Published: PREMIS Events Through an Event-sourced Lens


by @beet_keeper

Not long after my first Code4Lib article I had another idea to run by the team there, and elected to see if my paper looking at events in the PREMIS metadata standard would be of interest to them and the readership.

My paper PREMIS Events Through an Event-sourced Lens was published April this year.

I take a look at the content of this paper below and plug a few gaps that I have been thinking about since its publication.

Published: Fractal in detail: What information is in a file format identification report?


by @beet_keeper

In early 2022, I was finally able to get around to writing a paper that I had been thinking about for the better part of a decade. The paper, “Fractal in Detail: What Information Is in a File Format Identification Report?” was published via Code4Lib and examines the information that can be extracted from a file format identification report, e.g., reports such as those output from digital preservation tools like Siegfried and DROID.

I provide a brief summary of the paper and its contents below.

Static Web Methodology as a Sustainable Approach to Digital Humanities Projects

The web platforms adopted for digital humanities (DH) projects come with significant short- and long-term costs—selecting a platform will impact how resources are invested in a project and organization. As DH practitioners, the time (or money paid to contractors) we must invest in managing servers, maintaining platform updates, and learning idiosyncratic administrative systems ultimately limits [...]

PSA for #code4lib: it's time for basic server maintenance, so you may notice a few interruptions.
@hvdsomp Some are installing (Cloudflare) Turnstile(s) to redirect bots to. There was a presentation at #code4lib a few weeks ago about it, after this blog post: https://bibwild.wordpress.com/2025/01/16/using-cloudflare-turnstile-to-protect-certain-pages-on-a-rails-app/ .

Bibliographic Wilderness

Darf ich vorstellen: https://codeberg.org/weirdfox/mfs

Ein Tool, mit dem man Metadaten herunterladen kann. Gerade nur Publikationen über DOI von Crossref / DataCite / OpenAlex, wird aber in alle möglichen Richtungen erweitert. Nutze es um Rust zu lernen, ist aber ernst gemeint :)

Momentan eine sehr Alpha-Version verfügbar, von jeglicher produktiven Nutzung ist stark abzuraten.

Ich freue mich über Tipps, Ideen, Kritik!

Über neue Releases wird hier ebenfalls berichtet.

Loved the "Scaffolding Possibility: Systems, Stress, and Small Acts of Care" post by @platypus

"we are the people building small parts of the environment in which those around us live every day. If we’re not building systems, can we build scaffolds to get people to the things they need to live and thrive? Whether it’s just in a place designers didn’t expect them to go or somewhere they were actively shut out of?"

Scaffolding Possibility: Systems, Stress, and Small Acts of Care | Ruth Kitchin Tillman

What kinds of interventions can library tech workers or those with above-average technical aptitude make to improve their coworker's morale after a migration? I share some of the results of survey and interview research on morale and migration and the importance of small acts that keep possibility alive.
