Free DevCSI Event: Apache SOLR

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

A free one-day DevCSI/Sourcesense workshop which will provide a thorough introduction to SOLR will be held at the London Mathematical Society on Monday 15 August 2011. Further information and a booking form are available on the UKOLN Web site.

This workshop is an introductory tutorial on Apache Solr, an open source enterprise search engine with a restful Web interface. The event will be run by Sourcesense.

The tutorial will start by looking at basic searches, and go on to consider some more sophisticated queries such as highlighting, spellchecking, faceting, etc. The focus will then move to indexing and how to make use of the sample data within SOLR. It will also examine a small Java application to index sample content from Wikipedia.

Further details are available on the UKOLN Web site.

DevCSI will be organising a free Repository Hackathon/Challenge at Repository Fringe this year between Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 August 2011, in Edinburgh.

Problems Accessing W3C LLD Blog

Monday, July 4th, 2011

The WordPress plugin Digress.it which offers paragraph-level commenting allows for discussions of documents which are republished using WordPress. This plugin is in use in a variety of blogs such as JISCPress.org, WriteToReply and UKOLN’s W3C linked library data incubator blog. However there is currently a bug with Digress.it which sometimes means the blog will not display. The developers of Digress.it are currently looking into resolving this problem. We will provide an update as soon as possible.
