From mark.custer at yale.edu Sun Oct 2 12:26:18 2016 From: mark.custer at yale.edu (Custer, Mark) Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2016 16:26:18 +0000 Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Archivesspace_Users_Group Digest, Vol 38, Issue 7 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Cheri, Based on that second line in the error log, it looks like there?s at least one hand-encoded ?emph? element in that resource record that hasn?t been terminated. In other words, you might have a note or a title that looks something like this, ?this is some text with two opening tags, but no closing tags?, when it has to look something like this, instead, ?this is some text with the proper ratio of opening and closing tags?. ASpace will still be able to export this file into EAD, but the resulting XML file will not be well formed. Because of that, any transformations (such as converting the file into PDF) will fail. Since the log won?t tell you exactly where the problem resides in ASpace, I find it easiest to validate the file outside of ASpace after using the export EAD function and then opening the file in an XML editor, like oXygen.

That the records display in the tree and PDF indicate that they're there. If you didn't have permission to edit them, they would still load, you just wouldn't get an edit button. And if they were still suppressed and you didn't have permission to view them, they just wouldn't appear in the tree. Can you ask your system administrator to reindex and see if that resolves the issue? (And since you've mentioned suppression a few times, I take it these were suppressed, then unsuppressed? Is there anything else different/unusual about how this particular set of components was created or edited? Just trying to understand what the sequence of events may have been.) As for merging top containers, this is not currently possible. There is a feature request at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1436.

I do have system permissions to edit/unsupress records, but I am concerned that there is a lingering bug in the middle of everything. Attached is the screen shot, although I am not sure how helpful it will be. There seems to be no way to load or edit this section, which appears to be currently unsupressed, since it shows up in the PDF export. Another question that recently cropped up (sorry guys, lots of questions?) is if it?s possible to merge Top Containers? From entering data in RDE and entering data in the conventional way, there somehow developed two duplicate top containers ?Box X.? Is there a simple way to merge these two? Just curious! Thanks, everyone, for putting up with my questions and for any help you could provide!

Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, We're working on getting ArchivesSpace configured and our IT department has some concerns. They wish to use LDAP (probably Active Directory) for user authentication. To do this, we would have to have valid bind credentials stored in the config file. The problem they see is that this file is stored with those credentials unencrypted, which is a safety concern. Have others considered this when setting up their LDAP implementations? What have you done to alleviate this risk?

Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi all, I know most of the conversation around the Rights sub-records has been limited to digital records, but our analysis suggests that conceptually rights sub-records are simply more granular, machine-actionable forms of conditions governing access and use notes that apply to both analog and digital collections. So we're considering doing away completely with our use of the more general conditions governing access and use notes in favor of these more precise rights sub-records. Has anyone else considered or done this, or considered it and chose not to? Are we missing something? Thanks!

Or do you use another area? I am thinking it would be really great to be able to indicate and search somehow for materials in delicate media formats: audio reels, Umatic, microcassettes, floppy disks, etc and was just curious how other institutions are keeping track of it.

The work that was done by HM and Yale last year made it possible to encode machine-actionable conditions governing use and conditions governing access statements, which will then be associated with containers. A circulation system would be able to tell you, once those restrictions are encoded, whether a container is restricted. I made a video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biCDhkbBSng (things may be slightly different in 1.5.x, but not by much).

Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" To clarify on the MARC exporting, our library uses EBSCO discovery as its main search box into the library collections, and I would like to include the archives data that is presently in Archon and ArchivesSpace. Since Archon can export as a MARC record, EBSCO can use that ... but we need to be able to produce a file of MARC data, not just print each record's MARC data. I'm assuming that the MARC is also in ArchivesSpace and we have that running with the data exported in from Archon, too. It's the MARC data that we want to export into one file as a .mrc file.

We've noticed a problem where our edits sometimes fail to save in one specific field-the Preferred Citation Note. We're editing titles. We make an edit in the Resource Record's title field, then make the same edit in the finding aid title field, and then in the Preferred Citation Field in the Notes section. Then we save the record. Sometimes, our change in the Preferred Citation field actually saves, but sometimes we check after saving and find that the text in that field has reverted back to its pre-edited state. We aren't sure if there is a specific sequence of steps that triggers the problem--it seems to be random. Once we see that our edit has been lost, we try to re-edit and save again-sometimes it works on the second save, once I had to try four times to get the edit I made to stick. Has anyone else had this problem or can suggest a possible cause/fix? It's not a huge issue, but it is slowing down our cleanup work, and if it's not isolated to this field, it could cause failed saving of more important notes, like the scope and content note, which would be a big problem.

