Tiers of Support

I want to follow up on this item from last term: Get the tiers of support on GitHub and get that link to Christine for the Home - ArchivesSpace site

Is this the final version, at the top of this page: 2019-2020 Metadata Standards sub-team Work Plan?

Is there any documentation, like why something is in tier 1 versus tier 2? If we publish this, I suggest we include a bit more about how these tiers are decided.

I recall a decision that this go on GitHub. Where exactly?

Action items from last agenda: 2021-10-20 Metadata meeting notes | Action Items

Thank you to Elizabeth for reporting back on ANW-768: ANW-768: As a staff user, I would like the ability to add multiple <ref> tags to <indexentries>Ready for Implementation

<ref> elements are not currently repeatable in a single index note in AS.  It is repeatable in both EAD2002 and EAD3, but it needs to be nested within a <ptrgrp> wrapper when repeated.  I spoke to Mark Custer at Yale about this and he thinks we should support it in AS because the workaround requires repeating index entries (e.g. an indexentry with a ptrgrp and 5 refs becomes 5 index entries, all with the same name heading).

Addressing this ticket means: within the index, allow the reference and the reference text for each item within an index note to repeat.  Amending the EAD3 and EAD2002 import/export to create multiple references for each index item when <ptrgrp> is present within <indexentry>. 

Not sure on priority, but absolutely think this is something that needs to be supported since it’s supported in both EAD3 and EAD2002 and we know of people having to develop workarounds.

New/Ongoing ticket review

Check for new tickets. If there are no new tickets, we will move on.

ANW-943: Ability to export an Accession record as MARC recordAwaiting More Information

  • What would a spec look like in this case? A crosswalk between MARC and the data model for Accessions?

ANW-1350: Bibliography Note not exporting to MARCXMLClosed-Complete

  • Thoughts? I volunteer to test and submit a comment.

Brainstorm

An ambitious Work plan item is Recommend and provide feedback on a workflow that alerts the Metadata Sub-Team to relevant tickets as they are submitted and reviewed

I thought of that recently when this ticket was marked as complete: ANW-1174: MARC XML import shows linear feet as "1" regardless of actual extent in 300 $aClosed-Complete

I’d like to brainstorm (if we have time) on how to be alerted to and follow-up on code changes like the one above.

I set up a test of https://app.github-file-watcher.com but not sure I have it working.
