West Beyond the West Portal
- Next steps: code review, incorporate feedback into site improvements – ongoing
Metadata Wrangler
- Starting to see community content appear in the portal
- West Vancouver Memorial Library, Salt Spring Island Archives, Campbell River Museum & Archives
- On the way: Museum of Vancouver, UBCIC
Hosting Service
- Institutional theming – done
- Ability to change metadata standards between collections – done
- CMR export – rather than including a CMR export function, Artefactual is working with Canadiana to ensure their DC export meets the requirements for CMR ingest. Artefactual has decided not to include a cmr export function within the software as cmr is “not a standard”. They are working with Canadiana to ensure this can take place.
- Canadiana will have a special script to convert records from AtoM in DC into CMR. Other AtoM users will be able to use this script as well.
- BCDC Site should be ready to launch at same time as Interim 2 (June) – will not be a public release, but an interim release. Final release in November 2013. Bulk export will probably not be included until the final release.
- Artefactual will offer the bulk export to users as a hosted service for the interim period between June and November. Users will still be able to do one offs in the meantime.
- Read-only test collection will be ready for BCLA. Mike and Mark J. are working with Artefactual’s team to bulk import a sample collection for BCLA demonstration purposes.
- AtoM timeline:
- Read only (Interim1): launching “any day now”
- Interim 2 will launch before ACA conf. in June (basic add/edit functionality)
- Full launch – November 2003
