Agenda: 

• Samvera Data Models (from Slack)

  • Oregon (?) data model example - Hydra::Works PCDM Diagram

  • Does anyone have or would be willing to get a RDF dump? Benjamin Riesenberg (briesenb@uoregon.edu) from University of Oregon would like to use it to investigate

  • If it’s fedora 4 its PCDM (Hyrax 3 is fedora 4)

• Ordering of compound objects

  • Can’t remember the context this came up in, seems to be a bit of across the board issue for people in various contexts. OSU and UofL both have had this issue

  • UNC has ordered their authors with hierarchy 

    • More historical info about metadata ordering in the community:Hyrax Metadata Ordering Working Group  

    • Presentation that has some more information about UNC’s people objects:https://cdr.lib.unc.edu/concern/scholarly_works/c247dx287 - AG also happy to put folks in touch with UNC developers for technical questions

  • Emma/Anna cannot remember the context of this question so will move on. If someone remembers how this came up, let us know and we will add it to the agenda again

  • Link shared by AK in chat: Ordering metadata fields with multiple values · Issue #4781 · samvera/hyrax  

  • Might be more about sorting

• Broken up source field (Georgetown from Slack)

  • Georgetown developer fixed it!

  • Ended up being a Solr problem

  • “The solution to our Source issue was: we had to make the field sortable (“sim”) within Blacklight, indicated that it should be "facetable" in an additional file, BasicMetadataIndexer, and then reindex”

• Changed title in collection, and then the collection would not show up in the filtering

  • Some others have had similar but not quite exact issues, seems like Solar/Hyrax/Hyku is almost remembering the previous system but not quite

  • The solution thus far has been to completely delete and re-upload the content

• Vendor packages questions - Tufts 

  • Ingesting content 

• Roadmaps alignment group update

  • Representatives from various samvera products

  • Technology community report should be out before the end of the calendar year that would discuss various developments in the community 

  • How do we support various developments going on in the community. Avalon is kinda doing its own thing. Hyrax and Hyku are a bit more community based. The newest release of Hyku 6 should have allinson flex, which would make it possible in Hyrax

• AllinsonFlex

  • SMIG_2023-06-27_Hardesty_Bulkrax-and-AllinsonFlex-Demo.mp4

  • In the next few weeks it should be in Hyku and we should be able to see it there

  • Allows people to design a set of fields with a context that can be assigned to an admin set or specific fields

  • Amigos has headed up some work with British LIbraries and PALS with the goals of:

    • UI for editing/creating metadata

    • Optional ability to make updates with upload of YAML file will be retained

    • Ability to create and update new work types and metadata profiles

    • Create fields or edit/update field names

    • Ability to determine which fields are required

    • Contexts, a preset of metadata fields related to a specific repository or source, attached to an

    • M3 (Machine-readable Metadata Modeling) metadata specification

      • https://github.com/samvera-labs/houndstooth/blob/main/examples/hyrax_3_0.yaml

  • We’re still working through what this will exactly look like, but it has a lot of possibilities

• UI is able to see more than 10 facets in the more dialog which sounds like not a default

Next meeting September 24th
