A well-dressed stranger examines used cars for sale on a fly-by-night used car lot. The salesman, "Big Bargain" Sweeney, brags about the quality of the cars and their bargain prices. Sweeney tries to sell the stranger a car, claiming it was owned by a man involved in bootlegging who needed to sell it for a "dead steal." The stranger realizes the car was actually stolen from him six months ago. He confronts Sweeney, but decides not to involve the authorities since no harm was done. The stranger drives off with his recovered car, wondering who its original owner was.

Digital Library Expert Seminar at Edinburgh University Library, June 2009

Gill Hamilton

Presentation outlined NLS use of class web2.0 services have been used including YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and Yammer. And how the Library might exploit "crowdsourcing" to assist in projects such as OCR checking and digitisation. Explored issues surrounding metadata and the importance of using standardised terminologies that will be adaptable to for semantic web preparation. Asked question if digitisation of unique materials might be a priority.

Europeana IIIF Task Force

Gill Hamilton

The document discusses the Europeana IIIF Task Force. It notes that Europeana has adopted IIIF but many of its content providers are unaware or unsure of IIIF. It provides information about an initial survey of 69 responses from collections across Europe on their IIIF implementation and awareness. The task force aims to identify trends in IIIF adoption among Europeana content providers and encourage more involvement from partners.

Gill Hamilton

The document is a presentation by Gill Hamilton from the National Library of Scotland about linked open data and their experiments with it. It discusses three main tips for preparing data for linked open data: 1) using URIs to identify resources rather than strings, 2) not simplifying data structures when converting to linked data, and 3) focusing on making unique contributions by working with distinctive parts of the collection. The presentation also advocates for openly licensing metadata and using open vocabularies.

Deus Ex Machina: is linked data the answer?

Gill Hamilton

Presentation given by Gill Hamilton, National Library of Scotland at the OCLC seminar "Is there are library shaped black hole in the web?" on 16 October 2015 at Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. Gill's presentation explains the experiments undertake at the Library into linked open data. She suggests several practical tips to help libraries prepare for linked open data including; recording URIs, not dumbing down your metadata, concentrating on your unique collections, openly licensing your metadata, using open vocabularies and demanding better systems to manage linked data components and requirements.

Making mapping real: experience and thoughts from National Library of Scotland

Gill Hamilton

The document discusses challenges in mapping local data instances to a global graph. It describes extracting triples from a local database and assigning URIs using templates. Mappings from local to global identifiers are stored separately and can be added over time. String and statistical matching are used to match local instances to global concepts, with the goal of unique matches but humans sometimes needed for resolution.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.
