Hyrax Metadata Ordering Working Group

Scope & Objectives

This group will analyze and compare the solutions for ordering metadata fields in Hyrax offered on the Samvera Tech Google Group thread (see Resources). Commonalities, benefits, and challenges will be noted for each option and a determination will be made whether to incorporate a solution into the codebase for Hyrax or offer recommendations as part of Hyrax documentation.

Deliverables and Timeframe

  • Analyze offered solutions to metadata ordering, identifying commonalities

  • Acquire further information on the offered solutions if necessary

  • Provide a comparison of the challenges and benefits of different methods being used to establish metadata ordering

  • Make recommendation for incorporating solution into Hyrax codebase

This work should take no longer than 2 months from the first working group meeting.

Sunset milestone: The work of this group will be completed by June 30, 2018 (by Samvera Virtual Connect).
