• 2011 recommendation: N/A
• Current recommendation: This is a term that can mean a variety of different things.  From my perspective, for example, it means "library". Not sure if we should change it.
  • Different institutions probably use the functionality differently. Maybe some configurable hover <abbr> text would be useful for institutions to define Repositories in the way they are using it. —TK

Collections

• 2011 recommendation: Resources
• Current recommendation: Keep
  • "Collections" seemed to be well understood by users in the usability testing.

Digital Objects

• 2011 recommendation: Digital Objects
• Current recommendation: Digital Items
  • If this is kept as a top-level item it would make sense to make it clear on the browse page that digital items are a very small subset of what can be found in the physical archives.
  • Also, digital items will need to be given higher visibility within the context of their collections.

Accessions

• 2011 recommendation: Accessions
• Current recommendation: (not sure users understand or care about accession records; does anyone have evidence one way or the other?) Agreed.  Most archives will spawn resource records if they want accessions made discoverable.

...

• 2011 recommendation: Subjects
• Current recommendation: 
  • (it is unclear whether users find subject browsing useful from the usability testing; more review and discussion may be required)

Names

• 2011 recommendation: Names
• Current recommendation: Keep
  • (it is unclear whether users find agent browsing useful from the usability testing; more review and discussion may be required)
    

Classifications

• 2011 recommendation: N/A
• Current recommendation: I'm still not sure what this even means, so not sure what to do with this.  Repository site map?
  • This seems to be functionality that different institutions can use in very different ways, similar to Repositories above.

Summary

• Recommendation: Administrative Info
• Summary of what? I dont think the Admin info (e.g., Descriptive Rules) is helpful for patrons.  Keeping collection identifier is a good idea.
