Batch Upload Work
  • Tom - handed primary faciltator duties to Julie Allinson - punting a draft of a charter - Doodle poll and then make it happen
    • WGBH talking to us about their use of Batch ingest -
    • Carrick is on the Batch work for Hyrax -
  • Hyrax Batch Import-Export WG
    • May want to have MBK jump in - better understanding of use cases and state of the art
    • Could be about 4 versions of the State of the Art
Ā Ā Metadata and Media WorktypeĀ 

Ā Becasue of AV type that Avalon cares about - Indiana and NU worked on AV worktype for Hyrax. Get worktype tied to player. IIIF Manifest generation. Metadata connected.

Dealing with multipart fields. Store all of the multivalued/ multipart fields as a JSON blob in one statement. Other thing with the worktype - our descriptive metadata isn't tied to media. Does a betteer job than generic metadata.

Reviewing generic worktype - push some of our opinion of metadata into Hyrax core via Generic worktype.

Happening in Metadata IG sponsoring a session for those interested - hash out what's there, what should be there. Descriptive for generic work. Offering use cases. Some of what we like in media we're seeing fi we can push to Generic.


"Owner" question from LaRita

Part of the Permission and Analysis WG - PAWG. Question of whether "owner" role currently in Hyrax - what is an owner? What's special about that role? Permissions - list of actiosn assigned to roles - make sure list of actions is complete per role. Discussion was all about - are we covering what people think of when they think of an owner.

Different perspectives from people with different backgrounds. Conclusion: We do cover everything in the Matrix of actions. Everything can be configured if we do a configurable permissions module.

Whomever creates a work is an Owner - an immutable role. PAWG is leaning toward a work should have a primary contact. A descriptive field for Primary contact. Who is the creator. Those are just descriptive fields.


IIIF Presentation 3.0 support in Hyrax (and allowing configurable viewers)

Our ongoing work on AVALON 7 has been to get IIIF 3.0 support in our Hyrax app. Play AV w/ structure within a file. Rolling things back to Hyrax core. Would like Tom's feedback - 2.1 and 3 are here and coming. Don't want it internal to Avalon for too long. Making IIIF viewer configurable (assumed Universal Viewer right now) - Hyrax app content negotiation - presentation 2 and 3 manifests.

Tom - while spec is still in draft - look at what's in our code - prototype - analysis in Hyrax to make it easier to maintain on our end. Get IIIF 3 support while spec is still in draft. Treat as a prototype - simple actions taken on application side. If we have something we can demo now - we should start now on that. Doing work on IIF stuff up front, we have a workshop planned for Samvera Connect about demoing how to enable IIIF video and rich video playback in any Hyrax app.

AI: Write a straightforward story for Hyrax about how to implement IIIF in Hyrax.


First meeting of the Hyrax working group

Tom - group of people most directly connected to Hyrax Dev UG

Started planning the print likely to start on July 9 - SVT and TJ will ensure that works for everyone

Have a project set up in Hyrax https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/projects/5

Populating backlog - Jessica Hilt, SVT and TJ will get the backlog populated and groomed. JH will facilitate. SVT as PO and TJ as TL. Chris Diaz as testing/ QA facilitator. Have a good team. Plan is to run those sprints on 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.

Some fudging in practice - but idea is to give people the chance to push back on local work so they can focus on work.

Priorities: Closing bugs from 2.1 testing, finishing up Analytics work - loose priorities Steve has pulled from Roadmap that are going into backlog.

Discussion among Metadata-ists - need and interest for a committed point person for a Metadata librarian - Expect some discussion on that topic

Review time - interest among tech call to keep up backlog review -


PR and Hyrax

To date - focused on HyKu as key outcome - More concrete working with AMS, Avalon - basic apps built from Hyrax with minor customizations and feature adds.

Interest in shipping Hyku from various parties - but let's talk about products about what exists or in the works - demo'ing those as people work toward delivering real things. Frontloading that conversation about finished applications at the forefront and let Hyrax fall into the background a bit.

Hyku and Hyrax - shift to talking about Hyrax as various applications it serves as a platform.

Tenejo - as basic Hyrax DAMS - reason we've been able to do this - coordinated effort to support all of these things, making it possible to complete these finished applications. That's deployable - service providers can roll out.

Talk about how community work is resulting in finished products thata re genuinely ready to go.
