COLD presentation recap

Steve

  • Digital archives pilot presented to COLD meeting on September 29th.

    • Steve addressed methods and results:

      • Brief history of DAWG and MWG work

      • Pilot structure and participation: Six campuses, 6,000+ records

      • Benefits: Develop once to benefit all, pooled funds/lowered costs, modular system, NDSA level 2 preservation, support

      • Development needs: Reports/analytics, roles, refine metadata, advanced search, child records, implement exhibits, improve viewers

    • David addressed challenges, constraints, and decisions:

      • Increased CO costs (larger files); more diverse content (campus metadata participation); longer migration

      • Campus customizations; limited CO budget

      • Migrate pulled DSpace content; Campus participation (esp. committed DAMS); More accurate cost projections

    • Interest in the overall project was good, and paved way for immediate priorities.