Our IT is currently trying to move us from the ASpace default setup to an Apache environment (also so we can sync with Preservica). It hasn't been easy as they haven't found any instructions on how to move ASpace over. I can only share the steps I know we've had to go through so far. If your IT hasn't yet, they will need to register with a service like godaddy or Windstream so you can get an external IP and internet DNS record. For example we added a subdomain to our Curtis.edu website, archspace.curtis.edu through Windstream. After you are migrated, your original ports: staff, API, and public either need to be added to the URL or proxied via httpd. I'll be keeping the basic archspace.curtis.edu for the public and changing the URIs for the staff and admin logins. Let me know how it goes! Barbara Barbara J.

Why this upgrade now? After a more in depth review of the current ArchivesSpace technical development needs coupled with the longer term goal of building more code contributions by the community, it is clear that a Technical Lead position can do this best. This new position will be responsible for the overall development of the software, establishing a technical roadmap and management of a community-based code contribution process. The Technical Lead will work with the community to engage a broader set of developers to participate in the program, providing technical guidance, support and leadership to create a robust developer community. The position will also contribute code. In addition, we will be contracting for additional development support, both to accomplish desired work while the technical lead position is open and to address additional high priority development needs. Attached is the position description. To repeat, the Developer position is being replaced by the Technical Lead position. Applications accepted until the position is filled, but review of applications will begin 10/15.

The primary aim of this specification is to enable the expression of standards-based rights statements that are atomic and actionable and that support data transfers with other applications using rights statements, such as Archivematica. We have completed a draft specification, and are now asking for community review and feedback. The attached packet includes: - a summary of the enhancements requested in the specification and their purpose; - a spreadsheet containing: - 1) the data model being proposed for the rights management module in ArchivesSpace, - 2) the data migrations necessary for moving data in the current data model to the new data model, - 3) a chart indicating the data elements to be migrated from Archivematica to ArchivesSpace, and - 4) a data map illustrating how PREMIS rights elements are supported in Archivematica and ArchivesSpace; and - ten wire frames illustrating how the proposed data model should be reflected in the ArchivesSpace staff interface. If you need some orientation to the way that PREMIS Rights Statements are used (regardless of whether these are authored in ArchivesSpace), see the attached PDF. Please take a look. Brad Westbrook (brad.westbrook at lyrasis.org), Hillel Arnold (harnold at rockarch.org) and/or myself (eckardm at umich.edu) are happy to answer any questions that you may have and to receive feedback on the specification by *Friday, October 21, 2016*.

Thanks to all Member Representatives who responded on behalf of their institutions! The Prioritization subteam is analyzing this data and will be using it to complete the development roadmap for the remainder of FY 2016-17. ArchivesSpace is hiring for a Technical Lead. The Technical Lead will be responsible for the overall development of the software, establishing a technical roadmap and management of a community-based code contribution process. The Technical Lead will work with the community to engage a broader set of developers to participate in the program, providing technical guidance, support and leadership to create a robust developer community. The person in the position will also contribute code. This position will replace the previously posted Developer position. If you are interested, or know of people who are interested, more information and a link to the full description is available on the LYRASIS Open Positions page at https://www.lyrasis.org/job/Pages/LYRASIS-Positions.aspx. In addition, we will be contracting for additional development support, both to accomplish desired work while the technical lead position is open and to address additional high priority development needs. We hope to make an announcement with specifics about this very soon. Rights Management Specification Available for Review As previously announced, representatives from the ArchivesSpace member community, program team, and Artefactual, Inc., have been working on a specification for an enhanced rights management module in ArchivesSpace. They would now like to present this work for wider community review and recently made available via the ArchivesSpace Users Group a set of files including a summary description of the proposed enhancements; a delineation of the data model; some information on migration and mapping between Archivematica and ArchivesSpace, as well as mapping to PREMIS; and wireframes illustrating how the proposed changes would be reflected in the ArchivesSpace staff interface. Please contact Brad Westbrook (brad.westbrook at lyrasis.org), Hillel Arnold (harnold at rockarch.org) and/or Max Eckard (eckardm at umich.edu) for more information. The group would like to receive feedback on the draft specification by Friday, October 21, 2016.

