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
develop processes to track code changes that affect metadata mappings and automatically update documentation
Specific tasks:
- Recommend and provide feedback on a workflow that alerts the Metadata Sub-Team to relevant tickets as they are submitted and reviewed (Goal: More proactive before-the-fact review than reactive catch-up when relevant mappings are touched by Devs)
- An extent review for the MARC importer concerning two particular tickets

- Address the remaining issues from last term (2021-06-08 minutes)
- Ongoing ticket review as needed
- Begin review process for the EAD 2002 importer. Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jU6MYF7UI7a-UKdd5XhYCV6W1UyrMMCzYDFlgb8iNW8/edit#gid=1669916495 Code: https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/backend/app/converters/ead_converter.rb
Note: There is no EAD3 importer at this time.
Goals and Themes
More proactive before-the-fact review than reactive catch-up when relevant mappings are touched by Devs.
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.
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.
Not doing:
- Determine if new mapping documentation is needed for EAC-CPF
