Agenda:

  • Update from attendees:

    • Tufts:

      • Erin Faulder left, they are re-assessing priorities

      • Planning to migration to Fedora 4

      • Looking at implementing ASpace, Archivematica

    • Chemical Heritage Foundation:

      • Just went into production with Hydra

      • Archives just one part of a big digital repository

      • Wanting to integrate ASpace and Hydra, or at least get EAD into Blacklight

    • Cincinatti:

      • A number of things coming up this year; starting to look at a Hydra head for digitized collections

      • Want to support digital surrogates, born-digital, visual resource

      • Awaiting IT infrastructure

      • Looking at implementing ASpace and Archivematica; using Archivematica to package content for APTrust

      • Unsure of ASpace/Hydra data exchange

      • Starting to explore a digital preservation repository Hydra head

    • Duke:

      • Spun up a second instance of Fedora/Hydra on a protected data network; used to store Board of Trustees minutes with 50 year restriction; raised some issues with full-text index; server they were living on reached end of life

      • Developed a better looking interface for digitized content: repository.lib.duke.edu

      • Looking at getting identifiers out of Hydra and into ASpace

    • Indiana:

      • Hydra DAMS 2 – not actually placing media files in Fedora; adding pointers to Fedora instead

      • Bringing technical metadata into Fedora as well

      • Delivering finding aids via XTF with links to digital objects (METS navigator); would like to do something Hydra with this

      • 2d and 3d biological collections

    • Michigan:

      • Considering Hydra archives head collaboration; looking at developing Hydra head for displaying archival materials

      • Continuing to work on workflow integration project; completed getting functionality from ASpace into Archivematica appraisal tab; getting metadata into DSpace

      • Looking at using SWORD protocol to get data into the repository

      • Looking at how PREMIS rights are implemented in Archivematica; Rights in ASpace PREMIS-ish

    • Penn State:

      • ArchiveSphere worked paused, undergoing re-assessment

      • Repository for cultural heritage objects

    • Princeton:

      • Hired two new library developers

      • Focus likely to be on digitized collections

      • Implementing ASpace; looking at metadata requirements

    • WGBH:

      • Working on Hydra DAMS with Indiana; trying to include as much of PCDM as they can; won't be storing files in Fedora, but using to store pointers

      • Open Vault moved away from Hydra/Fedora and instead looking at Blacklight with a file store on the backend.

        • It was complicated: lack of documentation/staff turnover; lots of processing required; easier to start over

      • Moving AMS to Hydra

  • What is the role of HAIG:

    • Explore issues that could help advance things locally (e.g. finding aid delivery)

    • Free form mode works pretty well, but good to keep monthly meetings to check in with people; good opportunity to identify partners

    • Sharing demos, wire frames, use cases with each other; could ask non archivists to talk to us

      • Examples?

        • Scholar at UC

        • Bentley

        • Ben Armintor – Columbia

    • Does IG work feed back into Power Steering/Steering at all? How does this serve as a vehicle for communicating things to the larger Hydra community? **Ben will check with Karen**

      • Are there other IG/WGs doing things we should respond to?

        • How is the DPIG related?

          • Overlap with Archivematica–>Hydra

    • Reporting back to hydra-community on what we're doing

  • Some areas of interest include:

    • ArchivesSpace and Hydra integration (Artefactual, Michigan, Cincinatti, Penn State, Chemical Heritage Foundation)

      • Duke, Penn State, Chemical Heritage in production

      • Cincinatti, Michigan possibly in production soon

      • Princeton taking first steps (focus on accessions and digital objects)

      • Tufts looking at it too

    • Archivematica and Hydra integration (Artefactual, Cincinatti, Michigan, Penn State)

    • Mapping METS to PCDM (Artefactual, Duke)

    • Supporting PREMIS in Hydra (Artefactual, Michigan)
