  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.
