Sigfrid Lundberg's Stuff
2014-09-14: Questions after twenty years on the web
I have had this site since 1995, but the oldest parts are in fact
from 1994, which makes twenty years of presence on the web. There are a lot
of thoughts around this. For example, should I keep the site or through it
away? If I keep it, should I stick to having English as its main language?

Having actively maintained my site for some, I've decided make a
few changes...

2009-07-09: OpenSearch, RSS and OPML as XML Webservices for information
retrieval
At the Royal Library we have been working with the building of an
infrastructure for publishing of digitized material. It is collections of
digital images, usually with very little textual content to go with it. It
is quite a challenge to build workflows satisfying the needs of technical
staff running the scanners, the librararian and editorial staff doing the
cataloging and the needs for crosswalking metadata from the OPAC and at the
same time be able to syndicate the material in other services adhering to
different standards.

2009-07-06: About this site
I'm a terrible nerd. To use software like content management
systems or blog software is unthinkable for me. There are many ways to build
a site like this. I have chosen one that maximizes the use of angle
brackets.

My name is Sigfrid Lundberg. The stuff I publish here may, or may not, be of interest for anyone else.
On this site there is material on photography, music, literature and other stuff I enjoy in life. However, most of it is related to my profession as an Internet programmer and software developer within the area of digital libraries. I have been that at the Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen (Denmark) and, before that, Lund university library (Sweden).
The content here does not reflect the views of my employers. They are now all past employers, since I retired 1 May 2023.
