AS 3.0

  • Christine Di Bella

  • What can this team do in preparation for AS 3.0 or in documentation work once it is released?

Some resources

Agents test server: http://aspace-anw-429.lyrtech.org/staff/

Original metadata maps related to Agents release:
EAC-CPF: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14LNkFb3KF89qTtU1FpnkYRCoPUu7E2NoHc9wKwfpT-o/edit?usp=sharing

MARCXML authority records: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gHxjB0A4mrX82--SLIKA4pAck7hILNEKt3Idc9SOMDg/edit?usp=sharing

For updates related to import/export/metadata maps in general:

Look for the release milestone and issues with the labels

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A"import+%2F+export"+

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Aupdate_import%2Fexport_maps+

We will be putting out a smaller release prior to agents in November (tentatively numbered 2.8.1). There are a few relevant pull requests for metadata.

Notes

  • This Sub-team shall continue to meet monthly for now

  • Reviewing the Work Plan

    • Looking at the metadata standards list

    • Where we are committed to maintaining mappings

    • That lives in last year’s workplan, should this be moved?

    • This addresses the level of support for ArchivesSpace for Import/Export

    • Tiers of Support

      • Standards in first tier: EAD2002, DACS

      • Second Tier: Dublin Core, EAC-CPF, OAI

    • Difference between optimal and compliant support?

      • From last year, the first tier would be that we go as far as possible with near-optimal support

      • For MARC this is impossible, as it is complex and doesn’t map to the ASpace data model

      • Objective is to provide a mechanism for getting standards-compliant records out of the system

    • What comes out of ArchivesSpace will be valid, but there might still need to be some transformation to account for additional data elements

  • Tickets and Enhancement Requests

    • This sub-team guides this on behalf of the community

    • Christine DiBella is aware of this

    • The Sub-Group took this upon themselves

  • Regarding the list of existing mappings

    • Does anything need to be moved?

    • Does anything need to be added?

    • EAC-CPF work: Kevin notes that this requires some additional updates regarding the encoding and support for agents

    • Additional Mappings

      • Elizabeth is aware that Schema.org and other mappings were added to the code base, but this has not been documented for the public

  • Where do we find these mappings published on the WWW?

    • There isn’t an explicit mapping for some of these

    • In ArchivesSpace itself, it was implemented by Mark Custer

    • Christine will be looking to identify this

    • Elizabeth will add this to the list

  • Moving EAC-CPF up a tier?

    • We’re not finished with EAD and MARC yet

  • Have we done a standard survey to see what users are getting in exports and imports? This might be an interesting step to take

    • There was data from the EAS survey, and Dallas is aware of those who have access to the data

    • Not many in the community were using EAC-CPF, but there were definitely interested parties

  • Placement of the documentation

  • ArchivesSpace 3.0

    • Timeline and where this sub-team can assist with supporting the release

    • There is going to be a minor release before 3.0 addressing Agent exports
