Partners' technical roadmap

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

  • 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
