2019-2010 Work Plan Tasks and Goal
- Defining our level of commitment to various library and archives standards
Task | Notes | Timeline/Assignment | |
---|---|---|---|
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 Tier definitions | 1st tier: ArchivesSpace strives for an optimal support of standard. For structural standards, import and export. (NB This is not 2nd tier: ArchivesSpace strives for compliant support. For structural standards, export. | |
Determine what belongs in which tier | First 1st tier of compliance and documentation: EAD2002, MARC, and DACS Next 2nd tier: Dublin Core, EAD3, EAC-CPF (?), OAI-PMH to be re-evaluated once Agent module work is done), OAI-PMH | ||
