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.
