Notes

Welcome all new members!

During this meeting, the Working Group:

Discussed challenges of working with content creators (aiming to come up with the top 5-10):

• how to communicate standards to creators

• drawing lines around what an organization is willing to accept from creators

• initiating contact with creators

• providing guidance to content creators on file naming, metadata

• communicating long-term value of content to creators (esp. for news, performance art)

• intersections with creators of citizen-generated content (people making videos/taking pictures of events in Ferguson, Missouri, for example)

• more?

Discussed ways we can better understand and provide support for working with creators:

• Plan presentations on models for communicating with creators

• Compile a list of available/shareable guidance for working with creators
  • http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/uarchives/transfer/student-organizations (click the link in the right side box "Get started by completing this form!").
  • more?

• Conduct more Content Matters interviews with creators and other stakeholders around valuable at-risk content

• Continue to develop content case studies to identify stakeholders and challenges to specific kinds of content

Also discussed the possibility of hosting a presentation with the Standards WG on the Council of State Archivists PERTTS portal (Program For Electronic Records Training, Tools, and Standards; http://rc.statearchivists.org/PERTTS/Default.aspx )
