About:
The migration subMigration Sub-team is responsible for overseeing, revising, and documenting the ArchivesSpace importers and exporters used for migrating XML-formatted generally provides support for migrating data to ArchivesSpace from other systems and support for importing and exporting data such as EAD, EAC, MARCXML, etc. into and out CSV.
Work of the ArchivesSpace application. Members of this sub-team will be expected to test importers/exporters, modify them as needed, update data maps, and explore implementing additional import / export pathways such as EAD3. In 2015/16, the migration sub-team will also become responsible for supporting migration of Archon and Archivists' Toolkit data into ArchivesSpace. This work will involve assisting organizations that are migrating their AT or Archon data and indicating to ArchivesSpace developers how migration scripts might need to be revised.sub-team falls into three broad categories:
1) Assisting organizations with migrating data from Archivists Toolkit, Archon, and sometimes other legacy systems and from formatted data objects such as EAD, MARCXML, and CSV documents:
providing guidance on planning for data migration and possible data migration strategies
creating and maintaining migration-related documentation such as FAQs and screencasts.
identifying and reporting on issues with existing migration tools
modifying migration scripts (if expertise is available) or drafting feature requests for modifying scripts
2) Assisting with maintenance of importers and exporters for EAD, MARCXML, CSV, EAC by:
testing import / export functionality
reporting bugs or drafting feature requests in JIRA
updating import / export mapping documents as needed
exploring other potential import / export pathways (e.g. EAD3)
3) Serving as a resource to the ArchivesSpace community by:
responding to migration and import/export related questions on the user list
drafting new feature requests for new or improved import / export functionality
helping organizations troubleshoot migration and import/export issues.
Please note that the Migration Sub-team typically CANNOT perform database migrations on behalf of members and WILL NOT perform extensive data cleanup on behalf of members or rewrite migration scripts to accommodate institution-specific practices. For institutions seeking more in-depth assistance with your ArchivesSpace migration we recommend reviewing the migration services offered by ArchivesSpace Registered Service Providers