We'd recommend finding a digital asset management system that you're happy with (e.g., BePress, or a couple of our members suggested Islandora, but really any will do--some better than others, of course) and looking into that. As to your concern about having digital objects and metadata "separated," I'm sure there's others on this list who would disagree, but we've at least taken the approach that ArchivesSpace is our system of record for administrative and descriptive metadata while DSpace is our system of record for preserving/providing access to digital objects/packages. While the metadata/objects then are technically "separated" in different systems, all that really means is that we have two systems that specialize in different things (and do each of those different things better than either one of them could do both) that function together in a coordinated whole. Unique identifiers end up playing a big role in linking systems together. One of the best things about ArchivesSpace is the API , which allows you to easily get data in and out and share it with other systems, so I'd also look into that.

We?ve been discussing at JHU the overlap and, frankly, similarity between what sort of information the Rights Management module is trying to capture and the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes are used for, and we?re not seeing a difference in concept between the two. ?Archivists have always used the Access/Use notes? or ?Access/Use notes are an EAD/DACS/AT hold-over? may be factually accurate but they are not strong cases for continuing use. So for the sake of not over-complicating the ASpace data model--where equally valid locations for putting the same type of information proliferate and, therefore, confuse?my main feedback is that you/the community/whoever take a good look at integration between the access/use notes and the rights management module. (After review of the responses I received from the ASpace listserv and internal discussion, JHU has decide to stop using the Access/Use notes and begin to use the Rights sub-records to manage information about what people are allowed and not allowed to do with all of our collections?analog and digital.)

This issue about the pairing of Conditions Governing Access/Use notes and the Rights module has definitely come up in our conversations. Borrowing some language from these conversations, at least for the moment we see the statements in the ArchivesSpace Rights module being used in conjunction with rights/access statements supported in the Conditions Governing Access and Conditions Governing Use notes. The Rights module statements are for granular, actionable statements, whereas the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes are for summary, non-actionable statements, and instructions, where appropriate, for contacting rights holders. That may turn out to be an unnecessary redundancy, and clearly there are folks like you that make a good case for that in theory and in practice, but that's at least our thinking for now. Thanks again for your input! It really is very much appreciated!

When you say ?we,? do you mean the Technical Advisory Council?

My cursory understanding is that the UAC advises the TAC on what feature enhancements the TAC should implement. Maybe UAC and TAC have discussed this? To your point that the Rights module only should be used to manage machine-actionable rights information, unless you plan to change something in the enhancements, currently a user is not required to use the Rights module only for this purpose?there are notes fields that one can use to put rights statements that could easily live in access/use notes, too, and the machine-actionable features are not required to create a rights record. Also, an important implication that one of my staff mentioned yesterday is that it?s possible the public user interface development going on does not account for institutions that choose to put their access/use information in the rights module. Have there been discussions with the PUI group about this? Speaking of granularity, I have a more granular request: your attachments are useful, but it appears you have not provided a list of elements that would be eliminated if these enhancements were adopted. For instance, looking at your wireframes, it would appear that the free-text fields of ?permissions? and ?restrictions? would go away. I don?t really have an opinion right now on whether that?s a good idea or not, but it would be helpful if you could provide us with a list of fields you?re proposing to remove.

This issue about the pairing of Conditions Governing Access/Use notes and the Rights module has definitely come up in our conversations. Borrowing some language from these conversations, at least for the moment we see the statements in the ArchivesSpace Rights module being used in conjunction with rights/access statements supported in the Conditions Governing Access and Conditions Governing Use notes. The Rights module statements are for granular, actionable statements, whereas the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes are for summary, non-actionable statements, and instructions, where appropriate, for contacting rights holders. That may turn out to be an unnecessary redundancy, and clearly there are folks like you that make a good case for that in theory and in practice, but that's at least our thinking for now.

The primary aim of this specification is to enable the expression of standards-based rights statements that are atomic and actionable and that support data transfers with other applications using rights statements, such as Archivematica. We have completed a draft specification, and are now asking for community review and feedback. The attached packet includes: * a summary of the enhancements requested in the specification and their purpose; * a spreadsheet containing: * 1) the data model being proposed for the rights management module in ArchivesSpace, * 2) the data migrations necessary for moving data in the current data model to the new data model, * 3) a chart indicating the data elements to be migrated from Archivematica to ArchivesSpace, and * 4) a data map illustrating how PREMIS rights elements are supported in Archivematica and ArchivesSpace; and * ten wire frames illustrating how the proposed data model should be reflected in the ArchivesSpace staff interface. If you need some orientation to the way that PREMIS Rights Statements are used (regardless of whether these are authored in ArchivesSpace), see the attached PDF. Please take a look. Brad Westbrook (brad.westbrook at lyrasis.org), Hillel Arnold (harnold at rockarch.org) and/or myself (eckardm at umich.edu) are happy to answer any questions that you may have and to receive feedback on the specification by Friday, October 21, 2016.

