The next version of SchXslt2 will support a processing instruction schxslt.declare-param to aid writing ISO Schematron w/ abstract patterns. I chose a processing instruction over reusing the sch:param element to not interfere with the current standardisation process.
If the processing instruction is used, the transpiler terminates with an error if a declared parameter is not provided, and if a provided parameter ist not declared.

Is it just me or do others also get hungry when writing about schema design patterns?

Die beste Freundin meines ältesten Nichtenkindes benötigt Teilnehmer*innen für die Studie ihrer Abschlussarbeit. In Absprache mit ihr teile ich das hier. Freue mich über Boosts, sie benötigt nämlich 600 Teilnehmer*innen. (Oder auch: Holy shit, sind das viele! 😱):
"Die Studie zu meiner Abschlussarbeit ist endlich online! Du würdest mir riesig helfen, wenn du daran teilnimmst. Es geht um Musikpräferenzen und Persönlichkeitsfacetten und dauert ca. 30-40 Minuten. Zur Studie kommst du, wenn du auf den Link klickst : https://survey.uni-graz.at/index.php/864944?lang=de :)
Gerne kannst du das auch an alle weiterleiten, die dir so einfallen.
Jede Person hilft! ❤️"
Danke!

Setting up Emacs for VuFind
development
I've gotten more involved in PHP development lately, mostly working on VuFind-related packages. My editor of choice is GNU Emacs, and today I finally finished my Emacs setup. Lo and behold!

Wie lesen Screenreader E-Books vor, welche a11y-Features verbessern wirklich die Barrierefreiheit und welche sind nur für die Galerie? Darüber habe ich mal einen kleinen Artikel geschrieben. #eprdctn #a11y

Kollege @xporc hat sehr unterhaltsam zum Thema Screenreader und #EPUB-Tagging gebloggt: https://xporc.net/2024/02/17/e-book-barrierefreiheit-screenreader-und-ihre-lesegewohnheiten/
Quintessenz: Viele Vorgaben, die von Tools oder Prüfstellen geprüft werden, sind eher ideologisch motiviert (z.B. <em>/<i>, <strong>/<b>) und eigentlich egal. Andererseits gibt es an sich nützliche und wünschenswerte Dinge wie #longdesc, die ideologischen Grabenkämpfen an anderer Stelle (#whatwg vs. #w3c/#a11y-Experten) zum Opfer fielen.

Gute Nachricht für alle Interessierten: Die Teilnahme am morgigen Workshop "How to Preserve Diverse Data in a Monolingual Environment: Introducing the Project Closing the Gap in Non-Latin-Script Data" ist auch online möglich.
Mi., 14.2. 9:30 - 12:30 Uhr: https://blog.sub.uni-hamburg.de/?p=37428 #DigitalHumanities
Reading Bob DuCharme's "Maintaining Schemas for Pipelined Stages" http://www.snee.com/xml/schemaStages.html
I think it is not only about stages in a pipeline, but also about schemas for different audiences. I.e. editing a digital scholarly edition vs. publishing vs. quality assurance.

Disappointed there does not seem to be any open data initiative to catalogue which books are available in which libraries.
The major player in the field, #WorldCat, is driven by a cooperative (#OCLC), but the membership fees are, ahem, substantial. I don't doubt they spend that money on their many tools and projects, but I suspect something more open and narrowly scoped could be much more accessible.
Am I missing any promising initiative?

Don’t want to read my 17-page article on the uses and abuses of XML in #lexicography? Then watch this 20-minute video instead, a recording of my talk at #DeclarativeAmsterdam last November. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzFneIBu0jA
