    • Are there other types of content we might model?
    • Michael also mentioned the need to model emulation software as part of the modeling
    • Nathan asked about relationships between objects within collections, how this gets turned into a usable whole collection with defined relationships by end-users. 
      • ArcLight thinking about this to some degree.
      • What is the system of record for metadata? Reconciling what we do with a repo vs what we do in an archival collection mgmt system.

      • Mellon grant to create end-to-end digital archives workflow

      • Drag and drop to resource records in ASpace – populating from Archivematica arrangement and description tab. 
    • Conversations at U-M very similar to conversations in HAIG
    • Space setup in ArchivesSpace JIRA for this work – some documentation will go there.
    • Trying to figure out how much description to have where – repo, ASpace

  • ArcLight
    • 2015 is just design
    • Interview process is ongoing; would still like interviews from institutions over the next couple of months – end of May

  • Where else to seek involvement?
    • DLF
    • regionals?
    • RAC at SAA?
