Absent: David Caruso, Erin McLeary
Agenda:
Unveiling of Hydra production server in Beta
- http://hydra.chemheritage.org is production server - encryption for passwords
- staging server still at http://staging.hydra.chemheritage.org - no encryption for passwords, so use a fake one!
- Digital Collections team will continue to use both the staging and production server.
- Collection template has been stripped down - need larger discussion on what metadata fields needed for collection rather than item
- Items have been ingested from digital collections team first. Cat processed Hillary's Norda collection. Beckman digital archive team (Sarah and Megan) are now beginning to ingest for Beckman Legacy Project archival project.
Discussion of cloud server back-up strategies
...
- P/T Collections Photographer hire - will have one-on-one meetings with different curators to test workflowMichelle working with Stephanie on interviews.
- Anna's maternity leave: no Hydra development March - June 2016
- Priorities for Summer and Fall include: implementing works (not just files); adding user roles; finish Sierra API based on feedback for mapping
- IMLS grant application submitted: focus on adding linked data capabilities to Hydra and improving authority control for metadata (Ask Michelle if you want a copy of the abstract or narrative)
- Critical mass for show? Could potentially show the Board at the October meeting. Waiting for CHF website revisions and rebranding before we put any work into public-facing user interface on Hydra
- Will likely have more individual meetings from this point as collection photographer begins and new workflows are tested
