Last week:

   - wrote a oai2rdf RDFizer to harvest a OAI-PMH compliant repository
and RDFize the results.

   - RDFized all dspace.mit.edu content (~19K records)

   - wrote an marcmods2rdf RDFizer to convert MARC (in Z39/2 format) to
MARC/XML or to MODS/XML (using the official LOC XSLT transformation) or
to MODS/RDF

   - tested on the 1.2 million MARC records that the MIT library has

   - wrote an XSLT stylesheet to convert MODS/XML into MODS/RDF/XML
(should be done today)

   - wrote an ontology for MODS in N3 (should be done today with the
stylesheet)

   - finished the first phase (indexing) of Gadget 2.0, which now uses
BerkeleyDB for storing the results instead of keeping them in memory.
Trial test results in amazing performance.

   - started working on phase 2 of Gadget 2.0 (presentation) which is
going to be a web application to present/explore the results of the
indexing phase.

   - started moving stuff over to use Maven2 as the framework of choice,
especially now that there is a nice eclipse plugin.

This week:

   - finish the mardmods2rdf work

   - convert all the library MARC records into RDF

   - write the ocw2rdf RDFizer to convert MIT OpenCourseWare's metadata
from IEEE LOM to RDF

   - continue to work on Gadget 2.0 web interface