The primary reasoning behind this specification is to support atomic and thus machine-actionable rights statements in ArchivesSpace. However, these statements, like you said, can also be used as descriptive elements, and could display in ArchivesSpace public displays (in ArchivesSpace or in other discovery systems). At the end of this process, if/when this specification is implemented, users will have at least three basic options: 1. Use only Conditions Governing Access/Use notes. 2. Use only the Rights module. 3. Use the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes in conjunction with the Rights module in the way I described above or in some other way (the "we" I was referring to earlier was just the group of us that did some research and wrote up the rights module). This approach accommodates the various ways institutions already use and want to use rights statements. Users recording rights data in the Rights module should have the ability to publish (or not publish) to the PUI. I talked with Brad briefly about this; sounds like it will need to be reflected in the specification and the PUI group will need to be informed to account for this change in its work. The specifics of that (what displays, what doesn't, etc.) seem like they'd still need to be worked out. Finally, this enhancement work should not result in any data being lost. While some current fields (like the ones you mentioned--these and others are written out in the "Removals" section of the "Data Migrations" table) are being transferred to others that support atomic statements. Actually, the current Permissions/Restrictions field is a good case in point. The migration scenarios provided in the specification indicate these changes and what is to happen to current data, in this case being transferred to an "Act" note with an appropriate label. Hope this helps and thanks again for the feedback! Max On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 9:35 AM, Jordon Steele wrote: > Thanks for your response, Max.

Message-ID: Hello, We have a problem where some edits to records are saving but don't appear to be updating in the index - e.g. you can see the correct info when looking at the particular record but not in the summary info about a record in a browse list. In troubleshooting this problem, we noticed in the ArchivesSpace config there is an option to set up a Solr data storage directory. However you aren't forced to do so. If the Solr data storage directory isn't explicitly set up, it looks like Solr tries to put data to config directory in $SOLR_HOME/[core name]/config. Here is the relevant code block: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/ core/src/java/org/apache/solr/rest/ManagedResourceStorage.java#L119 If the config directory is not writable or doesn't exist (e.g. we don't seem to have a SOLR_HOME directory by default) Solr sends a "cannot write to config directory ... switching to InMemory storage instead" warning (discussed in an earlier listserv thread ) and then put data into memory. Does anyone know if this (storage InMemory) is desired behavior (e.g. for performance reasons)? Or is this an error in the default Solr config? Thank you!

This looks dope, and it looks like it will make integration with digital preservation systems much easier. Thanks too for laying out the options for recording rights information, Max. There are a couple of things that I would add from my perspective of having worked on the requirements for enhanced conditions governing access and conditions governing use notes that I would want folks to think about before making description and usage decisions, especially since I know there are a lot of new adopters of 1.5.x who may not have fully explored this functionality. Looking at the underlying standards that govern a record in ArchivesSpace is important, and part of the reason that we decided to work on conditions governing access/use was because we were interested in using DACS guidance for aggregated materials. Doing description outside of the content standard -- rather, in lieu of the content standard used for all other records -- seems pretty iffy to me. If it were me, I would use DACS elements for archival description and PREMIS elements for digital preservation activities. As you say, the rights module will be very good for recording atomic rights information on a PREMIS model. But if you're looking at an aggregation of materials that may have children records, ArchivesSpace won't know that the rights subrecord applies to the physical, lower-level objects that circulate in boxes the same way that it knows about access/use notes -- as is appropriate! I haven't yet seen a full articulation of the difference between rights and conditions governing access/use, beyond what we had created at Yale and Mary had circulated, but it seems like conditions governing access/use are now very good with DACS principle 7, in a way that there's no expectation for PREMIS rights statements to be. Indeed, the enhancements to access/use notes in 1.5.x use the archival principles of inheritance in a way that the rights subrecord does not plan to. In 1.5.x, if a series is marked as being available for research use in 2027, ArchivesSpace knows that all of the top containers in that series are not open until 2027. It won't know this about containers if rights subrecords are used (because rights subrecords are based on PREMIS, which is about electronic records -- although there's a role for aggregation in describing electronic records too, of course). Finally, a big part of the migration from Archivists' Toolkit to ArchivesSpace at Yale had to do with reconciling non-standard usage of AT. There had been good reasons, I know, for using fields and records in non-standard ways in AT at Yale, but the result was 80% of my time and 80% of another colleague's time for six months (and thousands of dollars toward contract programmers) to put the data back where it was expected so that it could go into ArchivesSpace smoothly. You don't want to go through that if you can avoid it. Plus, beyond the PUI, your EAD won't have the relevant access/use information you need, which may be fine eventually but for now won't work for inclusion in ArchiveGrid and a number of other projects that rely on EAD. Since I'm away from Yale and this work now , I'd love to hear what others who are using 1.5.x think about this.

