Return to NDSA:Content Registry Action Team
The objective of this team is to "Develop or contribute to a registry of content already preserved by NDSA members."
Below is a outline format of how we might do this. Your comments and/or changes are practically begged for, as this is meant as a starting point and not my (Daniel's) effort at dictatorship.
- Develop a list of existing digitization/preservation registry projects and/or group hosting sites. Examples of such sites include: GPO Federal Digitization Registry, Archive-It, US Newspaper Digital projects, MetaArchive Cooperative conspectus data, NDIIPP Partner Collections, and LOCKSS publishers and titles list. I'm sure there are a number of other such lists and I hope we'll discover them together.Comment from Arlene - Is it just me, or are other people having trouble getting the Recollection tool to work properly? Arlene, does the recollection view work better for you on the recollection site?
- Come up with a definition of what counts as "preserved" - On a server? TRAC certified? Self-reporting? Or? Comment from Arlene - Maybe the best approach to this is looking for definitions used by the registries we review?
- Map the current list of NDSA members to the registries/group hosting sites we find.
- If any existing resource stands out as already listing content from NDSA members, focus efforts on posting to that registry, if feasible. OR
- Review the various registries and list out the best features and/or project metadata, then investigate options for creating our own registry.
- Enter the publicly available data we have from NDSA preservation efforts into a registry established by 4 or 4a above.
- Once data entry is complete, invite NDSA members to examine their listings and add projects we've missed.
Each of the steps above involve other steps, but that is the broad outline. Does it make sense? if not, what does?
These steps look good to me, Daniel! --Arlene
