Integrations underway |
RAC is working with Artefactual on this. They are almost done with automatic creation of DIPs based off of a CSV with digital object filenames and AS ref_id. This works best for legacy digitized materials. In the future, they are also interested in building out the AS rights module to make it more in line with PREMIS rights. Bentley is also working with Artefactual on this. The key piece here is the development of an Appraisal and Arrangement tab within Archivematica that will, among other things, allow archivists to link transfer content to specific ArchivesSpace resources.
Description, timeline, issues, etc.
The Hydra Archivists Interest Group has explored this, and created Hydra ArchivesSpace Integration Features. Bentley is also working on this. Once AIPs are created in Archivematica and sent to DSpace, the handle will be automatically added to the appropriate digital object in AS. Tulane is also working on this. The idea is to bring EAD into Islandora to display finding aids. AS would be used to manage accessions and resources. Archivists would export EAD from AS and batch ingest it into Islandora via the API.
This was discussed at the Northeast Aeon Users' Group in June and SAA in August. At the Users' Group folks pointed to the Container Management plug-in as a possible place for integration. At SAA, a group, headed by Melissa Wisner, would reach out to Aeon and AS users and get functional requirements drafted. However, it was later decided that Marilyn Rackley at Atlas Systems would do a first pass. She outlined three options:
RAC and Bentley are Aeon users now, so they're interested. According to this thread, so are Yale, CalTech, Illinois, Miami, Harvard and Maryland. This also raises the question of how AS might provide request services to member organizations that do not use Aeon.
In this integration, AS would integrate with a national database of archival authority records that IATH and NARA are funded to stand up. BYU is looking into building out the agents module that's currently available to prepare for integration with the SNAC database using finding aids and MARC records. This work is still in process and BYU and ArchivesSpace are building out specifications. AS still needs to be fully compliant with EAC and MARC. Ideally, AS could be used to read and write authorities to this database, but also allow researchers to browse relationships among authorities.
This is a grant request spearheaded by Educopia, AS and BitCurator. It will work with about a dozen partner institutions to flesh out different types of workflows among the three products (and the many combinations between them), document them, and come up with scripts to implement them. Executive summary was finished last week.
Dartmouth is working on a local integration with their records management software. | ||

Action items
- BradleyW (Unlicensed) will report back to the sub-team on Marilyn Rackley's reply regarding the third option for ArchivesSpace and Aeon integration.
- Max Eckard will send out a scheduling poll for the last week in October and will send around a recurring meeting invite for the rest of our calls.
- Others coming soon!
