As it's Friday, I'm asking all my followers to please retweet (and comment) on this post if you see it, to help my bird account be seen! 🙏♥️
To make it worth sharing, here's a Fieldfare stretching for the tastiest berry! 😀🐦
Thank you very much! ♥️

There's a saying that perseverance pays off and last Sunday it certainly did. 7 visits and some 25+ hours sat freezing cold waiting for Short-eared owls to come out of their roost of which most were pretty pointless photo wise. All made totally worthwhile just before sunset!

@adam__moore (2) - In an XML/JSON file, how to encode RAiD? At article-level or more granular than that? with funding? Journals need to agree on where/how to present/store this info. JATS has a generic metadata (name/value) field, but JATS-specific. Globally?
Many thanks to mathling for the live tweets of Balisage! #balisage2022

GB: In the end: XProc 3 pipeline
Practice is to save whole folder (including code) into SVN so have data in branch after each run
Convert early on to semantic XML so good for comparison
#balisage2022
XProc 3 is out and real, with implementations. There is no excuse not to use it! #balisage2022

Really wanted a bit more [shock!] validation/correction;
early feedback on quality of data, as report
