Review the error messages for how helpful they are and give suggestions for improvement

add to pivotal tracker
check to make sure the issue is not already in PT (no dupes please)
tag the ticket (import/export, plus format - MARCXML, etc)
flag the priority (major bug, fringe case)
attach example files (EAD, MARC, etc.)
ok to submit each issue individually or group them together (though probably better to submit them as you encounter rather than grouping and saving ‘til later)

MARCXML - Rachel
Digital Objects - Noah
EAD - Michael
EAC - Can Chris P do?
Accessions - nobody yet - Michael will check with Harvard Archivists for availability
Cross over if you have the time and interest, or think you might have unique records

Chris F. has done lots of work recently on EAD, so we should see improvement there
The MarcXML subjects/agents are mostly worked out, so testing the straight MarcXML is more important
Chris F. was interested in MarcXML examples - can Rachel provide?
Testing can begin any time, and we agreed (I think!) to try for a good round of testing by the end of summer.

Notes from 7/31 concall

Accession XML import

reuse /extend schema already in AS

- can subgroup do this?

(probably no xml export)

Accession export could be managed through a report (CSV)

EAD 2002

Need to import compliant ead as fully as possible

- ead2002 valid

- AS compliant are largely DACs compliant

come out schema-valid, and re-import

- may be some differences (no true round-tripping)

EAD3 - 6 months dev.

- create the ead3 data maps

- in real-life, not alot of ead3 imported except those exported

EAC

- test import and export

Digital Objects

- lots of different formats

- no mets or dublin core export

-- no events, rights

Immediate priorities

EAD, EAC

Documentation:

Is excel the best way to show maps? Yes.

- in the build there is doc that shows all the api names

- ead to sql mapping is sufficient

Resources:

we should switch resources to concentrate on EAD

Tracer

- AT migration tracer repository in test site

- - has EAD instances that should be comprehensive

- - also accessioning and digital objects

-- (no EAC)
