Eric edited with workshop description to be less generic
'''ActiveSierra''' - Sean Crowe and James Van Mil: while waiting for a useful API from III, we've modeled useful bits of the Sierra database for use in Rails apps and in vanilla ruby. We'd be able to present the SierraDNA and ActiveRecord/ActiveModel frameworks with some of the tools we're building (~1 hour?). If folks have access to their home III database systems, we could also host a workshop/hackfest around these tools.
'''Hands-on With Automagic Text mining: An introductionMining''' - This hands-on workshop will introduce provides a venue for participants to create their own "automagically" created text mining reports from the use of Python's Natural Language Toolkit ([http://www.nltk.org NLTK])HathiTrust, EEBO, and through this process participants JSTOR. Participants will learn create a set of content from the rudiments of text mining. While HathiTrust and "feed" it may sound trivial, the workshop to system which will count and tabulate words. How many words are in a given document? What are those wordsharvest, index, analyze, and how often do they occur? How significant are those words compared to a similar sent in a different document? Visualize the comparison. Identify where selected words appear in a document and visualize that. After identifying significant words in a text, use a simple keyword-in-context (concordance) application to understand who and report on the words are used in the textcontent. Using these simple techniques a person can "read" a large corpuse of materials quickly The process will then be repeated with content from EEBO and easilyJSTOR. Participants will be are expected to have their own computers laptops, complete with an SSH terminal application and SFTP client. Access to a remote Linux machine will be provided. Familiarity with the NLTK previously installedBash Shell is a plus but not necessary . --Eric Lease Morgan (University of Notre Dame)
'''PowerShell''' - Brittany Adams (Wheaton College): Code4LIb has many full-fledged coders, but there are others who are new to the library coding environment and may have limited access to common tools and operating systems often found in the coder's toolbox. As someone new to coding, Brittany Adams will show how PowerShell, which is part of the Windows OS, can be applied to various metadata projects. PowerShell can serve as the entry point for those unwilling or unable to dive in the deep-end of the Linux pool.
