Most folks are using spreadsheet data instead of XML to import; Some repositories are using EAD 3 for import (they’ve likely built their own system to do EAD 3 import), Repositories have built plugins to edit (not create) metadata; Based on the community feedback, what should we be doing more of/less of? Are there activities we should focus on? Are there existing workflows/projects that we could improve? Facilitate information sharing around imports/export tools, standards, new plugins, etc. Christine suggested the Awesome ArchivesSpace Github repository: GitHub - archivesspace/awesome-archivesspace Prioritize tickets based on the community survey results (less focus on MARC imports, more focus on spreadsheet importer, etc) Are there any new activities we should undertake (special projects, community forum presentations, Jira tickets, etc) Survey results and the EAD 4.0 implementation: challenges? opportunities? Most archives primarily work with EAD 2002 (import/export) - Work closely with Christine and Aspace team to make sure that we maintain backward compatibility with EAd 2002 for however long the transition period takes, but make sure we’re moving forward as EAD evolves. Library of Congress is developing EAD 3 import in order to migrate their records into Aspace. They are embarking on this project this Fall, possibly by the end of the calendar year there might be something for MS sub-team to take a look at (mapping, etc) Survey results and multilingual description: challenges? opportunities?

2-3 minutes	Action items	Jira Ticket: Review and Prioritize Jira tickets in next meeting related to the community survey results: Diane will work with Kate to identify Jira tickets in need of review.
