Reading Notes Week 11
David Hawking , Web Search Engines
Shreeves, S. L., Habing, T. O., Hagedorn, K., & Young, J. A.
Michael K. Bergman, The Deep Web: Surfacing Hidden Value
My internship over the summer at a government agency was my first exposure to OAI – Metadata Harvesting. Although I used the harvester I didn’t truly understand what was technically occurring. Because of these readings it finally made sense, I now think of OAI for what it is; a protocol that submits request to a repository.

Week 10 - Reading Notes
Mischo, W. (July/August 2005). Digital Libraries: challenges and influential work.
This article made me wonder if library science students are prepared to handle the back end of current and emerging technologies, compared to “information technology” or a “telecommunications” students. Althrough I can use the interace, I’m not sure if I could troubleshoot a “bug” in the system. I guess that is what IT departments are for.
Paepcke, A. et al. (July/August 2005). Dewey meets Turing: librarians, computer scientists and the digital libraries initiative.
Lynch, Clifford A. "Institutional Repositories: Essential Infrastructure for Scholarship in the Digital Age"
As libraries and technology continue to transform I wonder what new possibilities they hold for the actual concept of a book. Will future generations known what the physical container of a book looks like or will it fade away similar to the card catalog. It is not necessarily a bad thing, just interesting.

Week 9 - Reading Notes
Uche Ogbuji. A survey of XML standards: Part 1. January 2004.
Martin Bryan. Introducing the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Although XML name space creates a slight complication to XML schema it is very important because it promotes interoperability between different standards (such as Dublin Core, MODS, VRA). The name space lets content creators understand the definitions of elements and attributes from different sets.
Extending your Markup: a XML tutorial by Andre Bergholz
I thought this article was a little confusing because it did not have many examples; but reinforcement is important so the more I read the better my understanding will be.
XML Schema Tutorial
The W3 school tutorial does a better job of explaining XML. I appreciate the layout, examples, and practice.
