Agenda: 

• Samvera community updates

  • Samvera Virtual Connect Schedule and sign up is out! 

  • Join program committee for Samvera Connect in Mexico City 

  • Roadmap alignment group

    • Technology paper is getting worked on again. 

    • Roadmaps summit concept - trying to get everyone back in the room again. Hard to plan around everyone's schedules

    • who is in this group (Roadmap alignment): 

      • overall: leadership from all the diff groups that are involved/working on things in Samvera

      • POs from valkyrie, hyrax, hyku, Samvera Community mgr, [Avalon?]

      • Avalon tends to still be working separately? so the group hopes to be able to align with that area

  • Two sprints coming out

    • Samvera documentation sprint - 

    •  

• Open discussion

  • Has anyone done work to get Archivematica data into Hyku via bulkrax?

    • Seems likely that someone has done it, but aren’t aware of automation

    • GitHub - research-technologies/hull_synchronizer: Repository to synchronize and monitor the processing tasks

    • Early versions of bulkrax at IU used METS XML

    • Bulkrax on github talks about XML importing, but not on by default

• Create tickets from Hyrax and Hyku Feature Requests from 2024 regional meetings

  • Flexible metadata 

    • Should be testable soon. Testing environment is currently on 6.1 release candidates. Will soon incorporate Flexible Metadata and become 6.2

    • Flexible metadata if valkyrie built

  • Collection changes

    • Enable CV support - Geonames (Enable Controlled Vocabulary Support on Collections. · Issue #3819 · samvera/hyrax ) 

    • Enable rights statements (Collections: you can't add a rights statement to a collection · Issue #3889 · samvera/hyrax ) 

    • Patrick asked about adding MESH CV through collections - use Questioning Authority perhaps? However, WVU is looking at Hyku.

    • Connecting to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)  

  • HTML in description field - Execute some html in description field · Issue #152 · samvera/hyrax  

    • How is it handled in iiif or the UV?

    • Seems mid level important. Would make it comparable to other products 

    • Some basic description in the collections level

  • Conditional requirements and/or - Support required fields that are either-or · Issue #371 · samvera/hyrax

    • Fairly niche 

  • Sorting issue - 

    • Add more sort options to search results page · Issue #3558 · samvera/hyrax

    • Would like to be able to sort by date, ascending/descending

    • Lots of interest

    • Don’t like “relevance” term

    • Would like collection by collection basis 

    • Facet sorting is an issue

    • Out of the box: date uploaded, date modified 

    • Date created sorting would probably required EDTF

• “Metadata” on Github new/old/bring back

  • Hyrax - https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20metadata&page=3

  • Hyku - https://github.com/samvera/hyku/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20metadata
