Core

Anticipated work for Q4 2011

MediaShelf

  • finishing AF improvements
    • Rails-style models with documentation
    • brings AF closer to ActiveModel behavior
    • should mean eventual less code in hydra-head
  • bug fixes in OM
  • solrizer optimization, including Hull's pdf indexing features
  • hydra_head update to take advantage of AF update (if necessary)
TODO

This will be reported on at end of Q4, but not acted on.

  • Rails 3.1 upgrade
    • assets_path points to javascript and needs to be addressed
    • Matt: we're not attempting to keep Rails version numbers in sync with hydra-head version numbers

Stanford and UVA

  • "solr mods" work (conceptual phase, not for Q4)
    • does this fit into MediaShelf's optimization work? (Naomi: no)
  • Phase 3 UI stuff for October 3rd
    • AJAX features: submit, auto-save/save on change

Hull

  • possible things that could be put into the core, ie. we will be doing this and you could choose to pull it in
    • views for image objects
    • working with objects in Hydra so that OMI-PMH would see it on harvest
  • Hull fork of solrizer includes full-text pdf indexing and will be pulled into master

Local Developments

Hull

  • Ruby models for a wider-range of content (not generally applicable)
  • Move to Rails3 probably at the same time as move to hydra-head
  • hierarchical facets are spec'ed and 80% implemented
    • propagating changes to child objects needs to be done
New Grant
  • preserving research data is very important
  • history department has a bunch of disparate datasets that need ingesting into the repository
  • 6 mo. project, starts Oct. 1

Hypatia

To be done before October 31, 2011

  • Phase 4 UI work to support drag-n-drop
  • Hypatia administration of objects that might go back into hydra-head core

    Flash uploader is not the best choice. HTML drag-n-drop is the better alternative.

  • editing of archival collections at the item level
  • data loading for 7-13 collections
  • EAD parsing and loading — doesn't seem to be interest from the group in spinning that out to other heads
Additional items

Things for next quarter

  • batch loading
  • documentation for batch loadings
  • complete FTK batch loader

Libra

  • relating datasets
  • through December
  • School of Engineering will be able to add their ETDs at the end of December 2011

Northwestern

  • finish reference implementation of PSTDS (using Drupal)
  • find out about VoV grant in Oct., need to be ready by Feb. 2012
  • discussion with ND about DIL
  • discussion with Wisconsin about authR/authN
DIL
  • move functionality over to hydra-head
    • collection customization
    • drag-n-drop
    • image management with faculty upload and presentation
    • image cropping
    • multi-resolution issues
  • dynamic sets created on the fly and adhoc sets created by the user in a particular order
    • sets are private as opposed to a public curated set of items

Notre Dame

see ND Roadmap Q4

Rockhall

  • PBCore metdata editing
    • nice ways of adding additional fields
    • plain HTML, merge-in AJAX stuff as it develops
  • SIP and ingest methods for ingesting video

Stanford

  • Hypatia
  • Argo
  • Image stack
  • Self-deposit application (no firm timeline yet)
    • pilot work with researchers depositing datasets
