| Round Robins | Adam | - Archeology data management group meeting met and they had Dena Reed from Archeology, Art History, Jonathan Jarves, Adam, Jessica Trologin, Brian Roberts, Texas Archeologyal research lab
- They discussed challenges - mainly places to store it and in terms of archiving and long term publication strategies
- They came up with the list of the items they had and what they were creating
- They decided to write up a paper about what exactly they want to do - what the ADMG wants as outcomes
- Ladd was present at that meeting
- There was follow-up from Denee: we'll see what kind of legs it has but everyone was interested and it was clear that they all share these issues about their data sets
- Other archaeologists are interested in seeing solutions once they've been tried
- Reflectance transformation imaging - allows you to take an object with surface relief with changing light source, and creates a single file where you can dynamically position the light
- this creates original raw photos
- color corrected photos
- project file in complex directory structure
- increasing amount of computational photography
- 2 big categories of data from the meeting were giant amount of photographs that take their meaning from databases and GIS data
- Michael Thomas - and John Clarke (Ontopolis born-digital project)
- They still don't have a preservation plan
- Large and complex thing, database they don't know what to do with
- reference files "transactional data"
- 3d model that integrates original data and database
- Complex relational database
- Digital lab notebook will be happening in the spring where metadata can be added to the reflectance imaging images on the fly
- There was a group that is trying to make low-cost dome lights for this projects
- Highlight ITI - the software uses the highlight on the sphere to calculate the light which allows you to calculate the normal - so you can figure out other lighting options dynamically
- If Adam can procure a low-cost dome, these imaging activities would increase considerably
- Adam's student developing metadata extraction tools for the archeology digital images (outputting Dublin Core)
- D3 visualizations
- working towards alpha-level prototype by the end of the semester
- could student demo the tool for this group?
- can do a check on the Dublin Core that is being created - does it need to be Dublin Core - how are they getting descriptive elements by extracting info from the image itself
- Any of those faculty members from the management group would be willing
- Jessica Trologin for staff
- Michael Thomas is not faculty but
- John Clarke (faculty) will be around in the Spring (Oplontis Project or the ICA digital projects - Joe Carter)
- Growing pains related to building capacity for creating more stuff but not matching that in terms of grasping cost projections for long term storage and access (I/O)
- What repos are handling RIS & CDO well?
- OpenContext platform manages data in a more complex fashion - California, publication platform stored in CDL
- Carolina Digital Library has some archaeological data in something that looks like DSpace
- But many of the repositories being used vary widely in terms of the cost associated with storage and access
- Heurist - the University of Sydney is being used by the Federated Archaeological Data Management System (Android-based collecting platforms)
- Poke Adam about contacting faculty
|
| | Katie | - Architecture and Planning Librarian through March 2015
- Working on contemporary practice in architectural record production (studio)
- Digital Scholarship group environmental scan has been proposed and there is some overlap with that and what we are trying to do
- She has been thinking about the best way to gather that information in the school of architecture in the same way that Adam pulled together the data management group
- Currently working on a project with the VRC and School of Architecture - trying to preserve born-digital video content created through the school, ingest into UTDR
- how to integrate archival and new recordings?
- Book nook - a place to highlight publications by students and faculty and Katie is thinking about a digital component (web design for access portal and the exhibit approach)
- Audiences - developing domain-specific messaging : taking general archiving and digital preservation principles and framing them in the context of a specific domain > rolling that back into making a case for preservation
- CDO Environmental scan is about getting their value statements, how their work is valued by others (this is related to what we are and the scope for the whole project)
- If we are talking about doing this with faculty - value is especially important because value translates to the yes/no of tenure
|
| | Jessica | - We could potentially in this group - discuss and compare notes with about cost projections for storage and access
- important to factor in cost projections for complex digital objects in the environmental scan, or how people are thinking about storage
- Preserving UTexas update
- good info and tips from Colleen Lyon (needs/demands seen in UTDR requests/conversations over the years)
- web archivist + GRA + subscription service proposal, with submittal target end of 2014-early 2015, to be presented by Mike Horn & Dr. Carleton to UT President.
- ASMP Software Systems update
- working through optimal arrangement schemes
- talking with and building trust within the IT community across campus
- History of Computing @ School of Architecture as component of History of Computing at UT
|
| | Melanie | - Data management group for architecture - the CDO Environmental Scan might be a lead in from that
|
| Recap of conversation with Dr. Galloway on CDO Enviro Scan | | - Sarah Buchanan's dissertation
- Framing project leads' identity & legitimacy, with representatives from:
- a unit focused on supporting/shaping domain-specific practices (e.g. APL/AAA)
- a unit focused on University Archives perspective and responsibilities (BCAH)
- a unit focused on providing access (UTL)
- Dr. Galloway agreed to participate in environmental scan/interviews
- suggested sending interviewees prompts before interview to set the stage
- possibilities of student involvement
