The document outlines the capabilities of web browser controls in Adlib for data aggregation, validation, and web service integration, enhancing cataloguing efficiency. Key features include geolocation via Google Maps and utilization of Linked Open Data through Wikidata, promoting data improvement and user confidence. The process involves using Adlib Designer to create screens, apply XSLT for transformation, and integrate external resources effectively.
Web Browser Controls in Adlib: The Hidden Diamond in the Adlib Treasure Chest
- 1. Web browser controls in Adlib Harness the colossal power of the web browser in your CMS Stephen McConnachie Head of Data BFI Collections & Information
- 2. 1. Simple data aggregation: Work Summary 2. Data validation: Minimum Cataloguing Requirements 3. Web service integration: Geolocation 4. Linked Open Data: Wikidata Examples How it works 1. Screen definition: Adlib Designer 2. Transformation: XSLT
- 3. Digital PastSimple data aggregation: Work Summary • Aggregates data from multiple tabs • Enables copy + paste into Word, email, etc • Reformats data for concision in print output • Retains hyperlinks to AIS when pasted to digital doc
- 4. Digital PastData validation: Minimum Cataloguing Requirements • Assesses completeness of data in core fields • Displays red alerts for missing data • Acts as a prompt for cataloguer • Analyses data from multiple layers in hierarchy • Responds dynamically

- 7. Digital PastWeb service integration: Geolocation • Uses lat + long to call Google Maps API • Enables zoom and scroll • Offers Map or Satellite view • Supports disambiguation of identically named places • Increases cataloguer confidence in choosing correct location

- 9. Digital PastLinked Open Data: Wikidata • Uses Wikidata entity id to call the Reasonator* • Demonstrates LoD principles to system users • Informs data improvement manually by cataloguer • Lays the path to LoD proper (eg harvesting urls for online resources, augmenting data) *tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/
