2019-2010 Work Plan Tasks and Goal

TaskNotesTimeline/Assignment

First tier of compliance and documentation: EAD2002, MARC, and DACS



Next tier: Dublin Core, EAD3, EAC-CPF (?), OAI-PMH

Questions/CommentsQ:

  • What does this mean in practice? E.g., 1st tier is import and export; 2nd tier only export, or we might just offer the mapping
  • EAC-CPF seems to be pretty closely bound to the RDF, and I'm uncertain as to how importing this could be readily supported without flattening the graph (which is possible, just a feature request, I would assume).
  • OAI-PMH, from what I could determine, builds heavily upon Dublin Core (http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html#dublincore), so this might be interchangeable with Dublin Core support
  • EAD3 and Dublin Core are just XML - perhaps XML-based standards constitute a higher tier of support than non-XML?



Support for Emerging Standards

Monitoring standards changes, and commenting on behalf of AS community as warranted, e.g. RiC



2. Maintaining published metadata mappings

...

TaskNotesTimeline/Assignment

List existing mappings

  • Accession CSV Import
  • Digital Object CSV Import
  • Digital Objects MODS Export
  • Digital Objects METS Export
  • Digital Objects DC Export
  • EAD 2002 Import
  • EAD 2002 Export
  • EAD3 Export
  • MARCXML Import (Q: Are resource, accession, agent imports mapped differently?)
  • MARCXML Export
  • OAI-PMH MODS
  • OAI-PMH DC
  • OAI-PMH DCTerms

Which mapping to update / who / how

1.       Getting some sample imports and exports in a workspace

2.       Set up some sort of process to document checks.

3.       Dividing up elements to check

4.       Check fields that can be easily checked

a.       We should be able to check a lot of the exports in sandbox.archivesspace.org

5.       Isolating import fields that are more challenging to check

a.       (I’m thinking some of the more long tail things, with <colspec> or odd <fontmatter> elements to check how that imports)

b.       I did not know that <ptrloc> was a thing, for example (https://www.loc.gov/ead/tglib/elements/ptrloc.html)

6.       Finding/creating records to test with long-tail elements


Ensuring that code changes impacting metadata mappings are communicated would be a great contribution
