When something in the list below is ready for review, there will be an email to hypatia-tech and we'll try to make it RED here.
UI Presentation
- AJAX for hypatia needed? A: only if we have time
- will autosave when you make edit changes, e.g. add an author, upload a file ...
- because Hypatia is rails 2, and Joe will be writing AJAX for the rails 3 hydra-head, this will require a little bit of work (either AJAX for hypatia, or upgrade hypatia to rails 3)
- How should multiple values for the same field display?
- MO: We've usually handled this by having it display on a separate line directly below the first value.
- How should personal names display?
- MO: Lastname, Firstname
- What if there is more than one Creator? Does it display correctly?
- MO: If there is more than one one creator they should both be in alphabetical order on separate lines. See example of http://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/9068354 where we have two creators of one set of papers
- Is the metadata about the person who is the object of the collection in the right place? The person(s) who is the creator of the collection? Where should a biography statement go?
- Should the HTML derivatives of FTK objects be for download, or a link to display them?
- MO: I can't think of why someone would want to download the HTML display images. As long as they are ledgible that should be good enough. If they are not ledgible because they are too small then we should allow download.
- Should there be real thumbnail images for the disk photos? A way to look at a larger image?
Data Model (Data in application)
- When should a non-collection object be a direct child of a collection object?
- Should/can the model be different from what the UI will display?
- items will not always belong to sets
- items could be children of more than one set
- sets can be children of other sets
- example:
- collection A has:
- set B
- item 1
- item 3 (also in set C)
- set C
- item 4
- item 3 (also in set B)
- set D
- set E
- item 5
- set E
- item 2 (not in a set)
- set B
- collection A has:
- Is there a reduced case of the tree for the Hypatia Oct 31 deadline that can simplify our discussion?
- Should/can the model be different from what the UI will display?
- Can an object be a direct child of more than one Collection? (assuming no at the present)
- Should we be dealing with any permissions issues?
- edit permissions for objects? (if so, time for some fixture users ...)
- editing of edit permissions in the UI?
Raw Data:
- what is the correct EAD for Gallagher? (there is one on sul-brick in the SHA directories)
- MO: Filename is U DGA.xml. In directory hull/Stephen Galagher
- leave out elements with no value (collection foxml, ead, ...)?
MO: if there is no value in an element I would call that out rather than leave blank. [data not supplied for this field]. This will at least highlight that we are not stupid and make the point that EAD fields are not used in the same way in all institutions.
Data Loading:
- ok to skip loading disk image files themselves (for user download) except for xanadu? I'm told they aren't for the public ...
- leave out elements with no value?
