Main Goals
support user communities, especially those without back end access or deep technical expertise
track changes in related standards and ensure those changes are reflected in ArchivesSpace mappings
support developers of ArchivesSpace on metadata issues, particularly through Jira ticket review
continue to develop pro-active processes to track code changes that affect metadata mappings
Themes
Theme 1: More proactive before-the-fact review than reactive catch-up when relevant mappings are touched by Devs.
Theme 2: Decisive decision making on what is and is not supported by ArchivesSpace import mappings ; pulling behaviors deemed out of scope out of the mappings ; being explicit that these behaviors are not in scope.
Theme 3: Solicit direct community feedback on some tickets relevant to Metadata Standards, but with special attention the balance of not supporting edge cases weighed against the realities of smaller institutions with few resources and options.
Specific Tasks
- Ongoing ticket review as needed
- Recommend and provide feedback on a workflow that alerts the Metadata Sub-Team to relevant tickets as they are submitted and reviewed
- Retroactive review of the MARC importer to pull unsupported behavior Elizabeth Roke as lead, with input from group
- An extent review for the MARC importer concerning particular tickets (note that these tickets are fluid and still changing status at this time)
