Protovis

by parmentierf & 2 others (via)
Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction. Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you will need a modern web browser)! Although programming experience is helpful, Protovis is mostly declarative and designed to be learned by example.

OpenURL : Helping you buy: link resolver tools.(Your guide to vendor product facts) | Article from Computers in Libraries | HighBeam Research

by decembre
To any library with an electronic collection of any significance, the Open URL link resolver has (or should) become an indispensable service for helping its users retrieve full text from citations. Although they are a relatively new technology (in library terms, at any rate), link resolvers arguably have become as important as the OPAC; they locate articles from A & I databases, strengthen the role of interlibrary loan, and enable metasearch. Since they are the glue that binds many disparate services together, link resolvers are quite difficult to shop for. To define what a good link resolver should be or should do is not unlike nailing JELL-O to the wall. There is an

RMagick Download Page

by ycc2106 & 2 others
RMagick is an interface between the Ruby programming language and the ImageMagick® and GraphicsMagick image processing libraries. RMagick can be more difficult to install than the typical Ruby extension. First you have to install ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick, and those libraries require a lot of other libraries. Nevertheless, the process can be made easier with a bit of planning. On this page I'll try to answer the most common questions about installing RMagick. Give it a quick scan before you start downloading files.

by karlcow & 1 other

OpenURL ContextObject in SPAN (COinS) Use with LibX (Firefox extension that provides direct access to your library's resources).

by decembre & 3 others
To embed citation metadata into html in such a way that processing agents can discover, process and make use of the metadata. Since an important use of this metadata will be to allow processing agents to make OpenURL hyperlinks for users in libraries (latent OpenURL), the method must allow the metadata to be placed any where in HTML that a link might appear. In the absence of some metadata-aware agent, the embedded metadata must be invisible to the user and innocuous with respect to HTML markup. To meet these requirements, the span element was selected. The NISO OpenURL ContextObject is selected as the specific metadata package. The resulting specification is named "ContextObject in SPAN" or COinS for short. ..... A COinS Generator site is available - See : COinS Processors Alf Eaton's Greasemonkey script for processing COinSVirginia Tech's

swissmiss | Heroine

by fabifab
Heroine is inspired by the typeface Windsor, designed by Eleisha Pechey in 1905. Windsor is the typeface used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies. A modern interpretation of this rusty pearl is something that always have been missing in the major type libraries. But Heroine is not only an interpretation, it goes beyond that. With the addition of swashes and alternate letters in several styles it becomes very addicitve.
