Muddiest Point from November 10 class

The presentation this past Thursday clearly identified the advantages to offering digital library and/or institutional repository services to users, especially in this digital age. I was just wondering if there are some examples of digital infrastructure within these technologies that has been developed in order to track the use of these digital services. Thanks!

How does XSL relate to XML? Is XSL used to compose CSS documents for XML files? I'm just not sure how they relate to one another.
Thanks!

Reading notes for November 10 class

• There is a huge difference between providing access to sets of digital collections and providing digital library services
• The first significant federal investment in digital library research came in 1994 with the Digital Libraries Initiative- this was mean to develop and implement computing and networking technologies that could make large-scale electronic test collections accessible and interoperable.
• These initial initiatives served to identify and define important document and data metadata standards, protocols for Web-based access, and the issues surrounding federated and broadcast search protocols.
• These projects are also known for their examination of issues surrounding federation
• XML is based on SGML
• XML catalogs defines a format for instructions on how an xml processor resolves XML entity identifiers into actual documents
• Namespace provides a mechanism for universal naming of elements and attributes in XML documents
• There is a competition of sorts between the W3C XML schema and other XML markup languages such as RELAX NG

I really enjoyed using Zotero and I think that I will definitely use it in the future!

Muddiest Point from 10-27 class

I'm not sure that I completely understand the concept of multiple CSS. Although an example was given in class, under what circumstances would a multiple CSS be desirable? Thanks!

XML-subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)designed to make it easy to interchange structured documents over the Internet. XML allows users to bring multiple files together to form compound documents, identify where images are to be incorporated into text files, provide processing control information to supporting programs, and add editorial comments to a file. XML was not designed to be a standardized way of coding text. It is rather a formal language that can be used to pass information about the compound parts of a document to another computer system. XML is based on concept of documents composed of a series of entities. Each element has certain attributes. To use a set of markup tags that has been defined by a trade association or similar body. Because XML tag sets are based on the logical structure of the document they are somewhat easier to understand. AN XML file normally consists of three types of markup, the first two of which are optional: XML processing instruction, document type declaration, and document instance. By putting data in xml format, you can ensure that your data will be transferable to a wide range of hardware and software environments.
