  1. Hey #library folks 👋 ,

    do you want to cluster your book editions with the well-known Work-set algorithm from #OCLC, but you don't find a suitable reusable tool?

    I recently faced this issue while working on the #BELTRANS project at KBR (Royal Library of Belgium). All I found were many research papers describing the clustering and a few implementations that required me to install 2010-style Java software stacks.

    So I decided to write an easily reusable small #Python script that follows the ideas of the Work-set algorithm: clustering based on descriptive keys. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Check my blog post for more information and have a look at the script.

  2. Last week I have been to the 1st Conference on Research Data Infrastructure #CoRDI2023 organized by @NFDI

    My main takeaways

    👨‍💻 It’s mostly about human problems that need to be fixed (connecting communities, data governance, etc)

    🖥 Knowledge Graphs and especially #Wikibase gain attention in the context of research (data) infrastructures

    👩‍⚕️ There is an increasing need for sustainably funded data management careers

  3. Great initiative about research data management #RDM in Germany presented at #CoRDI2023. Reminds me of the #UGent #datastewards, but of course much larger: instead of one data steward per faculty, one steward (organisation) for each federal state (yes that's partial Germany on the map , more German states will join)

  4. Curious how the free publishing service #CEUR-WS is making its data #FAIR? Or how the #Wikimedia foundation is planning to democratize functions?
