DAMS Update

Dave

  • Brief overview of the upcoming DAMS work/timeline

    • Dave is working on a report for COLD and will provide them with an update at their February meeting

    • Work is expected to move forward on the DAMS, either additional fact finding if requested by COLD or on design/implementation of Hyrax

Potential Upcoming Projects

All

  • Priority #1: Demo/Proof of Concept of Hyrax for COLD

    • Show an example of systemwide shared DAMS using sample collections from a few campuses (LA, Northridge, SB, Channel Islands, others)

    • If other campuses participate have a space for them to drop their digital objects and metadata; DAWG members will then work to get this content into the Hyrax instance

    • Use Hyrax functionality of “nested collections” to show an example of how content at multiple campuses can be integrated and displayed together (by topic, format, etc); similar to a digital exhibit of sorts

    • Use a Hyrax test instance set-up at the CO (ready sometime in March possibly)

    • For COLD, point to the benefits of Hyrax:

      • Design is under CSU control, not the vendor

      • Annual costs not at the discretion of a vendor

      • System can evolve over time as needed to limit platform changes/additional migrations

      • Can support harvesting for campuses using their own DAMS

      • How a systemwide DAMS can support instruction and lead to student success

  • Collaborative work with MWG on DAMS metadata schema/approach

    • Work not slated to begin yet

  • DSpace collection analysis (e.g., extent, format types, metadata) for DAMS seed collections

    • Will address when/if needed

  • DAMS documentation/testing

    • Will address closer to system design/implementation
