Agenda

1. IMLS Grant Update
   1. Documentation still under active development
   2. Starting development, first sprint will focus on translating models and relationships from PCDM Profile into working code.

   1. Added ordering proxy for article in issue
   2. Article-level files now a separate fileset
      1. Are proxies needed to order these? Or could ordering be done without proxies?
   3. Binary files may be attached to NewspaperContainer objects

   1. Working on documentation related to ingest use cases (PDF, NDNP data, etc.)

      1. What is required for each?

      2. What files already exist?

      3. What derivatives need to be created?

      4. How should full text be indexed?

      5. How should batch ingest UX be structured?

4. Content Examples: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwKKtxaBVqjEbE5zMFdWUEU4WGM?usp=sharing
   
   1. Have:
      
      1. PDF issues
      2. NDNP
      3. METS-ALTO
   2. Still need:
      
      1. CONTENTdm
      2. TEI

      3. Olive

      4. ???

   3. Did not cover this during call
      
      
      

5. Design Overview docs

   2. NewspaperViews (display gem): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LorDyCVB9UW6exfA1y5fG2bQb6ASXLHa03nNgQYrtZA/edit?usp=sharing

   3. Did not cover this during call
      
      
6. Intel sharing from other groups/members
   1. Linn-Benton Community College
      1. Have a collection of student newspapers, working on ingesting these into Hyrax-based repo
         1. Issue-level PDFs
         2. Model: https://github.com/lbcclib/community_archive/blob/master/app/models/newspaper_issue.rb
         3. Public view: http://libarchive.linnbenton.edu/collections/gh93gz51j?locale=en
      2. Have questions around formatting of issue titles
         1. How best to format to include date of publication, volume, issue number?
         2. Occasionally volume/issue data as printed on issue is incorrect
            1. Typical cataloging practice is to transcribe as data appears on item
            2. Can add correction as a note
      3. Interested in being able to search within a particular volume (year)
         1. Could volumes be modeled as subcollections?
            
            

Next meeting: Thursday January 4, 1 PM EST

Notes

Grant updates: kick-off has happened and project is under way. Starting with the models, as laid out in the PCDM docs, as Ruby code, and the relations among objects. Getting things wired up is the first order of business. Next up will be create and edit forms for Newspapers at titles, and then proceed down the chain to file attachments. Not too much code to share yet, but GitHub repos have been set up and will be sharable shortly.

PCDM Profile: There have been updates since last meeting (see links above). Most significant is adding object for newspaper-article images (images that represent just an article). These are PCDM filesets that are children of newspaper article objects. Discussion of whether to order articles in an issue (use case: presenting a TOC or presenting user with ordered list of articles on a page). Added proxy for article and issue to support that ordering.

For Newspaper container objects (microfilm reels, bound volumes), which sometimes have non-newspaper content (reference targets, e.g., or title cards), we've added a fileset that is child of newspaper container object that an act as a parent for all those things. Ordering does not seem important for these.

For the newspaper-issue object, you might have a PDF or full text of that object, so there's a fileset for those, too.
