NoSQL Bibliographic Records: Implementing a Native FRBR Datastore with Redis by Jeremy Nelson.
From the background:
Using the Library of Congress Bibliographic Framework for the Digital Age as the starting point for software development requirements; the FRBR-Redis-Datastore project is a proof-of-concept for a next-generation bibliographic NoSQL system within the context of improving upon the current MARC catalog and digital repository of a small academic library at a top-tier liberal arts college.
The FRBR-Redis-Datastore project starts with a basic understanding of the MARC, MODS, and FRBR implemented using a NoSQL technology called Redis.
This presentation guides you through the theories and technologies behind one such proof-of-concept bibliographic framework for the 21st century.
I found the answer to “Well, Why Not Hadoop?”
Hadoop was just too complicated compared to the simple three-step Redis server set-up.
refreshing.
Simply because a technology is popular doesn’t mean it meets your requirements. Such as administration by non-full time technical experts.
An Oracle database supports applications that could manage garden club finances but that’s a poor choice under most circumstances.
The Redis part of the presentation is apparently not working (I get Python errors) as of today and I have sent a note with the error messages.
A “proof-of-concept” that merits your attention!
