Thank you Brad for your explanation for why the change occurred with the processing status field, and thank you Kate, Noah, and Carolyn for your additional thoughts and feedback. Based on all of the provided feedback I asked some of our staff to work/test the new functionality while trying to consider the intent behind the changes, our existing local workflows and collections metadata, and the abstract "what do we consider processing status to mean". Based on this examination of the new functionality we would like to provide the following feedback (many of which have already been stated in this email thread): * In regards to "an event record allows much more information to be associated with the event", it has been our local practice and belief that more nuanced processing information that would help researchers and staff better understand a finding aid/the physical collection should be recorded in a corresponding "Processing Information" note (which is informed by our interpretation of DACS 7.1.8). That said, we do appreciate that the event record allows for the capturing of some metadata that would be less relevant to researchers, and consequently a place where additional metadata could be recorded outside of the aforementioned note field. * After examining our "processing status" data and discussing the new functionality, we agree with Kate's observation that "events and processing statuses are not logical equivalents." Additionally, we also agree with Noah's comment "that a resource or accession will always have only one current status." * Additionally, based on our examination, we do not believe that is ideal or logical to separate "processing status" from collection management records that still include: "processing priority", "processing plan", and "processors". * Our local workflows appear to be at a high level similar to what Carolyn has reported, and along with the data we had already created to take advantage of the previous functionality, we also preferred the simplicity of the processing status being a simple drop-down selection in the collection management records. * Based on our local use the processing status field, along with the current status of the ASpace tool, we found it much easier to report on collection status and to locate appropriate collections projects for our workers with the previous functionality over the current. * Finally, we also echo Kate's sentiment in that we do not understand why the new event features requires the removal of the processing status from the collection management records and consequently wonder if there is any reason not to have both? Due to the above points we are of the opinion that if the new event features cannot be appropriately maintained while also having the processing status functionality reside in the collection management records, we would be in favor of a return to the previous functionality, or a new approach that is more similar to the previous functionality. With that said, we understand that our rationale for this request is largely based on our local understanding of the role of the processing status field, our local workflows, and and our existing data. Because of this we recognize that not all ASpace members might share our perspective, and consequently we welcome continued discussion on this subject as appropriate. Thank you again to everyone who have already participated in the conversation, and we hope that as a community we can reach a consensus on the best direction for us to proceed in the near future. Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. -Matt Matt Francis Archivist for Collection Management Special Collections Library Penn State University From: "Runyon, Carolyn" To: "Archivesspace Users Group" Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 2:12:09 PM Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Collection management - processing status disappeared... We used the Processing Status field in the Collection Management module to track processing of our all our Resource records. It?s a little less complex than the data needed to populate an Event. I preferred the basic dropdown menu offered in Collection Management because it doesn?t require and Event Date/Time or a link it to an Agent. With legacy data, I won?t able to link an accurate Agent or Date to my processing events, which means I?ll have to devise some sort of input workaround for undated and anonymous Events. One last note, when Processing Status became and Event, Event Date/Time and Agent Links were populated, but they?re not accurate. They appear to reflect the Agent who selected the Processing Status and the Timestamp of when the Agent made the Processing Status selection. This means that if I want accurate data, I?ll need to clean up this legacy data.

It seems useful to allow a resource or accession to have lots of processing events associated with it (who did what, when), but it also seems that a resource or accession will always have only one current status (processed, not processed, partially processed, etc.). Also, associated events do not display in ?edit? mode for resources or accessions (collection management sub-records do). As a result, it?s a bit complicated to figure out what the processing status is if you have to sort through a long list of associated events in ?view? mode. -Noah From: archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org [ mailto:archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org ] On Behalf Of Bowers, Kate A.

