Remark: I wrote this post long time ago but never published it. Unfortunately BatchRefine is still on the old 2.x codebase of OpenRefine but some might still find it useful.  In this post I will show how you can use a headless OpenRefine instance called BatchRefine to process large amounts of CSV data without memory problems. A normal OpenRefine instance is in our experience not really suited for processing large files. If you ever tried to load several hundred thousand or even millions of lines...

One of the "defects" of RDF for data management is that it does not support business rules. That's a generality, so let me explain a bit.   ...

This paper explores the origins of the Dublin Core 1:1 Principle within DCMI documentation.  It finds that the need for the 1:1 Principle emerged from prior work within the cultural heritage community responsible for describing reproductions and surrogate resources within traditional cataloging environments. As the solutions to these problems encountered new ways to model semantic data, tensions arose within DCMI community. This paper aims to fill the gaps in our understanding of the 1:1 Principle by outlining the conceptual foundations that led to its inclusion in DCMI documentation, how the Principle has been (mis)understood in practice, how violations of the Principle have been operationalized, and how the fundamental issues raised by the Principle continue to challenge us today. This discussion situates the 1:1 Principle within larger discussions about cataloging practice and semantic knowledge representations.

We all know that writing and publishing is of great concern to those whose work is in academia; the "publish or perish" burden haunts pre-te...
