Agenda:

• Subgroup Reports

  • URI Selection Working Group

    • No updates at this time

• Roadmaps Alignment Group Update

  • Jen young will be stepping down as liaison from SMIG to this group

  • NZ will reach out to jen + folks who have expressed interest in maybe stepping into that role

• Issues/Questions

  • None

• Discussion Topics

  • Samvera Connect reflections

    • AG: really enjoyed jen’s lightning talk about reparative remediation as well as the Bulrax deep-dive

    • NZ: presentations on collaborative workflows involving multiple departments

  • SMIG Scope and Objectives

    • Question of meeting frequency

      • Seems like for the time being, folks agree to keep standing monthly meetings

    • Could try to better utilize the “provide ways to share metadata work in progress” at meetings in a more structured way. Invite participants to share their ongoing projects in a low stakes way

    • Is Avalon still a viable part of our scope?

      • Julie: Avalon is likely going to be incorporated into Hyrax in the ~near~ future and so there may very well be Avalon-related metadata work soon

      • Is there an a/v worktype?

        • Not right now, Avalon is still using a separate standalone stack.  The descriptive metadata switch to the draft MAP has not happened, it’s still MODS XML based; but technical and administrative has been moved to RDF

        • https://github.com/samvera-labs/avalon-bundle/wiki/Avalon-Audiovisual-Work-Model

        • Gap analysis of what Avalon is doing prior to it’s incorporation into Hyrax will happen, and this will include metadata evaluation

        • SMIG could play a role in advising on this work.  The descriptive metadata currently uses a lot of ebucore.  There is a question of how this relates with PBCore

    • Are there ways we could support documentation of metadata crosswalking/integration from commonly used complementary systems, such as EAD XML from ArchiveSpace or audiovisual material in Avalon, or in the use of the AllisonFlex gem?

      • Having someone from SMIG be part of the Roadmaps Alignment Group will be critical for advancing these kinds of integrations and collaborations and making them priorities

    • The SMIG member list has a lot of folks who have changed institutions or are no longer actively involved

      • The membership list, outside of naming the current co-facilitators, could be purged.  

      • To document participation, the DLF Metadata Support Group lists the folks who have attended meetings in the past year. Updated annually. 

      • Alternatively, could move “past members/participants” to the bottom of the page as a memorialization.

  • Topics/Plans for next year

    • At the beginning of the year, we had discussed an EDI roundtable

      • How to serve content warnings in repository applications

      • Local namespaces

      • Reparative metadata work and critical cataloging

    • Sharing Metadata Application Profiles/Worktypes within Samvera community applications

    • Sharing current metadata projects and ongoing work

    • Accessibility work in the metadata context

      • https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/

      • What constitutes a “good faith effort” towards accessibility benchmarks, and how can metadata be used for this?

      • How to serve Alt text in Samvera applications? 

      • How can or should metadata be used in our applications towards addressing these issues? 

      • DPLA links to a statement on each page re: harmful and outdated content

      • Could schedule a roundtable discussion, and invite folks to participate from outside our immediate community (e.g. DLF Accessibility WG) and also folks from other active Samvera IGs/WGs

      • Accessibility could very well be an area that coalesces its own separate Samvera community IG/WG

  • Demo Suggestions

    • Invite folks involved in AllisonFlex to either do a demo at a SMIG meeting or to send in a recorded demo for SMIG to discuss, and someone could be there to answer questions 

    • Ryan and Sarah from UOregon are willing to do a demo of their Bulkrax implementation, which they’ve been working on with Notch8, in early 2022. 

  • Other Topics for SMIG to potentially consider this year

    • Linked data integrations (e.g. ORCID) and handling/processing of metadata from external sources

      • https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyrax-doi  

      • Was demonstrated at Samvera Connect in a Lightning talk: https://youtu.be/NwZfFpaSDlg?t=11008

    • Roadmaps alignment group has been looking into DOI-minting and DOI integration work; automated registration with DataCite

      • AK: integrations with DOI/DataCite could have unintended consequences for some types of work, for example it is really geared towards scholarly publishing and not antiquities https://schema.datacite.org/
