To Do:
Start discussing questions that we want Peter Van Garderen of Archivematica to respond to on our October call.
1. Talking about the open source presentations
Jefferson, Karen and Trevor started scheduling these after setting up the activity charter. http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Open_Source_Presentation_Series
To kick these off, we have lined up having Peter Van Garderen of Archivematica present and participate on their approach to OSS in the time scheduled for our October call. We are working on lining up additiaonal talks from folks working on Islandora, Fedora, and the Foss4lib project. There was discussion of also having someone from Omeka come and talk about how they approach OSS development for work with digital collections.
In preperation for next months call, please start discussing questions that you would like Peter Van Garderen of Archivematica to respond to on our October call. One great question, or set of questions we started working out was around interoperability and moving in and out of a given system. Let’s flesh these questions out over the list.
2. Reviewing and soliciting additional feedback for the levels of digital preservation draft document
There were two great sets of questions in this discussion, largely focused on clarifying some of the ambiguity around two terms. One focused on identifying what we mean by “storage system.” There was consensus on the call to get this term to be further clarified in the level one box one box and for the need of a glossery that could wax a bit more sophisticated on what does and dosen’t count for this term. The second question was about what exactly the chart means by “transformitive acts” related to fixity checks. Clearly it’s not about reading files, but it is a bit ambiguious if this would count for a situation when a file is copied from one system to another.
3. More and more questions are finding their way up on the digital-preservation tag on Stack Libraries.
If you haven’t already, you should start following the questions, and start posting any digital preservation questions that occur to you. http://libraries.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/digital-preservation
