DC Project Priorities (aka non-developer dependent work)
| Project | Priority | Timeline | Links | Status | Status / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Section A, Boxes 20-50 | Medium | Ongoing | Section A - 2017 | In Progress | Boxes 20-25 to be launched Q1 2019 See notes from ingest/metadata/launch process meeting: https://3.basecamp.com/3615344/buckets/2109882/documents/852877626 |
| Migrate Behind the Veil | Medium | TBD | In progress | Collection is remediated and awaiting a meeting to discuss ingest. | |
| Make Documentation more Accessible | High | ?? | Not Started (from DCIT perspective) | Started this page (though it links to some olde docs that need updates) as a first step: 2. Workflow and General Documentation [click for more links] Digital Collections documentation is buried - lets make it easier to find. | |
| Migrate T2 Content - all collections currently in finding aids only | High | Ongoing | In Progress | Collections list:
| |
| Memory Project in DDR | High | CY18 Q3 & 4 | Not Started | Work on this project was postponed to Q1 and Q2 of 2019 per planning efforts in late 2018. See: Memory Project | |
| Finish Radio Haiti | High | CY18Q2 | In Progress | 2 (or more) batches of Radio Haiti ingested in 2018, as well as work on the grant to make the files more accessible via YouTube and IA. Final batches to be ingested in Q2 2019. Ingest scheduled for October 2018, May 2019 and June 2019 if need be. | |
| Apply Rights statements to legacy DCs | Medium | Ongoing | Tracking page | In Progress | Didn't make a lot of progress on this - prioritize in 2019? Dave Hansen in discussions w/ RL Curators Field experience student involved too |
| Collection level metadata | Medium | CY18 Q3 and Q4 | In Progress? | Maggie led a focus group of DC stakeholders in a discussion about needs for collection level browsing. Some of these require some development time, which is not allocated to DC as of early 2019. ACDC would like to see us do some user testing on browse features. | |
| MSI Data Model | High | CY18 Q1-2 | Stalled | Need to make progress on this in 2019 Testing and R/D Development in Jan 2018 Resume work after April software update, which may impact the data model. | |
| Discuss ingesting DPC digitization guides to DDR | |||||
| Roles and Groups | Medium | ? | In Progress | Group met in 2018 to review all the DDR groups. The requested modifications still need to be submitted. Will do in Q1 2019. Need to know:
Consult with upcoming DDR governance groups to be formed in Q2 (hopefully). How about we work on this and provide recommendations/best practices to ACDC and DP3 if applicable? | |
| ROAD goal? | |||||
| Participate in upcoming RLRS project to change patron requests | Details and timing TBD | ||||
| Launch Gedney Proof prints? |
Project Priorities for CY 19 and beyond
- Manage smaller level projects as they appear
- Migrate all the orphan projects
- All outstanding proposals
DDR Development and DevOps Priorities (should they become available)
| No. | Feature | Priority | Desired Time Range | Links | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expose FITS metadata in DDR | DDR-1506 Hopefully will be included in DDR small development projects | |||||
| DDR Small Development projects | TBD - March 2019? | |||||
| Plan sustainable future for Fugitive Sheets digital collection (and any other remaining "special interface" collections in T2). | Medium | CY18 Q3 or 4 | Non-DDR Digital Collections Platforms | Not Started | Discussions and planning, not implementation | |
| Plan for Full Text Search and CDM replacement | Medium | CY18 Q3 or Q4 | Non-DDR Digital Collections Platforms | Not Started | Discussions and planning, not implementation | |
| Manage Large DDR Ingests | High | Ongoing | Not Started | This is moved to 2019 AdViews will be a good test for large ingests. Unclear if this work will result in functional requirements. |
Development needs on deck for CY19 and beyond
- Implement user stories written to support born digital collections: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tblG_LWT53t_MUopONAxqKF6Kw2wkeDM_K7RjM6iwcs/edit?usp=sharing
- Support full text collections:
- OCR
- term-highlighting
- Export text easily
- Import corrected text easily
- support distance reading and text mining related work (may just rely on exporting text data sets).
- Turn off CONTENTdm
- Would love to see the day where everything we digitize is linked through the catalog and finding aids.
- Lots of technology and workflow implications.
- Aligns w/ MAG
- People should be able to understand what they find in the catalog AND of course be able to find digital collections. Thinking through what is digitized, digital, and electronic versions.
- Implement Altmetrics
- Re-Curate collections following ingest
- Change the data model of a collection
- Long Distant future....
- Enable Crowdsourcing (this requires policy / workflow planning as well as development work)
- Allow crowds to identify people
- submit corrections to metadata
- create and correct transcriptions → https://diyhistory.lib.uiowa.edu/
