Samvera Archivists Interest Group

Owned by Bill Branan
Last updated: Jun 29, 2017 by Irene Taylor

A hub to capture information related to the Samvera Archivists Interest Group (SAIG; formerly the Hydra Archivists Working Group (HAWG)).

Our primary communication channel is the Samvera-community mailing list, for maximum transparency and inclusivity.

Scope

The Samvera Archivists Interest Group will bring together interested parties to discuss issues related to the development of archival tools in the Samvera community. Topics may include:

  • ingest of born-digital objects with machine-derived metadata;
  • integration with tools for digital curation and forensics, such as Archivematica, Artefactual's Format Policy Registry, BitCurator, bulk migration, or other preservation workflows;
  • identification of best practices and patterns in archival discovery (how we might work together to make finding aids optimally discoverable and available in Blacklight environments); and
  • integration with EAC, other metadata sources, and ontologies;
  • representation of archival metadata in the RDF data model (intersects with  Hydra RDF Working Group).

History

SAIG began as HAWG, focused on integration between Samvera-based repositories and ArchivesSpace. Discussions around integrating between Samvera and ArchivesSpace occurred at DLF in 2013, HydraConnect 2014 in San Diego and LibDevConX^4 in April, 2014. ArchivesSpace Integration Use Cases were developed and shared over the summer, 2014.