This looks dope, and it looks like it will make integration with digital preservation systems much easier. Thanks too for laying out the options for recording rights information, Max. There are a couple of things that I would add from my perspective of having worked on the requirements for enhanced conditions governing access and conditions governing use notes that I would want folks to think about before making description and usage decisions, especially since I know there are a lot of new adopters of 1.5.x who may not have fully explored this functionality. Looking at the underlying standards that govern a record in ArchivesSpace is important, and part of the reason that we decided to work on conditions governing access/use was because we were interested in using DACS guidance for aggregated materials. Doing description outside of the content standard -- rather, in lieu of the content standard used for all other records -- seems pretty iffy to me. If it were me, I would use DACS elements for archival description and PREMIS elements for digital preservation activities. As you say, the rights module will be very good for recording atomic rights information on a PREMIS model. But if you're looking at an aggregation of materials that may have children records, ArchivesSpace won't know that the rights subrecord applies to the physical, lower-level objects that circulate in boxes the same way that it knows about access/use notes -- as is appropriate! I haven't yet seen a full articulation of the difference between rights and conditions governing access/use, beyond what we had created at Yale and Mary had circulated, but it seems like conditions governing access/use are now very good with DACS principle 7, in a way that there's no expectation for PREMIS rights statements to be. Indeed, the enhancements to access/use notes in 1.5.x use the archival principles of inheritance in a way that the rights subrecord does not plan to. In 1.5.x, if a series is marked as being available for research use in 2027, ArchivesSpace knows that all of the top containers in that series are not open until 2027. It won't know this about containers if rights subrecords are used (because rights subrecords are based on PREMIS, which is about electronic records -- although there's a role for aggregation in describing electronic records too, of course). Finally, a big part of the migration from Archivists' Toolkit to ArchivesSpace at Yale had to do with reconciling non-standard usage of AT. There had been good reasons, I know, for using fields and records in non-standard ways in AT at Yale, but the result was 80% of my time and 80% of another colleague's time for six months (and thousands of dollars toward contract programmers) to put the data back where it was expected so that it could go into ArchivesSpace smoothly. You don't want to go through that if you can avoid it. Plus, beyond the PUI, your EAD won't have the relevant access/use information you need, which may be fine eventually but for now won't work for inclusion in ArchiveGrid and a number of other projects that rely on EAD. Since I'm away from Yale and this work now, I'd love to hear what others who are using 1.5.x think about this.

The primary reasoning behind this specification is to support atomic and thus machine-actionable rights statements in ArchivesSpace. However, these statements, like you said, can also be used as descriptive elements, and could display in ArchivesSpace public displays (in ArchivesSpace or in other discovery systems). At the end of this process, if/when this specification is implemented, users will have at least three basic options: 1. Use only Conditions Governing Access/Use notes. 2. Use only the Rights module. 3. Use the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes in conjunction with the Rights module in the way I described above or in some other way (the "we" I was referring to earlier was just the group of us that did some research and wrote up the rights module). This approach accommodates the various ways institutions already use and want to use rights statements. Users recording rights data in the Rights module should have the ability to publish (or not publish) to the PUI. I talked with Brad briefly about this; sounds like it will need to be reflected in the specification and the PUI group will need to be informed to account for this change in its work. The specifics of that (what displays, what doesn't, etc.) seem like they'd still need to be worked out. Finally, this enhancement work should not result in any data being lost. While some current fields (like the ones you mentioned--these and others are written out in the "Removals" section of the "Data Migrations" table) are being transferred to others that support atomic statements. Actually, the current Permissions/Restrictions field is a good case in point. The migration scenarios provided in the specification indicate these changes and what is to happen to current data, in this case being transferred to an "Act" note with an appropriate label.

