      • Similar to electronic art use case at Cornell
    • Michael will share a blog post explaining this better
    • 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.
  • Michigan's work analogous to the PDCM work
    • Overview:
      • Mellon grant to create end-to-end digital archives workflow
      • Started with DSpace, but in longer term looking at a repo-agnostic workflow
      • Artefactual did a site visit in January; came up with a workflow for objects received on physical media
      • Transfer/ingest in Archivematica – interaction with Accession record in ArchivesSpace
      • 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
      • Intellectual arrangement
    • Lesson learned from HathiTrust – would rather point to descriptive metadata rather than incorporate it
  • Linked data – who's doing what
  • ArcLight
    • 2015 is just design
    • Interview process is ongoing; would still like interviews from institutions over the next couple of months – end of May
    • GA Tech doing some interviews – everyone else throw down!
  • Where else to seek involvement?
    • DLF
    • regionals?
    • RAC at SAA?
    • What are the implications of Hydra-in-a-Box?
