One of the beautiful things I see when I fly are sunsets. Today was no exception. The camera never seems to do the beauty justice.

New mouse buttons
12 months after getting new mouse buttons for my laptop I finally installed them. So much relief going on here.
Moving Apple notes
When I airdrop a note it moves it to iCloud and then changes the date on the recipient’s note to the date the message was received rather than created.
Academic Heritage in MARC records
I have long wondered how I might encode information contained in the https://academictree.org in MARC Authority Records. Obviously via MARC relator roles the information might be encoded within the bibliographic record. However, looking at the MARC 510 field on the linked record https://lccn.loc.gov/no2004069960, it seems that the MARC 500 field on authority Records might be used with several of the sub-fields.
Converting DC Subjects to Schema.org
DC has the ability to specify subjects such as UDC, LCSH or DDC. How would these be converted to schema.org?
{
"@context": "https://schema.org/",
"@type": "Book",
"name": "British Isles - A History",
"about": {
"@type": "DefinedTerm",
"@id": "https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ddc/E48m7BJXdrm3XY4Xv86d88WGt3",
"name": "British Isles",
"termCode": "941",
"inDefinedTermSet": "https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ddc/"
}

Language Documentation Gear
I have been investigating some new video equipment for language documentation. Currently highly recommended is the Osmo Pocket 3 and the GoPro Hero 11 (as this has GPS embedded whereas the GP12 does not). It is not entirely clear if the GP13 has GPS or not.
Also my microphones need some attention. I need some endcaps and some windscreens.
I have been thinking about using updating my capabilities for recording and regularly recording Katja Playing Music.
Serials, MARC Records and RDA Core
So I have several questions:
- What does a high (over the top) MARC Record look like both for the ISSN(s) and the article?
- What is the overlap between RDA Core and Dublin Core?
- What user tasks are left out between RDA full and RDA Core?
Some resources:

Font Modulator
This is really cool! Now, just to extend it to fonts that the rest of the world use outside of Europe.

OLAC CMS options via XML
One plan for pushing language resources to the web en-mass before a full django application is available is to use Hugo and its XML input process to parse OALC/OAI-PMH files (generated with an OAI-PMH bash script) and then convert bibtex entries to xml (using Jabref or commandline) or JSON. The content issue to overcome is that pages in Hugo have to have front matter. The XML and JSON are both content and front matter (or visible front matter). I think I need to generate an .md file for each entry meaning XML data is not really that useful. But there may be hope
OLAC Collection Description and Linked Data Terms
The DCTerms provides some fields for use in the description of Collections. While it may be possible to use terms from specific vocabularies in the CLD (see a list of works) or see the whole application profile here. However, It is interesting to note that RDA has some of these terms too and even though purls were minted for CLD that linked data URIs exist for these concepts as well.