When you say ?we,? do you mean the Technical Advisory Council? And please forgive my limited understanding about the functions of the ASpace groups, but should the decision about the pros and cons of integration and redundancy rest with the TAC or the User Advisory Council?or Governance? My cursory understanding is that the UAC advises the TAC on what feature enhancements the TAC should implement. Maybe UAC and TAC have discussed this? To your point that the Rights module only should be used to manage machine-actionable rights information, unless you plan to change something in the enhancements, currently a user is not required to use the Rights module only for this purpose?there are notes fields that one can use to put rights statements that could easily live in access/use notes, too, and the machine-actionable features are not required to create a rights record. Also, an important implication that one of my staff mentioned yesterday is that it?s possible the public user interface development going on does not account for institutions that choose to put their access/use information in the rights module. Have there been discussions with the PUI group about this? Speaking of granularity, I have a more granular request: your attachments are useful, but it appears you have not provided a list of elements that would be eliminated if these enhancements were adopted. For instance, looking at your wireframes, it would appear that the free-text fields of ?permissions? and ?restrictions? would go away. I don?t really have an opinion right now on whether that?s a good idea or not, but it would be helpful if you could provide us with a list of fields you?re proposing to remove.

Maureen, I was not aware that the Rights module would not follow the principle of inheritance. Seems like it should, if the rights information being assigned exists in context of a hierarchy. Setting aside the intricacies of what PREMIS or DACS set out to accomplish, any user would logically look at a field in ASpace called "Rights Statements" and think, "Oh, that's where I put information about what people can and can't do with my stuff." You also raise a good point that rights information may not map properly to discovery tools like ArchiveGrid if entered in the Rights module. The implication, then, is that those of us that want to manage our rights with more granularity, and consolidate the locations where that rights information exists, are left with some pretty serious trade-offs. I'll say that I would be more comfortable managing my rights information in the access/use notes coming from an archives/DACS tradition, but the big weakness for us is that you can't record atomic rights information in these elements in the accessions module, and according to one offline response I received access/use notes don't transfer over when you spawn a resource record (which sounds like a bug, can't believe that was intentional, but I digress). Here's an idea: should we instead be focusing on moving some of the rights statement functionality to access/use notes and sunsetting the rights module altogether, rather than having parallel places to put the same information? Which leads me to my main point. Hillel, I think you hit the nail on the head: thanks to Max's helpful replies I now realize that it is beyond the scope of this project to consider how best to manage rights information in ASpace; rather, this project is limited to making some informed improvements to one place a user can manage rights information. So you guys are off the hook! But what about the rest of us thinking about how this bundle of features that add up to ASpace-are we missing a greater opportunity here? I would argue that giving people more than one place to put the same information is questionable product design, and now might be good time to fix that. I think the argument that giving people options is a collegial gesture, but I just don't buy it.

My cursory understanding is that the UAC advises the TAC on what feature enhancements the TAC should implement. Maybe UAC and TAC have discussed this? To your point that the Rights module only should be used to manage machine-actionable rights information, unless you plan to change something in the enhancements, currently a user is not required to use the Rights module only for this purpose-there are notes fields that one can use to put rights statements that could easily live in access/use notes, too, and the machine-actionable features are not required to create a rights record. Also, an important implication that one of my staff mentioned yesterday is that it's possible the public user interface development going on does not account for institutions that choose to put their access/use information in the rights module. Have there been discussions with the PUI group about this? Speaking of granularity, I have a more granular request: your attachments are useful, but it appears you have not provided a list of elements that would be eliminated if these enhancements were adopted. For instance, looking at your wireframes, it would appear that the free-text fields of "permissions" and "restrictions" would go away. I don't really have an opinion right now on whether that's a good idea or not, but it would be helpful if you could provide us with a list of fields you're proposing to remove.

