Storytelling - 6.9.09: start working on our workflows by telling our stories:

  • CEEPR
  • Communications Forum (start with this story)
  • RLE
  • Whirlwind
  • Vail Balloon Prints

By walking through these cases we can identify workflows that can be finalized.


File naming conventions (focus on this topic 3/24) (tick)

  • see information saved in the Research section of this wiki
  • see file naming scheme page
  • see file naming quick reference page (will add to libstaff website)

Workflows - how do we organize these workflows?

  • Barton - DSpace/DOME
  • Barton - OCA - DSpace/DOME
  • IRIS - DOME
  • Working Papers/Technical Reports - DSpace/DOME
  • Archivist Toolkit - DOME
  • Filemaker Pro - DSpace/DOME
  • Also, possibly by stages and steps (outline practices):Metadata, Scanning, Preservation, Ingest, Flickr, Interim Storage for scanning outputs, end processing, storage, shipping, picklist

Role and Responsibilities

  • Who is responsible for tasks or set of tasks in each workflow, for example:
    • Who makes Thumbnails - DOME automatically creates or Document Services/Image Magik
    • Who builds Filemaker databases - for now Rob & company will be responsible is there another tool besides xml editor or Filemaker can we modify Curator's Workbench for our purposes (FACADE)
    • Who is responsible for loading data into or exporting data out from filemaker databases - Carl
    • Who maintains DSpace Images (puts stuff up there, takes stuff down, grants access rights)These are just the roles questions that impact me (RW), but I know that there are a number of tasks that have been done by a different person on each project. - [[See file disposition workflow|LIBDOME:File disposition]]

As technologies evolve pdf would not be the best way to display the images.  We would need to go back to the original tiff files. 

Non-prop  software, wouldn’t require any legal breaks to preserve item

DSpace is creating a file format plan

Tiff files serve as our second copy and our master digital file.
