If it is indeed active, I think perhaps the project could collaborate in some way with Open Food Facts. https://world.openfoodfacts.org/ What do you think?
hi folks, I'm looking at the BibJSON project page (http://okfnlabs.org/bibjson/#feedback). It mentions that a number of translators/parsers have been implemented already and are available in the organization's repo. Could someone please point me to that repo if possible? I'm unable to find it.
Probably these: https://github.com/okfn/bibserver/tree/master/parserscrapers_plugins but that repo was abandoned almost a decade ago
is there still any interest in promoting and using BibJSON or has this standard fallen by the way side?
If anyone is looking for open data day stuff there is a dedicated gitter channel here https://gitter.im/okfn/opendataday

if the list exists can someone add me? mori@invoked.net
@moribellamy The lists previously hosted at lists.okfn.org were shut down and archived a while ago. Some of them migrated to alternative homes though, which one were you trying to join? For general okfn projects discussion or following I guess the best place is https://discuss.okfn.org
Thanks for flagging the certificate issue, we are looking into it
Hi folks, I'm new here! 🐣
I came across a Rufus' post on PDF text extraction and I was wondering if any of you could point me to a 2020 state of the art PDF extraction library. I would like to parse journal articles (scientific papers) and reformat them in a better HTML view.
I confess that I have not tested the suggestions from Rufus' post yet, but I will.
Hi @felipedaraujo__twitter ! We don’t use this channel much anymore, and instead use https://discuss.okfn.org more often. But for your question, I’d recommend trying out some of the suggestions from the blog you posted. For example, Tabula is very popular for this. Also, we recently particpated in a hackday where we parsed some manuscript tables from eLife manuscripts, and you can see that script here: https://github.com/chris48s/elife-tables/blob/master/extract_tables.py. Hope that helps, and if you want to chat about it more, please open a discussion in our discuss forum instead :-)
For PDF table extraction, the best I've seen lately is https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/
and a supporting R application https://andysouth.shinyapps.io/healthsites_viewer/ developed by https://afrimapr.github.io/afrimapr.website/
we're looking for python support for the following user story osmlab/maproulette3#1367
Hi @markherringer We don’t use this channel much anymore, and instead use https://discuss.okfn.org more often. I suggest you post your comments there for more visibility :-)
Hi, I am new in this room. I am from the democratic republic of the Congo. I am the CEO of DRM Africa; an African initiative that applies the open data concept in strengthening the community resilience to both natural and anthropic hazards. I hope getting some useful knowledge and tools to reach out this goal in the African great lakes region. Thank you
as @lwinfree mentions above..https://discuss.okfn.org is where most of the OKFN chat is happening