This issue about the pairing of Conditions Governing Access/Use notes and the Rights module has definitely come up in our conversations. Borrowing some language from these conversations, at least for the moment we see the statements in the ArchivesSpace Rights module being used in conjunction with rights/access statements supported in the Conditions Governing Access and Conditions Governing Use notes. The Rights module statements are for granular, actionable statements, whereas the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes are for summary, non-actionable statements, and instructions, where appropriate, for contacting rights holders. That may turn out to be an unnecessary redundancy, and clearly there are folks like you that make a good case for that in theory and in practice, but that's at least our thinking for now. Thanks again for your input! It really is very much appreciated! Max On Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 11:59 AM, Jordon Steele > wrote: Max, These enhancements look good to us, thanks for your efforts. We've been discussing at JHU the overlap and, frankly, similarity between what sort of information the Rights Management module is trying to capture and the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes are used for, and we're not seeing a difference in concept between the two. "Archivists have always used the Access/Use notes" or "Access/Use notes are an EAD/DACS/AT hold-over" may be factually accurate but they are not strong cases for continuing use. So for the sake of not over-complicating the ASpace data model--where equally valid locations for putting the same type of information proliferate and, therefore, confuse-my main feedback is that you/the community/whoever take a good look at integration between the access/use notes and the rights management module. (After review of the responses I received from the ASpace listserv and internal discussion, JHU has decide to stop using the Access/Use notes and begin to use the Rights sub-records to manage information about what people are allowed and not allowed to do with all of our collections-analog and digital.) Your work presents a good opportunity for us all to try to get on the same page.

The primary aim of this specification is to enable the expression of standards-based rights statements that are atomic and actionable and that support data transfers with other applications using rights statements, such as Archivematica. We have completed a draft specification, and are now asking for community review and feedback. The attached packet includes: * a summary of the enhancements requested in the specification and their purpose; * a spreadsheet containing: * 1) the data model being proposed for the rights management module in ArchivesSpace, * 2) the data migrations necessary for moving data in the current data model to the new data model, * 3) a chart indicating the data elements to be migrated from Archivematica to ArchivesSpace, and * 4) a data map illustrating how PREMIS rights elements are supported in Archivematica and ArchivesSpace; and * ten wire frames illustrating how the proposed data model should be reflected in the ArchivesSpace staff interface. If you need some orientation to the way that PREMIS Rights Statements are used (regardless of whether these are authored in ArchivesSpace), see the attached PDF. Please take a look. Brad Westbrook (brad.westbrook at lyrasis.org), Hillel Arnold (harnold at rockarch.org) and/or myself (eckardm at umich.edu) are happy to answer any questions that you may have and to receive feedback on the specification by Friday, October 21, 2016.

A rights statement will belong to a hierarchy in the same way that a higher-level scope and content note will -- it sits higher in the tree and we have all agreed that higher-level elements implicitly apply to lower-level elements. All of this data can be accessed through a number of means (the API, the GUI, the database) and you could set up systems so that machines can do actions with the data -- to look higher in the tree to see which rights statements apply. But ArchivesSpace itself won't do the work of associating a condition governing access or use (as expressed in rights, rather than access/use subrecords) with containers that are associated lower down in the hierarchy in a way that would let a system know whether or not a container should circulate. Here, I'm really strictly talking about associating machine-actionable restrictions with top containers. The granular restriction types and restriction begin/end dates in conditions governing access/use DO let you do this. It's an extremely rare occasion that I disagree with Hillel, but I do think that generally, it's important to remember that these systems are a way to make standards actionable and description manageable, but that even when systems go away, standards persist. My guess is that the folks who wrote this specification have very well-defined boundaries about the appropriate way to leverage PREMIS rights statements. I also think that this proposal is good, because PREMIS rights are meant to do different things than DACS conditions governing access or use statements, and there may be good use cases for linking this information across both ArchivesSpace and a digital preservation repository. But I'm also going to guess that not every archivist is familiar or comfortable with those distinctions, and it might be helpful to see an explanation of "As an archivist managing electronic records in a digital preservation repository, I want for the rights module to be in better alignment with PREMIS rights so that I may _______." Similarly, there's a lot baked into ArchivesSpace about how to write DACS-compliant description in ArchivesSpace, but I think that much goes unsaid there too. Thanks!

The ?Other Considerations? section is basically what I?m proposing. I am a PREMIS novice, but it strikes me as a superior solution for managing rights information than DACS notes, which is why the rights management module appeals to me. But based on Maureen?s helpful warnings, I?m starting to doubt whether we?ll implement it, not really because of PREMIS or the rights module but because ASpace doesn?t seem to be designed well to use it in this (in my opnion, superior) manner. All the more reason to pump the breaks a bit and have a bigger conversation about how the rights statements and the access/use notes can be used in conjunction in a more direct way than just a human being knowing that this feature over here kinda relates to that feature over there.

