We want Samvera Community to be a fun, informative, engaging event for all our partners and participants. We've got a few strategies to help make this happen:
We encourage everyone to apply the Samvera community principles of openness, inquiry, and respect in their interactions at the event.
Staff from the British Library will join us to talk through the joint research database they have developed with a number of partners: National Museums Scotland, Tate, MOLA, British Museum and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The repository is built in Samvera Hyku and was developed in collaboration with Ubiquity Press.
Next f2f Partner Meeting: Emory University, Atlanta - Monday April 27th and Tuesday 28th (to lunchtime). Hotel suggestions and unordered list of discussion topics on the meeting wiki page.
Adding contact names/emails to the list of Samvera instances in production and in development, and to the grants page.
Anyone going to Code4Lib who could help staff a Samvera table?
Ideas for a short presentation (about something innovative) on next month's call?
Anything to bring to Steering's attention? (Standing item)

Staff from the British Library will join us to talk through the joint research database they have developed with a number of partners: National Museums Scotland, Tate, MOLA, British Museum and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The repository is built in Samvera Hyku and was developed in collaboration with Ubiquity Press.
exploring whether Hyku will be suitable to handle all of ethos in the future
Independent research organization
Decided to have own repo but also on behalf of others.
Launched shared repo process 18 months ago.
With Ubiquity and Hyku
Launched live in late November.
Will eventually extend to more organizations.
Features
search across organizations with items in repo
can go also go to each individually
support for embargo, including mix of embargoed and public within an item
Filter bar – resource type, collection, creator, institution, availability, keyword, language
featured collections, recent additions
analytics across everything, can also do it for individual organizations
Default Hyku with snazzy front end design over the top
Specific customizations by Ubiquity, to be eventually contributed back to community
created 11 new work types with specific metadata: article, book, dataset, exhibition, report, thesis or dissertation (exploring suitability; support for doctoral partnerships)
ISNI, ORCID (for authors and contributors), DOI integrations.
Repository of Scotland eprints were mapped and imported (huge job/accomplishment) - field mapping and validation was a lot of work. Not within Hyku. Python. Partners are working on a community tool that will be made part of Hyku. Current solution is proprietary (Ubiquity).
