting Multiple Metadata Standards - DRI Poster at IDCC2015dri_ireland
The Digital Repository of Ireland supports multiple metadata standards to encourage the ingest of diverse collections. This presents challenges such as producing consistent guidelines across standards and creating a unified data model. A mapping between chosen standards was developed, identifying mandatory and recommended fields. Guidelines for these fields aim to make collections more discoverable. The DRI data model is based on these fields and supports both hierarchical and flat standards through one-to-one and one-to-many mappings. The goal is to support multiple communities of practice and aid discoverability within the repository.

Rebecca Grant - Archiving and Digital Preservation (Figshare Fest)dri_ireland
Presentation given by Rebecca Grant, Digital Archivist with Digital Repository of Ireland, part of a workshop on Digital Archiving and Digital Preservation held as part of Figshare Fest in London, May 12th 2016. Figshare is an online digital repository where researchers can preserve and share their research outputs, including figures, datasets, images, and videos. Its annual Figshare Fest is a chance to gather together institutional clients, advocates and friends to talk about open research.
The document discusses the use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) in digital libraries to help with long-term preservation and unifying objects with their metadata. It notes that the library uses PIDs for born-digital items, digitized projects, and e-theses from across the university. While PIDs help avoid reinventing processes and ensure files don't change, the library needed PIDs that were opaque but not too opaque and long but not too long. Key points discussed include when and what gets a PID assigned, as well as different types of PID resolvers like ARK, DOI, and handles. In conclusion, the document notes that implementing PIDs is more complicated than initially thought but persistence is the most important aspect
The document discusses the impacts and issues related to digital libraries. It defines digital libraries as comprising digital collections, services, and infrastructure to support learning, research, and knowledge preservation. Some key impacts discussed include increased access and dissemination of information globally through digital archives. However, tensions remain regarding copyright and the roles of publishers, libraries, and authors. The document also outlines factors driving the transition to digital libraries, advantages such as increased access and preservation, and disadvantages including copyright issues, speed of access, and ensuring long-term preservation of digital materials.
The document discusses the need for organizations to create digital preservation policies and procedures to protect their digital collections. It notes that most institutions currently collect born-digital materials without plans for their long-term preservation. The document defines digital preservation as the active management of digital records to preserve accurate access over time through policies, metadata, and file maintenance. It recommends that institutions draft a high-level digital preservation policy that commits to preservation, defines its scope and stakeholders, and outlines goals, challenges, and staff roles. Examples of existing policies are provided.
The document discusses digital libraries, which are collections of digital documents that can be accessed online or through CD-ROMs. A digital library extends the capabilities of traditional libraries by allowing for dynamic and linked resources, richer metadata, and distributed access. Digital libraries provide access to large amounts of multimedia information from anywhere at any time through user-friendly interfaces and advanced search capabilities. They aim to efficiently deliver information to users while strengthening collaboration between institutions.
This document summarizes an ethnographic study conducted by Northwestern University researchers to understand how humanities scholars use audio and video collections in their research. The researchers observed scholars in context, had them keep diaries of their work, and interviewed them. They found that scholars use many different tools for accessing, analyzing, and annotating media and struggle with issues like locating files and a lack of training. The researchers plan to recruit more participants and use the findings to improve the Avalon media repository software.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help regulate emotions and stress levels.
Bricks are rectangular clay blocks made through a process of molding, drying, and burning. They are commonly used in buildings for walls, paving, and alleys. Historically, bricks became widespread in the medieval period as an alternative to flammable wood. Modern brick production reaches over 1 trillion bricks annually in India, with the majority used for housing. Proper bricks contain specific mineral compositions and pass various tests for strength, absorption, and shape/size. They are classified based on quality and can be manufactured through various kilning processes for different construction applications.
This document summarizes the career of a brick or block mason. It describes the work environment as mostly outside and involving heavy lifting, standing, kneeling, or bending for long periods. Masons work with bricks, stone, and mortar to fix older structures or construct new ones like fireplaces, walkways, and homes. Most masons start as apprentices to learn from experienced masons while helping on jobs. Wages range from $13 to over $36 per hour depending on experience. Advancement opportunities include supervisor roles, management, inspection work, or owning a masonry business. Risks include potential injury and dust exposure without proper protective equipment.
Unscientific establishment of such industries may lead to severe environmental problems and the present study area is no exception to this rule. From the aforesaid analysis it is found that one should not meddle with nature and natural resources for the fulfillment of our mercenary needs. Before setting up industries of this type we should make extensive studies and conduct research with the help of experts to determine the viability of setting up of such an industry in a particular area. The Government and the concerned authority should take a serious note of this matter and promulgate rules and regulations for setting up such brick industries. We, the common people should also take necessary steps towards maintaining an awareness of potential hazards and risks that may result from carrying out activities like building brick kiln industries along the river banks so that we can prevent disasters from taking place in our midst.
Евгений Руднев: "Programmers Approach to Error Handling"Anna Shymchenko
This document discusses an industrial approach to programming that focuses on robustness, stability, and patterns over individual performance and invention. It recommends standardizing parts and processes, refactoring code constantly, prioritizing general solutions over optimal ones, and improving logging and testing to prevent bugs from surfacing. The goal is to efficiently develop large, complex, long-living projects in a changing environment by learning from other mature fields like construction, manufacturing, and warfare that emphasize order over numbers.
Bricks are artificial rectangular blocks made from clay that are dried and fired. They are used widely in construction due to properties like light weight, durability, and flexibility. The manufacturing process involves preparing clay material, shaping bricks, drying, and firing. Good bricks are uniform in color, shape, size and have high compressive strength and resistance to weathering. Various types of bricks exist for different applications like plinth bricks, hollow bricks, and fire bricks.

