Agenda
Newspaper metadata questionsTopic Wrap-up and next steps
Notes
- Newspaper metadata remediation
- Changing descriptive metadata within fields
- Changing field names
- Want newspaper fields to align with fields used in other collections
- Which fields are required for newspaper display?
- Whitman currently has 5 date fields - can we eliminate some of these?
- Do we need Date Issued and Publication Date?
- BD using Date Created or Date Issued to drive sorting - we would need to use one of those
- We could probably configure a different field for this sorting
- BD using Date Created or Date Issued to drive sorting - we would need to use one of those
- Do we need Date Issued and Publication Date?
- Whitman currently has 5 date fields - can we eliminate some of these?
- Which remediation tasks could be accomplished during migration vs. working on them in Islandora 7 before migration
- Whitman will put together a list of desired changes
- Most changes are pretty straightforward
- Google Sheets is a good option for doing this work
- The Whitman team will make a list of desired changes so we can evaluate which ones could be accomplished programatically
- Changes could be done programatically, through a spreadsheet, or done in Islandora 7 ahead of time
- Can Whitman display different fields in different collections?
- This can be accomplished using Views, which is highly configurable
- Born Digital Object View Configurations
- Sample newspaper issues and pages in Islandora 8 theme
- Can Whitman see these before finalizing metadata decisions?
- Currently have "Page 1, Page 2, etc." titles for pages. Can change these but it depends on what shows up in the interface
- We can create a few samples to review in the theme
- Can Whitman see these before finalizing metadata decisions?
- Newspaper derivatives
- What gets stored and where?
- Derivatives are different in Islandora 8
- Derivatives are media entities
- Objects are more like collections, derivatives are associated in a discernible way
- In Drupal terms media can be shared between nodes but we don't do that
- Derivatives are different in Islandora 8
- Whitman would like to reduce storage costs
- Can we eliminate some derivatives? Use lower resolutions?
- IIIF viewer does some derivative creation and caching on the fly
- More recent born digital newspapers are likely already smaller files (e.g. JPGs)
- Scanned pages are TIFFs and tend to be much larger
- Are there recommendations to consider here?
- Can we eliminate some derivatives? Use lower resolutions?
- What gets stored and where?
- Newspaper ingest
- What will ingest look like going forward?
- Newspaper search
- Does search hit issues or pages?
- Currently configured to show issues rather than pages
- Solr can be configured to display things differently
- Does search hit issues or pages?
- Alan has be looking at Islandora Workbench
- Very promising as an import option
- Can use Google spreadsheets
