Teaching Tools, Applications, and Infrastructure for Digital Curation Through the Use of a Virtual Lab
Date: February 2013
Creator: Helsing, Joseph; Lewis, Paulette & Warga, Edward
Description: This document accompanies a poster on teaching tools, applications, and infrastructure for digital curation through the use of a virtual lab. Abstract: With an increased demand for digital curation, data management, archiving, and preservation the library and information science community has begun offering new education and training in these fields. A trend in this education is the use of online virtual labs to offer students hands-on experience with the tools and methodologies inherent to these fields. At the University of North Texas, the authors are also developing a four course education program in digital curation and data management including a course called 'Tools, Applications, and Infrastructure for Digital Curation' that employs a virtual lab component. This paper discusses the first offering of the course; several challenges the authors faced; and the new strategies developed to address these issues and improve the course and virtual lab for the next offering.

Digital Information Curation for 21st Century Science and Scholarship: Experience-Based Learning for Information Professionals and Disciplinary Researchers
Date: 2011
Creator: Moen, William E.; Kim, Jeonghyun & Halbert, Martin
Description: This is the narrative for a proposal to the Institute of Museum and Library Services' (IMLS) Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The proposed initiative's goal is to build capacity in the University of North Texas' (UNT) Library and Information Sciences (LIS) curriculum to increase the number of appropriately trained information professionals and disciplinary researchers and scholars for digital curation and data management responsibilities.

An Event Model for Herbarium Specimen Data in XML Poster Abstract
Date: 2010
Creator: Moen, William E.; Neill, Amanda K.; Best, Jason H.; McCotter, Melody; Xu, Hong & Huang, Jane Q.
Description: This abstract describes a poster about the Apiary Project. The Apiary Project, a collaboration of the Texas Center for Digital Knowledge at the University of North Texas and the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, is building a framework and web-based workflow for the extraction and parsing of herbarium specimen data. The workflow will support the transformation of written or printed specimen data into a high-quality machine-processable XML format. This poster describes an event model that informed the development of the Apiary XML Application Schema

The Potential for Web Services to Enhance Information Access to Legacy Data: An Exploratory Study and Application
Date: February 16, 2005
Creator: Oguz, Fatih & Moen, William E.
Description: This paper presents an overview of an exploratory research project to identify, describe, and investigate the applicability of the Web services (WS) approach to access legacy data. In the Z Texas Implementation Component of the Library of Texas (ZLOT) project, the ZLOT technical team has implemented a multi-purpose Texas Library Directory Database (TLDD) that is used as a back-end database to support the Library of Texas (LOT) Resource Discovery Service (RDS). The researchers developed and implemented a prototype WS application to show how a legacy system can be accessed and its data can be searched and retrieved. This study focused on understanding how requests and responses between software applications are encoded in Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Radioactive MARC Records Specifications
Date: January 1, 2005
Creator: Moen, William E.
Description: This document provides the preliminary specifications for the different RadMARC records to be created for use in the Z-Interop2 interoperability testbed. Experience with these records may result in revisions to the specifications.

Creating Radioactive MARC Records and Z Queries Using the MARCdocs Database
Date: December 2, 2004
Creator: Moen, William E.
Description: This document describes how the authors can extend a relational database of MARC documentation to store the appropriate information that will support the automatic generation of the special, diagnostic MARC records the authors will call radioactive MARC (RadMARC) records. The information contained in the database will also support the generation of the Z queries used in the interoperability testing.

MARCdocs: The MARC 21 Bibliographic Format Database
Date: October 28, 2004
Creator: Moen, William E. & Thomale, Jason
Description: This document discusses MARCdocs. MARCdocs, the MARC 21 Documentation Database, is a pilot effort aimed at structuring the textual documentation from the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data into a relational database. Using a database approach for the authoritative MARC documentation provides new opportunities for various applications, including more efficient maintenance of the documentation, easier and quicker updates and changes, exporting selected data in XML, as well as an aid to research into the development and evolution of MARC, a learning/reference tool for those seeking to understand the MARC format, and a tool to help those devising new bibliographic structures. The database was first envisioned by Dr. William Moen of the University of North Texas School of Library and Information Sciences as a tool for his ongoing research into metadata utilization and interoperability. Dr. Shawne Miksa, Penelope Bernardino, JungWon Yoon, and Jason Thomale have carried this idea forward to implementation. This application uses open source software tools including Linux, MySQL, and PhP. Jason Thomale, a masters student in the School of Library and Information Sciences, designed and implemented the database, developed procedures for data loading, and designed and programmed the web interface for the MySQL database.

Z39.50 Interoperability Testing Framework for Online Library Catalogs Using Radioactive MARC Records
Date: June 20, 2004
Creator: Moen, William E.
Description: This document discusses a Z39.50 Interoperability Testing framework. In a first phase of the Z39.50 Interoperability Testbed, a large dataset of MARC records was used. In this work, the authors are exploring how a set of special, diagnostic MARC records can be developed and used to identify interoperability problems between a Z39.50 client and a Z39.50 server providing access to a database of bibliographic records supporting the search and retrieval functions of an online library catalog. The authors refer to these special, diagnostic records as radioactive MARC records. It discusses the various components and identifies the tasks related to developing and implementing the components.
