Item	Notes
General observations on testing thus far	We've all familiarized ourselves with the transfer and ingest process We're still curious to see how piping DIPS to AtoM or other destinations will work Initial large file tests show little affect on performance, but Ladd will test more Seems helpful for recording the bifurcation of IPs - Access tab in archivematica shows where DIPS went. Something of a breadcrumb trail for future reference.
AtoM observations/questions	Ladd discovered script for connecting archivematica to AtoM didn't exist on the server, and that instructions are not up to date w/ latest versions of the software. He's determined rsync is doing the file transfer & SWORD is doing the data mapping - the point of failure is still unknown, and he needs more time to figure it out. Jessica reviewed the AtoM interface, with an emphasis on the ease of use compared to manual EAD markup of finding aids Jessica wants to know if object images displayed in AtoM finding aids can come from references to files stored elsewhere rather than extraneous copies stored in AtoM. Jessica brought up the question of AtoM's schema compliance capabilities Could be a big timesaver administratively in terms of generating EAD encoded finding aids (assuming most folks are still marking those up by hand) National usage numbers? Possibility of sending DIPs and IPs to Islandora
File ID tools	Benn looked more closely at these, and sees that FIDO is running now after some configuration change. Disk images should be recognized now. Tests with metadata.csv file and jp2 files created with Photoshop resulted in JHOVE issues with jp2s; these flags are consistent w/ existing issues in Benn's current workflows; archivematica doesn't seem to be a big improvement/timesaver in this regard
other archivematica issues	Vandy encountered problem with bag validation
Next steps	Shifting focus of working group to archivematica+AtoM use cases to demo for other potential users on campus More testing with disk images - normalization flags would be a big time saver