This document discusses the concept of participatory librarianship and engaging 21st century learning. It advocates that libraries invite spaces for conversation, knowledge construction, and inquiry-centered learning. Participatory librarianship values learning as an open dialogue over isolated information consumption. The document provides many examples of how libraries can create conversations through collaborative activities, social media, and community outreach to cultivate learning.
Bricks are classified in two ways, traditionally or according to the IS classification system. Traditionally there are four classes - first, second, third, and kiln rejected. First class bricks are well burnt with an even surface and ringing sound, water absorption under 20%, and compressive strength over 10.5 N/mm2. Second class bricks are slightly uneven with water absorption under 22% and strength over 7 N/mm2. Third class bricks are irregular with dull sound, absorption under 25%, and strength over 3.5 N/mm2. Kiln rejected bricks are unsuitable for construction and used as aggregate or powder. The IS classification has 11 classes based on minimum compressive strength from 3.5 to 35 N

It was created to address limitations of existing repository systems in supporting time-based media and existing media systems in integrating with repository functions. Funded by IMLS and Mellon Foundation grants, recent versions have focused on improved access controls, searching, and accessibility. Future development aims to offer Avalon as a hosted SaaS and grow an open source development community.
This document discusses considerations for migrating content from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4. It describes the key components of Fedora 3 including objects, datastreams, and relationships defined in RELS-EXT. It then examines options for mapping structural metadata like METS and relationships between objects. For descriptive metadata, it outlines three options: 1) using migration tools, 2) mapping to simple RDF statements, or 3) mapping complex metadata to an external triplestore. The document analyzes the tradeoffs of each approach and emphasizes planning based on current metadata and management needs.
Avalon is an open source media system developed by Indiana University and Northwestern University to provide access to audiovisual collections. It integrates with repository systems and supports streaming media while allowing for metadata, access controls, and structural navigation of time-based content. Recent versions have improved accessibility, added support for new file formats and metadata, and plan to further develop features like annotation, publishing to other sites, and analytics in upcoming releases.
The document discusses lessons learned in transforming metadata from XML formats to RDF. It describes how libraries and cultural heritage institutions are working to express existing metadata standards like MODS and PBCore in RDF to take advantage of capabilities like linked data. Challenges include mapping XML schemas to RDF ontologies and ensuring RDF can meet identified use cases. Examples are provided of institutions that have transformed metadata to RDF to share across systems or publish as linked open data.
The Avalon Media System provides an open source streaming media solution focused on delivery of library media collections, but it is finding other uses, including support for publication, teaching and learning content, and digital scholarship. As a result, new features enhance support for additional research and instructional use cases.

Julie Rudder presented "Avalon at Northwestern University" as part of the "Avalon Media System: Implementation and Community" session at the 2014 Digital Library Federation (DLF) Forum on October 28, 2014.
The document discusses the University of Virginia's plans to implement the Avalon digital asset management system to provide access to audiovisual materials. Key points include:
- Avalon will be rolled out in July 2014 to allow access by 39 colleges and universities. Content will steadily increase through Fall 2014.
- Implementation will require half an FTE AV conservator, a quarter FTE software engineer, and other technical resources over a 6 month period.
- The initial production setup will use a virtual machine for Avalon and related software like Fedora and Solr. Additional features are needed like time-based access restrictions and custom thumbnails.
- Ongoing involvement with the Avalon community is important to promptly
The document summarizes Stanford University Libraries' (SUL's) media preservation program and their plans to implement the Avalon digital repository system. The objectives of SUL's media preservation program are to maintain long-term access to at-risk materials, support collection development, promote use of media in teaching and research, and integrate with their digital library services and technology. SUL evaluated Avalon and found that it meets their basic functional, technical, and philosophical needs. They plan to hire a Media Infrastructure Engineer to lead the design, installation, and integration of Avalon over a two-year project starting in January 2015.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
