Goals

Use this section to identify your sub-team’s overarching goals for the term. These may be restatements of your sub-team’s charge.

  • Ongoing review of import/export mappings and the evolving landscape of pertinent standards

  • Support user communities by responding to tickets and/or soliciting feedback

  • Special projects

Specific Tasks or Projects

Use this section to identify the specific tasks or projects your sub-team intends to work on this year. Consider organizing them into ongoing and discrete tasks, if appropriate.

Ongoing/Recurring Tasks

  • Continue working with Development Prioritization on tickets relating to metadata standards support – writing user stories, advising on prioritization of metadata tickets, etc.

Action items: Metadata Standards sub-team members will attend DevPri meetings as they are able, when tickets of relevance to the team will be discussed. They will contribute to discussions about the tickets and report back to Metadata Standards as part of monthly meetings.

In-Progress Projects Carried Over from Last Term

Out-of-Scope (Optional)

Identify any work areas of projects that you have determined to be out-of-scope of this year’s workplan. This could be because it falls beyond your sub-team’s charge, has a dependency that requires you to wait, or is beyond your sub-team’s capacity.

Maintenance Activities (Optional)

Use this space to identify any actions or considerations necessary to support the maintenance of your sub-team’s tasks or projects once they have been completed. Is there documentation that needs to be created? Do future sub-team members need particular permissions to complete certain work?

Themes (Optional)

This section is optional, but a space to identify any underlying themes that run throughout multiple tasks or projects. This can also be a space to identify how you intend to approach your work this term. This can also be helpful when revisiting the workplan at the end of term with an eye towards the sub-team’s retrospective, or at the beginning of next term.

  • Greater engagement with the ArchivesSpace user community

    • Do the activities that Metadata Standards undertakes make sense for the larger community? Can they relate to our work, or is it mainly for the benefit of advanced/high-resourced ArchivesSpace users?

  • Documentation of how ArchivesSpace deals with metadata that it uses or does not use in import/export

  • “Regularizing” our work so that things that are heavy lifts now can become standard ongoing work for future iterations of the Metadata Standards team

  • No labels
