- AH: ‘upload set’ is new name for what was previously known as ‘batch load’; more batch functionality in the works
- - The ‘upload set’ form is a one-time thing during ingest, right now only title and external id are batch; can show extras
- - On public display, will be working to eliminate empty spaces for incomplete metadata when item is shown

- Digital Collections Team met twice with Communications & Development to brainstorm a short-list of naming possibilities. ChemVault was our original first choice, but it was under trademark.
- Finalists: SciVault; Digital Arcana in Science and History (DASH), or Hydrogen/Hydragen. Also possible to not have a branding name and just go with CHF Digital Collections.
- Most people could get behind SciVault or Hydrogen/Hydragen. SciVault is good for branding, but might get misunderstood when spoken and vault might sound too severe. Hydrogen would get too many hits and be tough to find, but Hydragen might be too much of an "inside joke" since users don't know the collection is built on Hydra. For either, we could add a tag-line regarding the history of science.
- DASH was liked because it had both Science and History in the title, but DASH as an acronym wasn't liked. Searches for DASH Collection yield the Kardashians' Collection (also called Dash!) We agreed that we'd be open to another acronym if anyone has one!
- While some preferred its simplicity, CHF Digital Collections might be problematic if the name CHF changes in the future. Might also be less inviting to outsiders who might deposit with us in the IFR.
- Agreed to revisit conversation later. MD will also report back on voting for the name within the Hydra community at Hydra Connect conference next month.
Rights statements
- HK circulated current R&R procedure and agreement prior to meeting. Should be discussed in more detail later.
- Creative Commons http://creativecommons.org/ : Standard way to license works so that rights are human-readable and machine-readable, with the legalese behind to back it. This is built into Hydra, along with All Rights Reserved and Public Domain.
- New task-force between Europeana and DPLA, in consultation with Creative Commons, recommending new guidelines. White paper still in draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x10JsIfi8Y74pgJJEAqMtyO5iYp0p6DO5DrOZK-5umY/edit#heading=h.c2yvhrd7pznp Highlights: Aggregation tool found over 86,000 rights statements

- in use across collections and they tried to distill it down to 11 options (ranging from in copyright, public domain, to rights unkown or orphan works). Other discover is that faithful reproductions of digital surrogates should have the same rights as physical items (can no longer claim copyright on a rare book image you scanned – not enough creativity involved.) May be slightly different for 3D objects in museum.
- Group agreed they'd like to use Europeana/DPLA model in the future. MD to give updates on progress. These will be machine and human readable.
- Group would to add a free-text "Credit" line field to the metadata template. Future discussion must include an approved tag-line for all collections. RB and EM agreed to something like "Courtesy of CHF Collections" as blanket for all collections.
- Website should also include an argument for Fair Use to protect ourselves and language that suggests we only "believe" the work is in copyright if we're not absolutely certain. Can have a note inviting users to contact us to take it down if they believe they are the copyright holder.
- CHF needs documentation on risk assessment for copyright and what constitutes "due diligence" here. Staff would be more willing to priorities access if they knew they had support from upper administration and documented policy.
- Future discussions need to involve Communications staff and Wikipedia since they may be applying a Creative Commons license to items for which we don't hold the copyright. Also need standardization across online access points and need to revisit agreements with places like Science Photo Library as we move to more open access.
