CallerNo6 likes watching as Freso works his way through the chatlogs. It's like watching a dorsal fin approach the life raft.

Freso in that post you say you want to capture everything... do you think it'd be possible to grab some of that stuff out of movie end credits?

It's white text on a black background (usually), seems amenable to OCR.
2016-08-14 22754, 2016
BrigoNortensson
I don't know what the legal implications would be though... end credits seem like fair game, but you know how Hollywood is. I don't think you could let users upload those without a legal fight.

Can anyone tell me what the hell a VIAF is? I include them in my entries when I see them on the wikipedia page, but it's not clear to me what they are.
2016-08-14 22715, 2016
BrigoNortensson
With the ISNI, I know it's some industry thing for rights and royalties, but I've never sat down and figured out what VIAF is.

a VIAF says basically "this list of aliases and pseudonyms and whatever, they all refer to the same thing, and here is the official name that we file them under" I think.

sweet, the example WP gives for 'authority file' is Flann O'Brien.
hm.. i thought tags that where out of used were removed now
