The Road from Millennium to Alma: Two Tracks, One DestinationNASIG
In 2016, two academic libraries migrated from Innovative Interface’s Millennium to Ex Libris’ Alma. Though both libraries came from a similar starting point in terms of library software, their migration environments were quite different: Colorado State University’s migration involved two campuses, CSU Fort Collins and CSU Pueblo, while Central Connecticut State University migrated with a newly-formed consortium comprised of 18 institutions. Even though both libraries share the same proprietary ILS, the environmental differences between the two libraries shape their experiences throughout the migration process. The presenters will share their libraries’ unique experiences while also addressing commonalities germane to the ILS migration process such as pre-migration data clean up, data migration, training, and designing workflows. Particular attention will be paid to the data migration process that details the extraction process along with coordinating these efforts. Because Alma is designed on a different concept than III’s Millennium, the redesign of workflows is critical prior to the final cutover to the new system. In light of this, the presenters will address the engagement of staff during these discussions along with their professional growth. In addition to explaining the technical aspects of this migration, they will also delve beneath the surface of the intellectual labor required for implementation and examine the psychological impact on all constituents who will use the new system for their daily work.

Metadata and Content Aggregation for UKOERPhil Barker
Basis of webinar for HE Academy/JISC OER programme. Aims:
Make sure the projects know about CETIS and our role in the UKOER programme.
Make sure the projects are familiar with the programme level technical & metadata requirements.
Get projects to think about their own metadata and technical requirements.
Discuss the relationship of the third of these to the first two.

A semantic based approach for information retrieval from html documents using...csandit
Most of the internet applications are built using web technologies like HTML. Web pages are
designed in such a way that it displays the data records from the underlying databases or just
displays the text in an unstructured format but using some fixed template. Summarizing these
data which are dispersed in different web pages is hectic and tedious and consumes most of the
time and manual effort. A supervised learning technique called Wrapper Induction technique
can be used across the web pages to learn data extraction rules. By applying these learnt rules
to web pages, enables the information extraction an easier process. This paper focuses on
developing a tool for information extraction from the unstructured data. The use of semantic
web technologies much simplifies the process. This tool enables us to query the data being
scattered over multiple web pages, in distinguished ways. This can be accomplished by the
following steps – extracting the data from multiple web pages, storing them in the form of RDF
triples, integrating multiple RDF files using ontology, generating SPARQL query based on user
query and generating report in the form of tables or charts from the results of SPARQL query.
The relationship between various related web pages are identified using ontology and used to
query in better ways thus enhancing the searching efficacy.
