Notes
- Announcements
- David Wilcox mentioned a grant that's being applied for to IMLS. Currently working on a full proposal that would be a follow on grant to the migration grant from last year. Looking for institutions to work with (as a pilot). Contact David if interested. Goal is to proof out fedora 6 and build a bunch of documentation / training to create more of a path for migration for the community at large. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vbgn_OWChV1u6oYdzQ3-yT4Chwv0nmgc/view?usp=sharing
- Will grant consider Fedora 3 → OCFL (outside of Fedora)? Some might use the migration to get to OCFL w/ or w/o Fedora. Work will be valuable to anyone going to OCFL in general. Would be good to know if Fedora3 users who are interested in a more generic OCFL migration tool that's not Fedora specific. The migration tool does create generic OCFL - it be good to make sure the Fedora code that rebuilds the index from OCFL doesn't depend on .fcrepo directory. Feasibility? Feasible, but a slightly different start point - one with fedora data (.fcrepo) and one with out. Right now they are planning on .fcrepo being there, so it'd be a shift. There would have to be some assumptions made to read that OCFL data. Would be good to infer different characteristics from generic OCFL.
- A stand alone tool would be useful, as it might be really hard w/o input for Fedora to reason over data. Concern is if we load the generic OCFL data wrong, you can't change the interaction model. Maybe some sort of migration tool that looks through the data, that catches issues and asks users, but that could be tedious. Maybe build up a decision tree for their data, so user can have some input. Build some sort of reasoning over a corpus of OCFL data. Find a way to tell fedora how to do it's decision making over the users data.
- There is the migration tool that takes F3 → Generic OCFL. We could use this output to test out what issues Fedora 6 falls into when rebuilding from that OCFL to get a better sense of what the issues we might run into are.
- First combined Islandora 8 / Fedora camp next week at ASU (Feb 24 - 26).