Hi. Certainly it is possible and reasonable to have a discussion of how to adjust this change in functionality to make it more satisfying and less confusing, including reverting back to the functionality first included in ArchivesSpace. As I recall that functionality, it consisted of the ability to link a single collection management record to a material description record (accession, resource, or digital object but not components for resources and digital objects) and, further, to indicate in that collection management record the processing status of the material being described. Default terms were ?completed?, ?in_progress?, and ?new?, but the controlled value list was completely configurable. So institutions could add any terms they wanted to that list but they could only ever apply one status term to the material being described at a given time. We removed this field from the collection management field with the understanding such data would be better handled as event information and with the understanding that a change in status is first an event accomplished at a time and by an agent. We envisioned several benefits to this change: 1) As before, an organization has complete liberty to decide what terms it wants to use for expressing processing events and changes in processing status, as well as for any other events an institution chooses to track. The ?Event Event Type? list is completely configurable. 2) An event record allows much more information to be associated with the event, including a descriptive note about the event, when the event occurred, and who was responsible for the event. It struck us that knowing that processing of a collection was completed on a certain date and by a certain individual could be more useful information that know processing was simply completed. 3) Multiple event records can be associated to the same material description record. For instance, using event records it would be possible to indicate when processing of material started in one event record and when it was completed in another. 4) Multiple event records can be linked to component records. Thus for processing projects split into parallel parts, it would be possible to track, say, the processing progress of series. In short, our belief is that the collection management record in conjunction with event records provides a more comprehensive and flexible way for organizations to record collection management information. In that relationship, the collection management record is the location for planning?indicating processing priority, estimating processing time, indicating processing plan(s) and processor(s), but also noting funding source and whether rights are determined (it?s questionable whether or not these last two should be included in the collection management record)?while the event record is for recording completion (or not) of processing / administrative tasks associated with the materials?acquiring a purchase agreement, starting processing, completing processing, etc. There are requisites for this, of course: 1) Institutional policies regarding what events are to be tracked and what event vocabulary is to be used. 2) A process for creating and sharing reports that relate material descriptions, collection management, and events in meaningful ways. A segment of the ArchivesSpace community has been working to develop a reporting process, but the trajectory being taken will place the burden on institutions to define reports (You can, btw, see a record of this effort at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/2015-16+Reports (current work) and https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Reports+Sub-team (past work). It was also noted in the ArchivesSpace developers meeting last week, that information of this type would be very suitable for displaying in a dashboard widget. Of course, institutions can already build their own reporting and define their own reports by using report software to extract and format data from the ArchivesSpace MySQL database. But these would be requisites for any collection management information, supplemented or not by event information. They would be requisites for a reversion for a return to the previous data model. Let me close with two observations to other parts of this thread: 1) The display problem that Noah noted in his comment yesterday is a remnant of moving collection status to events. There is a bug report requesting its correction at AR-1324 . 2) The presence of the ?Collection Management Processing Status? in the list of controlled values is also remnant of that change. It should be removed , unless there is a collective decision to revert. Thanks for pointing that out, Kelly. So it would be great to hear others weigh in on this. Collection management and event information have, as far as I know, no prevailing models or standards that we can simply follow. The closest to such is the de facto collection management sub-record created for accessions in the Archivists? Toolkit, which was generalized for all top-level material descriptions in ArchivesSpace and supplemented by the inclusion of events. The ArchivesSpace event module is itself an extension of the PREMIS events. Best, Brad W.

I am very confused. Can you explain how this is would work? How is an archivist supposed to understand an accession?s status from one or more associated ?events? rather than from a straightforward status? I can also see how this would make reporting out backlogs really difficult. The reason I ask is that I can see how an event can lead to a status, but it is entirely possible that a status may have no associated event. Furthermore, the same type of event may lead to different statuses. In brief, status is not the same as ?event?. I can think of a couple of examples to illustrate this: ? ?Unknown? can be a status, but it has no associated event ? ?Partially processed? can be both a status an event. However, if one ?partially processes? an accession once, then the accession remains partially processed. If one ?partially processes? again, it could be that the processing has been completed and the accession?s status is now ?processed? or it could be that the accession is still only ?partially processed? and that additional processing events will be necessary to reach a ?processed? status.

Message-ID: I am not working on migrating data; we are a brand-new archives, and I am a brand-new archivist, so all data is being input fresh. With the last release of Aspace, I have encountered a problem of logging in; it doesn't seem to be consistent, but it sort of acts like it might be connected to re-indexing. If all goes well, I immediately see a dialog box that says Aspace is redirecting me. If that dialog box doesn't show up immediately, I know that I will not be able to log in, and I get a message that tells me it can't log in. We don't have a ton of stuff yet, and I'm focusing largely on accessiong, but if I've had a productive day, I can figure on not being able to log in the next morning. If I come back later (hours) or next day, I can usually log on with no problem. Has anyone else been having this issue? It started late November ...

