Announcements – new
  • New member Julien Raemy, based in Geneva, has a grant to create an ARK allocation service
  • New
  • NAAN Registry WG approved to administer the registry as well as develop policies for doing so



The NAAN Request form is one of the first contacts people have with ARKs and ARKsInTheOpen.org. With that in mind, before the meeting, please

The registry working group Github repo contains documentation on procedures for actually incorporating the data entered on this form into the registry. For EZID, Maria is generally filling out the form on behalf of the client. The Geneva approach will also be to centrally administer NAAN registration for several universities.




Good time for us to think about the ARK/AITO message, as next month there will be 3 presos on ARKs:

  1. RDA session on software ids, March 19 (3-mins on ARKs for software) (John Kunze): one slide
  2. ArchivesSpace webinar, March 4 at 11am pacific (John)
  3. CNI Panel, March 30, 4 speakers in one hour (Karen Hanson, Bess Missell, Tom Creighton, John)



Before the meeting, please review these stale top-level wiki pages, which seem to be in scope for Outreach, and consider what changes you would make:

  • Roadmap: John and Kurt will revise and share for feedback.
  • Resources and Value Statement: This doesn't seem stale, but does raise the question of which metrics we know and how we can track them. The audience might be internal to ARKs in the Open rather than external. Parts of the document describe ARKs rather than ARKs in the Open. Tracy will review.
  • Project Communications: John and Kurt will revise and share for feedback.
  • Events: Maintaining the events list would be the most challenging; others could be reviewed quarterly or biannually. In the IIIF community, events sponsored by IIIF are on their website, but third parties can enter events into a Google doc, then another person can validate them, and a script then publishes them on a website. Should we have a list of past events? Not on an events page, but perhaps elsewhere. If we don't host regular events, we can drop this page.

Volunteers needed: are you willing to make some revisions? Feel free to suggest anything, including retitling a page, deleting it, changing it's theme, etc. A page that served AITO during project infancy may not serve it well now.

We don't know how much traffic these pages get. John will look into it.




Volunteers still needed:




WG introspection: given recent cancellations, change meeting frequency? We'll change the frequency to monthly, on either the second or fourth Thursday of each month.

What is the state of ARK support built into digital asset management systems? There seem to be vendors doing this, but not the open source systems yet. Developing support within open source repositories could be a grant proposal.
