Goals and deliverables
- Whitman perspective
- Metadata remediation
- Bring use of fields and field names into conformance with new collections standard before moving into the new system
- In process now and almost complete
- Complete in the sense of having identified which fields to remediate - changes have not yet been implemented
- Working in spreadsheets
- Use IMI remediation to make changes in Islandora 7
- Planning on re-ingesting spreadsheets before migration
- Got rid of over 100 fields that were no longer needed
- Renamed fields to be clearer
- Only added a couple new fields
- In process now and almost complete
- Making sure all dates, names, etc. are standardized
- Looking at about a month to complete
- Bring use of fields and field names into conformance with new collections standard before moving into the new system
- Metadata mapping
- All fields have a logical equivalent in RDF
- Any fields that still need to be removed could be removed during the mapping
- Mapping is about 90% done
- Newspapers
- Need to understand which fields will be required in a paged content model that might not already exist
- Sort by date
- Working on TWIG templates
- Translates flat CSV
- Metadata remediation
- Deliverables needed
- Alan: Would like to see spreadsheets detailing metadata to go into new system
Requirements, blockers, outstanding questions
- Blockers
- Repeating metadata fields are a problem in RDF
- Some of this is being helped by remediation work
- Staging server need to be updated
- This is a potential blocker if things go poorly
- Repeating metadata fields are a problem in RDF
- Outstanding questions
- Content models
- Some photographs are not in the content model Whitman would like
- Basic vs. large image
- Content models are tied to file formats and viewers
- We can bring over the original files during the migration, create derivatives as appropriate, and associate the right viewer
- JPG2000
- Not a good native format for Windows machines
- JP2s are not a good archival format, kind of a black box
- TIFFs and JPGs are better for downloads as well
- Whitman has original TIFFs, which can be supplied along with a spreadsheet connecting them to PIDs
- Some photographs are not in the content model Whitman would like
- Entities
- Adding URI-based entities in metadata would be useful to add sooner rather than later
- Need to work out fields where entities would be useful
- Need to schedule another meeting on entities
- Content models