I copied the contents of plugins/lcnaf/ into a new directory in plugins/, pointed config.rb to use the new plugin directory, and restarted ASpace. Everything is fine up until I try to run a search against LCNAF; clicking "Search" results in the following error: "The action 'show' could not be found for LcnafController" I feel like there's something silly that I've overlooked. The contents of lcnaf/ and lcnaf-new/ are completely identical. Is there something further that needs to be configured to start using the new plugin?

Message-ID: Thanks for all the help - I was able to get the new plugin directory loaded and properly working. Regarding why I changed the directory in the first place - I was able to make working changes on my local machine using /plugins/lcnaf, but ran into collision issues with the old LCNAF plugin when moving the code to our live instance. It seemed prudent to use a new plugin directory to avoid further issues with overlapping code, esp. as we install updates to the application.

One idea we?ve been batting around here is some sort of messaging system (inspired by Github?s webhooks [1]) which would allow authorized users to activate customizable HTTP callbacks for events, for example creation, modification or deletion of a resource or component. It seems like people have taken a number of approaches to figuring out when data changes in AS, but as far as I know all of these involve some sort of regularly scheduled cron job that looks at the Solr index or makes a ton of API calls. It would be amazing if the system could send notifications out ? I think it would allow for much more efficient and flexible integration with other systems.

I am planning on attending, and will be at the Code4Arc pre-conf , which was a great session we had last year at C4L. I am thinking of also signing up to lead a breakout session one of the days, and might put together something for a lighting talk. Is anyone else planning on going? Are there some possible ideas that anyone has or would like to see if attending? We might be able to expand on the breakout, if there's critical mass to possibly meet more somewhere. Best, Chris.

Message-ID: ?Real-time updates? and EAD will never go nicely together. People who aren?t serializing their data to XML as an end-in-itself should consider taking EAD out of the equation and moving the data directly from point A to point B. People who do believe having archival data serialized as XML is an end-in-itself should in the long run consider an alternative to EAD that is more accommodating to granular updates. > On Jan 7, 2016, at 5:10 PM, Chris Fitzpatrick wrote: > > > Hi Steve, > > Yeah, so that might be slightly tricky...if a bunch of components are updated, you don't want to trigger multiple EAD exports for each component update, but just a one time EAD export for all the updates.

I like your idea, since it I think most of it is actually pretty much already built in the indexer, since it polls the Aspace backend for created/updated/deleted records and triggers some actions to be passed off to another API ( i.e Solr's ) I think it would be pretty easy to essentially do something else, like "when a record is created, POST the JSON to this URI". Or maybe something slightly more sophisticated, like push it messaging queue like Redis or RabbitMQ, that a second service (like a microservice ) could listen to and consume messages. What would a use case be? Like pushing to Blacklight or Primo or Ebsco? best,chris.

Message-ID: I wasn?t thinking of EAD export, actually. My thinking was more that having a messaging system in ArchivesSpace which allows people to tie systems together based on events opens the door to exporting data in other models and serializations. Which I think would be a good thing.

People who do believe having archival data serialized as XML is an end-in-itself should in the long run consider an alternative to EAD that is more accommodating to granular updates.

We have not managed to import all of our legacy EAD into ArchivesSpace, so we will want to export EAD from ArchivesSpace to XTF whenever published resources are updated. We were considering whether this action should be made more explicit by triggering it on an associated Event instead of just an update, so that you could save partial updates without triggering this export chain. I was thinking of using Sinatra?s after filters in a backend plugin to trigger a check. I hadn?t though of hooking into the indexer. ?

Message-ID: I'm working with a few member organizations who'd like to integrate with their respective content management systems in order to present their collections to non-specialist, general interest audiences through their branded website, as well offer the means to further enrich resources outside of the DACS paradigm. That said, easy enough to rough out with your favorite HTTP client/framework (Guzzle, for example) and the ASpace API, especially by passing values into search parameters. (Haven't toyed with querying the index directly.) I don't recall, is there an "integration" advisory committee?
