  • Created a wiki page about DPLA's guidelines for descriptive metadata for aggregate objects (https://docs.google.com/document/d/16r_px4GajLIOZMlyXyN0pJFfWpstJIKxHF3brgM4YOo/edit)
  • In file structure, a register for example will be an intellectual object with an identifier that will point to a location in the file system
  • Discussion of "inheritance" of metadata going down hierarchy/collection structure
  • Compliance profile for different anticipated types of restrictions/access (a reference structure) need to be created so that objects can be pointed to
  • Ummil: what is our authoritative file structure? He would like to not need to rely on a particular folder structure --> since each file is uniquely named, they can all be stored flattened in server; Carson notes that this structure will help with migration
  • Next step is set up of properties (DACS, EAD); content, creator, genre, etc.
  • Next steps: Will create schema
• Nitin
  • Reorganized series 1, subseries 2
  • Unmil resolves issue of intellectual objects that have names containing symbols such as commas, ampersands, etc.
  • Next steps: Will create data file and eventually rename
