• new york times annotated corpus
  • http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2008T19
  • http://groups.google.com/group/nytnlp
• clojure update
  • features
    • a la carte hierarchies
      • no need to hardwire into types
      • supports superimposition of hierarchies on top of ..
    • per multimethod hierarchies
      • allows dispatch on relationships etc of arguments
      • able to define sets of multimethods for hierarchies
    • is-a dispatched + conflict resolution
  • library system

Notes from Mercurial Google Tech Talk

• Youtube
• Python (with ~5% C), fast, and distributed
• Simple conceptual model:
  • Repository
    • Changelog
    • Manifest
    • File metadata
  • Working directory
  • Changeset
• Not heavyweight - no DB, just files
• 12K lines of python in ~2006
• Power/performance is in abstractions
  • Avoidance of disk seeks
  • Linear I/O streams
  • Don't read/write more than you have to
  • Union of deltas
  • Deltas end up being from immediate linear formats

Every year, the Description Section of the Society of American Archivists presents the Description Expo, which allows archivists to share innovations in descriptive practice, workflow, and technology and to highlight the description of significant collections. This year's Expo does not have a formal theme, and unlike previous years, the Expo will not have a staffed booth in the Exhibit Area. Instead, the physical presence of the Expo will be a table in the registration/lobby area for SAA2007 at the Fairmont Chicago.
