Agenda:
Samvera Community updates
Roadmaps alignment group
Reflecting on partners meeting last week
When do we have a joint Hyrax/Hyku roadmap? Maybe April or May to have a drafting session to build that
Preliminary roadmap by june at Open Repositories
Work SMIG has been doing to prioritize metadata has been top of mind
Hyku/Hyrax feature list from Regional meeting - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y__ZetV0ohkiTJpMuHbWobk_mTKd3mFURtjsLHvT8xQ/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Documentation working group
Surfacing and organizing work that needs to be done, but can’t always/usually do the work themselves
Organized on - Documentation Tasks • samvera
Sprint forthcoming, hoping to get involvement from the full community to write documentation then
Demo from UNC of their authority ordering
Author order is one of the most requested feature at UNC. Rebekah shared the Pull Request for this feature in the UNC GitHub repository.
Implemented using an Index Field
Could theoretically be applied to other fields
Related to Hyrax issue 4781 and Hyku issue
Christine said that Notch 8 claims that Valkyrie does not require customization for ordering
Open Discussion
Metadata Priorities updates?
How do we prioritize them? Maybe 1-5?
Urgency & need 1-5 & ease of development
Maybe we send out a poll to gauge SMIG rating?
“Metadata” on Github new/old/bring back
Hyrax - https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20metadata&page=3
Combining a few
Hyku - https://github.com/samvera/hyku/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20metadata
Can some of these be combined re flexible worktypes - #1674, 1493, 1485
Do we pull anything off this and submit tickets? - Hyrax and Hyku Feature Requests from 2024 regional meetings
Flexible metadata - hard to make too many decisions without seeing it implemented in a few systems. Should help with worktype development when setting up a repository
Nurax - 3 in Hyrax one with Fedora 4, 5 and postgress
Hyku is working on their own flavor of Nurx which would have flexible metadata. Moving it to a Samvera domain
Next meeting: April 22
