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
