Agenda: 

  • OAI-PMH documentation group finished their charge and result is now hosted on the Samvera Wiki!

  • Roadmaps alignments group - no big updates, just plans for new year

  • Best way to identify scholarly works? Dublin Core (dc.source)? Homegrown? - Question via slack from Rachel Jacobson

    • Dc.source - help text

    • Question from Georgetown (Hyku)

    • OSU (Hyrax) no. We use a custom Genre field based on MODS for the worktype. We use Type/Resource Type with DCMI type terms for harvesting. Source is used for a long string that designates the difference between the analog object and the digital object.

    • Amigos, most libraries use original work name

    • An issue is that Hyku doesn’t make it easy to add metadata fields. Most Hyku instances represented in this group have been customized.

  • User suggested metadata? - Christine Peterson’s question

    • There’s a project in New Mexico that she is looking into. A consideration is for instance that “Navajo” is not a term used in the indigenous community for instance. She was looking more for see and see also terms.

    • Julie noted there are gems, e.g. Questioning Authority, that lets you use a controlled vocabulary that is published or provide your own terms. However, she doesn’t know if Hyku provides that. Using it is field-specific. For instance, based near uses Geonames with QA gem. You can see an example on a Nurax instance.

    • Cara says they use QA with both their repositories. However, the term you want has to be in your controlled vocabulary.
