[Metadatalibrarians] Crosswalks and tools for metadata

[Ray Matthews]

I just created an internal wiki yesterday for our system documentation using Google Sites.  The GUI editor is much easier to use and more responsive than that of other web-based wikis that we've used in the past.  While it is integrated with many Google applications such as Docs and Gadgets, it doesn't yet have a widget for subversion browsing. I suspect that it, too, will be coming.  In the meantime you may be able to get by with attaching code to wiki page versioning.

Here's an interesting blog entry from someone who is using Trac/Subversion and is considering Google Sites:

Hi Clay,

I think Trac or something similar would work well.

Best,

Tim

Hi Tim,

A shared source of tools was actually an initial reason I started the  
listserv.  One of the first discussions was about using XSLTs as a  
functional map of sorts, i.e. a crosswalk.  I think the only reason I  
never started it was that we might eventually need best practices,  
such as selecting one flavor of XSLT over another, like XSLT 2.0  
instead of 1.0.  Also, whether or not to include things like XQuery,  
or other scripting languages like Perl, Python, Ruby and the like.

At any rate, now that the iron is hot, I'll throw caution to the  
wind.  I'm willing to setup some sort of space as an extension of the  
main listserv web site.  As Teressa mentioned, this could range  
anywhere from a blog to a Wiki and Subversion.  Would Trac [1], which  
is a Wiki that can allow for viewing a Subversion repository do the  
job for this task?
