Agenda

  1. Call for agenda items
  2. Introductions/Roll Call – see above
  3. Next Meeting
    1. Date: March 17, 4 pm EST
    2. Moderator: Adam by silent acquiescence
    3. Notetaker: Mark Custer, volunteer
  4. Mission and Scope: "The Hydra Archivists Working Group will bring together interested parties to discuss, gather, and generate a set of use cases for integration of Hydra and ArchivesSpace to inform the work that will be done at LDCX^4 and beyond"
    1. should we amend/edit the  Samvera Archivists Interest Group page to reflect any changes?
      1. Why limited to use cases? We're thinking higher level right now, not as much focused on technical details. 
      2. What was the context for initiating this discussion at HydraConnect? Very general – trying to articulate needs among Hydra partners.
      3. Not just integration with ASpace but also digital forensics, best practices, RDF – getting Hydra more "archivally aware"
      4. Will make updates to HAWG page to reflect broader scope – Nathan
      5. Desires:
        1. Adam S – developer – looking at collaborating with developers to get some action done on ASpace and Hydra integration
        2. Mark C – ASpace – link up archival description system with digital repository – to the degree possible, broadening beyond ASpace
        3. Leah – not just ASpace 
        4. John Rees – Fedora perspective, integrating with non-Aspace systems
        5. Ben – ASpace integration, EAD delivery, digital forensics
        6. Nathan, Cincinatti – ASpace integration, but not just EAD, also EAC – tools into Hydra for file migration – integration with digital archival objects
        7. Adam W – integrate archival description with Hydra – he's done it in their Hydra head
        8. Linda – project manager on current self-deposit repository (non-archives) – wants to see what others are doing
        9. Wendy – haven't formally committed to Hydra – anticipating a move in this direction
        10. Paul – digital forensics, partner in Hydrameda
        11. Benn – archival description, ASpace
        12. Laney – same as above, special emphasis on born-digital
        13. Glynn – born-digital, not just forensics though, lots of other metadata sources – db, csv – also working on ontologies
  5. Identify goals to achieve prior to LibDevConX 2014 (April 21-25)
    1. suggestions from the floor
    2. actionable items: what to we want to have ready by April 21st
    3. timeline: how should we try to accomplish this between now and then
      1. Premature to start developing action items for developers – start working up use cases to inform developers of the kinds of things we want to do, and the questions we have. 
      2. How do we tackle drafting the use cases?
        1. Digital preservation needs – file formats, forensic images
        2. Archival description needs
      3. Each institution will come up with three use cases each 
        1. Guidelines for the use cases. Persona vs functional requirements. Articulate them in the same manner? YES
        2. Look for priority items
        3. Can we do this in a place where everyone can collaborate/cross-inform the development of use cases?
      4. Adam will volunteer to supply the template use case/user story we can all work from
      5. Have some solid, drafted use cases by the next meeting
      6. Post to the HAWG wiki – Nathan will format the wiki for this
        1. Try to do by COB 3/12.
