  • MarcEdit Update – Christmas Edition

    Happy Christmas! It is my sincere wish that everyone reading this is/has had a wonderful time with family and good friends over the holiday season. This year marks the second year that I’ve been away from my family — my parents, my brothers, my in-laws — all still in Oregon. It’s the hardest time to…

  • Working with SPARQL in MarcEdit

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on expanding the linking services that MarcEdit can work with in order to create identifiers for controlled terms and headings.  One of the services that I’ve been experimenting with is NLM’s beta SPARQL endpoint for MESH headings.  MESH has always been something that is a bit…

  • MarcEdit Automatic Field Translation Plug-in

    While experimenting with doing automatic language translation using the Microsoft Translation API, I got a couple of questions from users asking if this same process could be applied to doing automatic field translation to create localized searching indexes of subject terms.  The specific use case proposed was the generation of a single 653 that included…

  • MarcEdit LibHub Plug-in

    As libraries begin to join and participate in systems to test Bibframe principles, my hope is that when possible, I can provide support through MarcEdit to provide these communities a conduit to simplify the publishing of information into those systems.  The first of these test systems is the Libhub Initiative, and working with Eric Miller and…

  • MarcEdit 6 Update (10/6/2014)

    I sent this note to the MarcEdit listserv late last night, early this morning, but forgot to post here.  Over the weekend, the Ohio State University Libraries hosted our second annual hackaton on the campus.  It’s been a great event, and this year, I had one of the early morning shifts (12 am-5 am) so…

  • MarcEdit 6.0 Update

    This update is coming a little later than I’d hoped, but I’ve been busying myself with a couple of projects that have been consuming some of my off hours.  Today’s update deals with a handful of issues, as well as provides some new functionality.  Changes: Bug Fix: Edit Field Function: Field recursion switch (/r) was…

  • MarcEdit’s MARCNext: JSON Object Viewer

    As I noted in my last post (https://blog.reeset.net/archives/1359), I’ll be adding a new area to the MarcEdit application called MARCNext.  This will be used to expose a number of research tools for users interested in working with BibFrame data.  In addition to the BibFrame Testbed, I’ll also be releasing a JSON Object Viewer.  The JSON…

  • MarcEdit’s Research Toolkit – MARCNext

    While developing MarcEdit 6, one of the areas that I spent a significant amount of time working on was the MarcEdit Research Toolkit.  The Research Toolkit is an easter egg of sorts — it’s a set of tools and utilities that I’ve developed to support my own personal research interests around library metadata — specifically,…
