November 2, 2015

Attendees:

  • Ben G., Penn State
  • Eira, Cincinatti

Minutes:

  • Eira and I caught up

Proposed Agenda (didn't actually discuss):

Reminder: Some IG requirements from Hydra:
  • At least three organizations must be represented in an interest group.
  • Interest groups should be active, but may still exist when all of the participants are inactive.


Check-in Takeaways
  • 7 responses
  • All but one archivists/librarians - so we’re not a developer centered IG, no surprise
  • The scheduled monthly  call mostly works — but I am open to different times if enough people feel that’s justified.
  • Still an interest in connecting our discussion to developers in order to facilitate development, largely through documentation
  • Two responses mentioned interest in exploring Rights metadata/modeling
  • In the spirit of a true interest group, focus less on deliverables and more on exploration (topics, guest speakers, demos, etc.)
  • (Only) one respondent said Ben Goldman rulz

 

Ok, but back to Deliverables/Activities:
  • Would like to move forward on diagramming DACS (proposed at SAA HAIG workshop). 
    • Maureen Callahan from Yale interested in this; Kayla from UMich has also expressed interest
    • Anyone else?

 

Brainstorming Future topics (maybe organize these for the whole Hydra community, too?):
  • Suggestion from Justin, Artifactual: asking Ben Armintor to demo/discuss how he has implemented a Fedora-based PCDM model with Archivematica AIPS
  • Having UMich/Artefactual demo processing tab?
  • Sam at Educopia/BitCurator Consortium is documenting archival workflows at many institutions
