National Agenda

Cathy and Abbie (and others) have been tasked with drafting sections of the National Agenda strategy document, available at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=2014_National_Agenda_Outline. The content areas have been narrowed down to Electronic Records; Research Data; Web and Social Media; Motion Picture Film and Vide; and Digital Content Stored on Obsolete or Deteriorating Media. A section on Linear tape file systems has been moved tot he Infrastructure Working Group.

This draft is still a work in progress and any feedback, including suggestions for keeping the document on concise, is welcome. The document will be discussed at the Coordinating Committee meeting at the end of March.

Carolyn will send Abbie more on the Motion Picture content area, and notes that this section is more about refeormatting, storage, and standards.

Interviews for blog posts

Abbie is following up this week on some blog post ideas: Christie's scientist interview idea, Government team suggestions for interview about State Gov. initiative, and National Park Service interview.

Content teams

Science, Technology, Medicine, and Math Team The science team brainstormed a bit on possible interviewees for a Signal blog post featuring the work of the Content Working Group. The group is thinking of interviewing some of the stakeholders identified in the group's case studies, including a researcher using Web 2.0 information to study the effectiveness of health campaigns, a leading science blogger, and a manager of a math discussion forum.

Government Team The Government team is working on a case study on land records, including Maryland land records and geospacial records, with a focus on issues of cooperation between local and state people and groups.

Anne Harrison from FEDLINK is also working on a case study on trying to preserve history of legislation: hearings, publications, etc. A description of this content and needs will be drafted in case study format.

News Team Three case studies published last month (see http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Content_Working_Group#Quick_links_to_Case_Studies_in_Development) - no community comments received yet. Abbie will make the template available to other teams who are ready to publish more widely.

Content Team facilitators not on the call are encouraged to post updates to the listserv.
