- Victor
- Certification for HIPAA certification: viewing on Nov. 10th @11:30am, GWB fourth floor
- Need to gather legislation on archives for Pat & Lorrie
- Any other legislation that Victor needs to look into? --> Pat mentions her students' state archives projects, which she will share with group
- Notes the constantly changing nature of law
- King: national policy regarding access? --> Victor: HIPAA is close, but could be a stronger research access policy
- Unmil: limitations of state-level laws/policies beyond cloud storage
- Victor: might be useful to focus on state laws that are "bad"
- Pat: metadata structure that we create should recognize that patients' relatives have privileged access (blank profile that allows access to materials that is not administrative)
- King: would be helpful to have a synthesis of state laws regarding privacy/access of medical records because there is a general lack of understanding among mental health directors of what to do with archival health records
- Victor: not sure how to compare/contrast laws across states because of the many variables (e.g., retention of various record genres) --> Lorrie: maybe need to just focus on one variable such as which states distinguish among genres); perhaps a focus on family disclosure at federal and state levels
- Pat: hospital and state archives retention schedules (interpretation of HIPAA and state laws) are always changing
- Victor & NitinUnmil, Nitin, & Carson
- HIPAA compliance: how we are going to include that information in our digital dark archives?
- Carson is designing standards-based metadata schema for dark archives: includes elements for administrative, descriptive, technical, compliance, etc.
- Nitin is working on operational infrastructure side (Archivematica); trying to extricate our server from iSchool server –> operational issues
- Meeting weekly to discuss technical and conceptual issues
- Nitin has created inventory of all scans on 12 disks and file naming convention structure
- Created basic structure for encoding metadata --> student group is creating profile for extracting technical metadata from files
- Unmil attended Hydra Connect meeting
- Fedora support has completely fallen through due to movement from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4 --> need to talk to Mellon about this (Hydra cannot be used as infrastructure)
- Discussion with Tom Kramer --> he suggested we don't use Hydra for digital archives, just for digital library
- Saw several examples of Fedora and Archivematica used in tandem: most stored archival data outside Fedora; Fedora used for access delivery
- Pat: mention of Bentley Library project, which is funded by Mellon
