ICDL and IPRES accepted training (hybrid) sessions about ARKs

IIIF program still not fixed.

Code of conduct (see Community p.) : comments made on the draft version.  Identifies an email-list to report a concern about the ark process.  On the to-do-list : to set up a way to contact only one specific correspondant through a form.

Calls for papers, submission deadlines, upcoming meetings. Any news items we should blog about?
  • Code4lib  (Princeton, NJ) :  Donny Winston and John Kunze will do a 3-hour pre-conference ARK training workshop, which could form the basis of a generic presentation for other events.
  • "La contemporaine" (FR Library) has a broken ARKs problem after a technical update, which could form the basis of an educational feedback on the blog.

Update:

working group home page and sidebar cleanup

  • compress sidebar list of 3 years of meetings. Done.
  • revisit objectives, deliverables – please review draft changes
John Kunze 
  • Updates made to the presentations of 2021-2022 meeting reports and Working Group charter.
  • Will aim to finalize this at next month's meeting.

A blog post about La contemporaine (FR library). Maybe a combination with another institution.
Summary of past month requestsaurélien conraux Iconador (Louvre.edu & textImage) still unfulfilled-but probably OK.
Summary of the past month activitiesAll

code of conduct : posted. No announcement made (both ENG and FR)

Curator documentation : Still pending

Github Action: Brian: working on updating and consolidating curator documentation & creating github workflow for issue/project board integration ?

working Group charter (please review draft changes) ?

Update:

Communication on certain NAAN assignment process


Update:

In the coming weeks, if ARKA were to establish a Mastodon presence, is fosstodon.org a suitable server to start with? See email of Jan 18.

  • please comment by Jan 24
  • Done: @arks_org@fosstodon

    Social network communication : @arks_org@fosstodon.org is now a verified mastodon account

    Memento : for now, x2 manual posting on both T & M.

    • Automated syndication is not needed between tweets & toots
    • Double posting allows to reach whichever audience  at a small price.
    • Matching users between platforms might be difficult since aliases might differ.
    • Agreed to go ahead and replicate (to the extent possible) the twitter "following" lists on mastodon (eg, with debirdify). It's ok to begin posting both from twitter and mastodonfollowers on each platform : Twitter : 340 followers / Mastodon : 120.

    Update:

    Action items from last time

    •  John Kunze clarify and revise the checklist and policy docs to guide curators on use and encouragement of shoulders instead of NAANs; ask Romuald for feedback

      Please review Draft NAA(N) assignment policy
    • To do : review of the updates (especially the name assigning autorithy paragraphs : NAA & partitioning of shared NAANs, concepts 99152 & agents 99166). A shoulder request has to be validated manually and not through the form.
    • Aim to finalize by next month's meeting. Feedback is required.



    Discussion/Task:

    Review the Google form to ensure same terminology is used on the form as the curator form, e.g. Organization base URL should be Organization Resolver URL

    • Changes in the Google form would require changes in the processing script ==>N2T. 

    :

    User-submitted question about dump of all the individual NAA records available in n2t.net.

    "I am aware of the NAAN registry available at <https://n2t.net/e/pub/naan_registry.txt>, but I am wondering if there is any extended record that shows all shoulders registered for each NAA. This information is available on the page for each NAAN (e.g. <http://n2t.net/ark:/28722/>), but I cannot find a way to see this information for every NAA short of requesting each one sequentially. The reason I am asking is that I am interested in studying how organizations are using ARKs (especially namespaces, shoulders, and redirects) in practice."

    Maria

    The mentioned example only works with easyID and are a byproduct of the CDL process.

    The ARK alliance does not have a systematic list of all uses of shoulders by institutions, and since the system is decentralized by nature only individuals institutions could describe their actual uses

    Discussion:

    Should we close the two issues that have not had any activity in 6+ months? Issue 16 & 24

    Decision : 6 month old unanswered requests for additional information may be closed

    .


    Who is primary curator in the next few months? Need to update our home page.
