The Unsuspected Francis Lieber
No full textThe Unsuspected Francis Lieber examines paradoxes in the life and work of Francis Lieber. Lieber is best known as the author of the 1863 Lieber Code, the War Department\u27s General Order No. 100. It was the first modern statement of the law of armed conflict. This paper questions whether the Lieber Code was truly humanitarian, especially in view of its valorization of military necessity. Also reviewed is the contrast between the Code\u27s extraordinarily favorable treatment of African-Americans and Lieber\u27s personal history of slave-holding.
Lieber\u27s shift from civil libertarian to authoritarian after 1857, as exemplified by his support of Lincoln\u27s suspension of habeas corpus and by Lieber\u27s proposal of a constitutional amendment to impose a duty of plenary allegiance on citizens, is critically discussed.
To provide context, this paper examines certain nineteenth-century reform movements, events in Lieber\u27s personal life, and Lieber\u27s political philosophy of institutional liberty -- all to show their effect on Lieber and his work

Témoignage sur les opérations de sauvetage
No full textTestimony on Rescuing Jewish Children.
A member of the "Eclaireurs Israélites de France" since the early 1930s, the author met most of the men and women who became the leaders group within the underground Jewish resistance called "La Sixième". She became one of the social workers who helped many children left behind when their parents were killed, held in the detention camps of Southern France or deported.Klein-Lieber Lilianne.

Francis Lieber on Public War
No full textThis paper examines Francis Lieber's concept of modern war as "public war" - in the Code he drafted for the 1863 Union Armies and in his earlier writings. Though Lieber was not the first to engage the distinction between private and public war, his treatment of modern war as exclusively public nevertheless deserves special attention. It became, in time, a foundational concept of the 19th Century effort to modernize and humanize the laws of war. Today, it remains embedded, albeit implicit, in contemporary international humanitarian law and its paradigmatic interstate war outlook.Yet Lieber's public war definition was driven by the ideological sensibilities of his youth in Vormärz Germany: romantic nationalism, ardent republicanism, and profound faith in modernity and progress. It took normative form but was, essentially, an ideological assertion. Lieber's public war definition sought to offer ideological justification for the modern nation State, its formation and existence. It also sought to construct and justify, again in ideological terms, the formation, existence, and preservation of an international order comprised of nation States; such order, alone, could meet the challenges of modern conditions. For Lieber, limiting war to nations and States alone was an ideological imperative of progressive civilization in the modern age.Reflection on Lieber's public war definition suggest lines of inquiry that may produce a richer understanding of the intellectual foundations and ideological motivation of modern international law. At the same time, such inquiries compel historical, normative, and policy reconsideration of interstate paradigm of war and its costs. They also promise to enrich contemporary normative and policy debates about the regulation of privatized warfare and non-state actors.© 2012, The Author.

O STRUKTURI LEKSIKONA-- Rochelle Lieber, On the organization of the lexicon, Indiana University Linguistic Club, Bloomington 1981.
No full textThe author reviews R. Lieber's book “On the Organization of the Lexicon”.
R. Lieber has set herself the task to analyze theoretical implications which result from inserting flexions into the lexicon. According to the author, Lieber's monograph contains perspicuous analyses of semantic and topical morphological problems. He finds particularly successful her analysis of the problem of infiltration of morphological characteristics into derived words and compounds. She was less successful in trying to prove that inflection is completely included in the lexicon

FAIR Authority Data, a First Step Towards a Linked Open Belgian Bibliography
No full textIn 2024 no one should have to manually read thousands of pages to nitpick relevant information in a National Bibliography. Instead users should be able to discover the bibliography by a modern facetted search based on available data.
However, unlocking the potential of National Bibliographies as Linked Open Data requires more than just publishing the underlying bibliographic records online. Text strings and opaque codes need to be understandable by humans and machines. In this presentation I will highlight the importance of FAIR authority data as a building block for Linked National Bibliographies. In particular I will focus on machine-understandable metadata at the Royal Library of Belgium and the current research infrastructure project MetaBelgica.
We are driven by the principle of a single source of truth: whatever the enrichment, we need to add it to our catalogue following best practices. This ensures that our MARC-based records with many multilingual text strings become MARC-based records filled with Linked Data-ready concepts. Thus also avoiding several copies of data at different locations and in different quality.
Practical considerations include the use of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) throughout our catalogue and an entity management system that produces persistent identifiers (PIDs) for Belgian authority data. I will introduce how we use Resource Description and Access (RDA) terms in our catalog. Furthermore I will introduce the envisioned Wikibase-powered MetaBelgica platform. This will not only become the home for authority data, but also has the potential to onboard other controlled vocabularies or multilingual thesauri such as the concepts of the Belgian Bibliography. Like this, more and more concepts with PIDs can be referenced by our bibliographic records.
This methodology of enriching MARC records with Linked Data terms is not novel. But our future developments with respect to authority data and Wikibase might be of interest for the community.
