URL: From jon at pielaet.net Sat Apr 30 19:22:31 2011 From: jon at pielaet.net (Jon Pielaet) Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:22:31 -0600 Subject: [Westernmontana-pm] Welcome Message-ID: Sure Tomas, Well, I am responsible for all of the alternatively formatted materials at Disability Services for Students at the University of Montana. For the most part, this means producing DAISY Digital Talking Books (DTBook XML is at the core of that standard) but we also emboss some Braille from time to time. Right now, we convert paper books to UTF-8 text using production scanners and OCR software then, student employees mark-up that text in Microsoft Word and export it to DTBook XML using an Open Source Plug-in. I would love to get rid of Word but teaching students the inner working of this XML is not really realistic for the most part. I am basically the only one who ever looks at the XML, and there are common fixes that I would like to automate. Perl seems like a good choice for this task. I am just starting to learn the basics of Perl, but I have been using Unix\Linux for years. More recently, I begun studying extended RegEx. In fact, that is what has attracted me to Perl. I already have some useful expressions written for egrep, sed, and awk, so scripting in Perl seems like the next logical step. I am working my way through "The Llama" (Learning Perl - O'Reilly) right now. If anyone has any tips for working with XML in Perl, I would love to hear them. I like to talk about what I do, so let me know if you have questions. Thanks, Jon Pielaet KD7SWH From jdownes at krmc.org Sat Apr 30 22:04:40 2011 From: jdownes at krmc.org (Jack Downes) Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 23:04:40 -0600 Subject: [Westernmontana-pm] Welcome References: Message-ID: <1402A47F9640C043B4CFA045AEDBDF60017CCD61@EXMAIL1.krh.int> I work at a hospital. Soon, I'm to be working with XML in a medical setting - translating messages from HL7 to XML, and working with Mirth Channel exports to assist in automatic listener setup for feeds to a Xapian search engine. Whenever I work with XML, my first choice is to try out XML::Twig for my application, and if that fails, use search.cpan.org to find the most recent release of whatever module I want. As I get into this project more, I'll work at being more proactive on communication of it.
