Attendees:

• Ben Goldman
• Justin Simpson
• Chela, Sally, Don, NYU
• Wendy, Georgia Tech
• Mike, Max and Dallas from Bentley Historical Library

Minutes:

• SAA does not have any rooms available for the official conference location. They offered a Pop Up option but not sure this is the right format for where we are at.
• Disk Image User Stories (Ben) – 
  • Need to include what the best practices for events around images would be
  • Converting ingested DFXML to the metadata model in Hydra
  • What is the minimal amount of metadata to be useful?
  • NYU have the repository do as much work as possible – hands on work with forensics doesn't scale well. NYU not using BC, but wants to use the reporting engine as it matures.
    • File identification is a main use case for reporting – FTK good for this but FileMagick less so.
  • What do FTK reports look like? What do BC reports look like? ACTION ITEM: Share some examples. 
    • What are the overlap with the technical metadata requirements being defined by the MDWG?
  • You can ingest a disk image in Archivematica – some of the BC tools have been bundled into AM. Really well documented here: https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Digital_forensics_image_ingest
    • Not solved for AM: how do you get the image into a repository, and what metadata goes with it? 
• Hydra Metadata working group (Justin):
  • Hydra technical metadata application profile: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SZCpSIdlGfXgoYrAnW2eRKlIt6O-1ADIDDhmLrvxeLc/edit#heading=h.a8hurtypz8qi
    • Only working on what are the core requirements at this point
  • One meaningful way we can contribute now is to provide some samples of technical metadata related to disk images. 
• NYU announce Blacklight beta launch – https://specialcollections.library.nyu.edu/search
  • "Bridge" project – working on full scale redesign of speccoll discovery environment (both archival and bibliographic metadata) – but this is an initial start.
  • Not sure how this will intersect with ArchivesSpace at this point
  • Check back again on May 19!
  • Planning some user testing – component level discovery vs. collection level discovery
  • Trying to figure out how to be involved in Hydra community. 
• Bentley has done some interviews on archival discovery
  • better luck with the archivist interviews than the researcher interviews
  • Wondering what others think about making technical metadata discoverable to archivists somehow.
• ACTION ITEMS:
  • Work on user stories more!
  • Add some sample forensic reports to the wiki.
