...
James will contact Christine request a repository on GitHub within https://github.com/lyrasisarchivesspace
Find 3-4 sample MARC and EAD records which are wide-ranging for testing import and export features for the next meeting
...
We will just be using the sandbox ArchivesSpace installation for the resource record
James will ask about API access on the sandbox as well
Universal Export Record Testing
Want more than one possibility to be tested
Attach multiple dates, ranges, multiple extents
Want to ensure that various types of field values are tested
Testing Importing Records
Unreasonable to ask everyone to submit one?
Do we want just 2-3?
Someone had a repository of strange EADs
We to at least document that we don’t import certain elements
Should keep this scoped fairly reasonably
Kevin can volunteer for MARCXML records
Pulling together sample EAD records: Jared will look for UC Davis
Article: Double Shoehorn Article from Harvard
Analysis of what worked and what did not
Next Step
How are we going to check that the import/export behavior is what we expect it to be?
We need to be able to document and sustain this
We could try round-tripping records, or just have this as a task
Task: Determine what process do we need to use to test this
Goal for Next Time:
3. Dividing up elements to check
4. Check fields that can be easily checked
5. Isolating import fields that are more challenging to check
We don’t have a task for publishing the mappings
We need to determine how to publish these
Question for core committers group: How to synchronize this with the development reviews
Greg will bring this up during the next core committer group meeting
DACS import support
To the extent that new DACS fields are added, we will need to track the decisions of council
Reviewing metadata-related development tickets
Maggie and Lydia created a new label
Standing item: We will review tickets every call
Mechanism for feedback
Table this for the moment, while the mapping work becomes the highest priority
Administrative Point
Kevin will send around a Doodle Poll for a monthly meeting time
We can also just have a rotating, standing meeting
Meeting adjourned at 13:50 PDT/16:50 EDT
