Agenda:

Unveiling of Hydra production server in Beta

  • hydra.chemheritage.org is production server - encryption for passwords
  • staging server still at staging.hydra.chemheritage.org - no encryption for passwords, so use a fake one!
  • Collection template has been stripped down - need larger discussion on what metadata fields needed for collection rather than item

 

Discussion of cloud server back-up strategies


Sierra API for pulling library catalog data into Hydra (preliminary demo and discussion)

  • Demo pulling Sierra record info via bib number.
  • Sierra data appears in a box that can be cut and pasted into fields
  • Box will later disappear and fields will populate, but future mapping work required: probably different per department, and may be differences between items in a single department (i.e. plates versus entire works for rare books)
  • Could be something to mention to Innovative that we're using their API - fits use cases identified in their brochure: https://www.iii.com/sites/default/files/APIs_Case_Study.pdf
  • API pulls one way, one time, from the opac into Hydra. Not syncing. In the future,if changes are made to a record in the opac, they will have to be manually changed in Hydra

Plans and Priorities for the Year

  • P/T Collections Photographer hire - will have one-on-one meetings with different curators to test workflow
  • 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 website revisions and rebranding before we put any work into public-facing user interface
  • Will likely have more individual meetings from this point as collection photographer begins and new workflows are tested
  • No labels
