Agenda/Notes

  • Avalon user survey

  • UMD OAI-PMH demo (Joshua Westgard)

    • https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Gv7-2SrSWwTQ9zZvJ5RPtqyNmHQ3lPDBlARpnAWjA7Y/edit#slide=id.gf27aec70bb_0_24

    • Joint collection in DPLA endpoint (Digital Library of Georgia) with contributions from University of Maryland College Park and Georgia State University as part of a CLIR grant

    • Created a single Python server application to implement OAI-PMH for both Fedora (their paged media repository) and Avalon

      • Repo is available on Github: umd-oaipmh-server

      • Talks to Solr (rather than Fedora) to get sets and provides an API to respond to OAI-PMH requests. Solr more performant than Fedora.

      • also provides an http endpoint for humans to see the OAI-PMH responses

    • Added a note to the records in Avalon to indicate which records in collection should be pulled into the OAI-PMH set.

    • Right now, Avalon exposes any collection as a set by default. If you want to make a special exhibition set that is a sub-group of an Avalon collection, a dev would have to change configuration. Would be nice to be able to select items in the Avalon interface and then create an OAI set so that a developer would not be required.

    • Anyone can go to repository for the Python server and clone/re-use as is.

      • Only bit that is particularly custom to UMD is how to identify sets

    • Need to be able to harvest records in Avalon updated since a given time. Last updated in Solr does not effectively relate to when metadata was last updated. Recommended using updated timestamp of Solr record itself, which is only an issue if you blow away your Solr index and everything will look new to the harvester.

    • They use handle to create permalinks for their Avalon records; when a new record is created in Avalon, they have a process that gets a handle for it. Part of their local customization.

  • Updates/questions from other institutions

  • Future agenda items?

    • Demo of LTI integration with course management system

    • Summary of survey responses
