Controlled Vocabs Decision Tree Meeting 2020-03-31

Notetaker: Julie Hardesty

Attendees: Julie, Erik, Gretchen, Rebecca

Agenda/Notes:

Controlled Vocabularies - Use Cases
- Additional fields or vocabulary sources?
  - IR-specific fields for department, unit, categories like this - would be locally-defined for common use specific to an institution or consortia; need to mention this in Decision Tree document
- Check MODS/RDF field names and update General Concept column
  - not as useful for general names of fields
- Might want to further separate Hyrax/Hyku info into separate tab to split up common fields from fields specific to Hyrax/Hyku and how they are used there
Controlled Vocabulary (CV) Decision Tree
- Sources for CVs
  - needs to involve strategies for finding CVs which also needs to include evaluating what you find (maybe Evaluation is sub-part)
- Decision Tree questions
- Evaluation tips
- Everyone consider a field that you would use a CV and see what questions you would ask yourself - edit Decision Tree questions section to include those for next meeting
Hyrax enhancements
- contemplate this for next meeting
- IR use cases - have a strong group working on Hyku now; limitation that CVs have to be assigned across all tenants of an installation