A rights statement will belong to a hierarchy in the same way that a higher-level scope and content note will -- it sits higher in the tree and we have all agreed that higher-level elements implicitly apply to lower-level elements. All of this data can be accessed through a number of means (the API, the GUI, the database) and you could set up systems so that machines can do actions with the data -- to look higher in the tree to see which rights statements apply. But ArchivesSpace itself won't do the work of associating a condition governing access or use (as expressed in rights, rather than access/use subrecords) with containers that are associated lower down in the hierarchy in a way that would let a system know whether or not a container should circulate. Here, I'm really strictly talking about associating machine-actionable restrictions with top containers. The granular restriction types and restriction begin/end dates in conditions governing access/use DO let you do this. It's an extremely rare occasion that I disagree with Hillel, but I do think that generally, it's important to remember that these systems are a way to make standards actionable and description manageable, but that even when systems go away, standards persist. My guess is that the folks who wrote this specification have very well-defined boundaries about the appropriate way to leverage PREMIS rights statements. I also think that this proposal is good, because PREMIS rights are meant to do different things than DACS conditions governing access or use statements, and there may be good use cases for linking this information across both ArchivesSpace and a digital preservation repository. But I'm also going to guess that not every archivist is familiar or comfortable with those distinctions, and it might be helpful to see an explanation of "As an archivist managing electronic records in a digital preservation repository, I want for the rights module to be in better alignment with PREMIS rights so that I may _______." Similarly, there's a lot baked into ArchivesSpace about how to write DACS-compliant description in ArchivesSpace, but I think that much goes unsaid there too. Thanks!

I?ll say that I would be more comfortable managing my rights information in the access/use notes coming from an archives/DACS tradition, but the big weakness for us is that you can?t record atomic rights information in these elements in the accessions module, and according to one offline response I received access/use notes don?t transfer over when you spawn a resource record (which sounds like a bug, can?t believe that was intentional, but I digress). Here?s an idea: should we instead be focusing on moving some of the rights statement functionality to access/use notes and sunsetting the rights module altogether, rather than having parallel places to put the same information? Which leads me to my main point. Hillel, I think you hit the nail on the head: thanks to Max?s helpful replies I now realize that it is beyond the scope of this project to consider how best to manage rights information in ASpace; rather, this project is limited to making some informed improvements to one place a user can manage rights information. So you guys are off the hook! But what about the rest of us thinking about how this bundle of features that add up to ASpace?are we missing a greater opportunity here? I would argue that giving people more than one place to put the same information is questionable product design, and now might be good time to fix that. I think the argument that giving people options is a collegial gesture, but I just don?t buy it.

I also wanted to echo Max?s point that this specification is really addressed at machine-interoperability and improving compliance with community standards (in this case PREMIS). While those of use who pulled together this specification have use cases in mind, and concrete ways in which we intend to use the proposed functionality, I don?t think any of us want to prescribe how data should be recorded in the application for all institutions and all use cases. The community may be able to agree on approaches to recording this data (and I think that conversation is useful and worthwhile), but it seems well outside of the scope of this proposal. I?d also like to point out that the three options for recording rights information that Max laid out exist in the current version of the application (and probably earlier versions as well). This specification doesn?t change that; in essence all it proposes is to make those structured rights statements PREMIS-compliant. In any event, let?s keep the feedback coming! Hillel ----------- Hillel Arnold Assistant Director, Head of Digital Programs Rockefeller Archive Center 914.366.6382 From: > on behalf of Maureen Callahan > Reply-To: Archivesspace Users Group > Date: Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 4:31 PM To: Archivesspace Users Group > Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Community review of Rights Management Enhancements specification Dear Max and others, I'm so happy to see these proposed enhancements to the rights subrecord to bring it in better alignment with PREMIS. This looks dope, and it looks like it will make integration with digital preservation systems much easier. Thanks too for laying out the options for recording rights information, Max. There are a couple of things that I would add from my perspective of having worked on the requirements for enhanced conditions governing access and conditions governing use notes that I would want folks to think about before making description and usage decisions, especially since I know there are a lot of new adopters of 1.5.x who may not have fully explored this functionality. Looking at the underlying standards that govern a record in ArchivesSpace is important, and part of the reason that we decided to work on conditions governing access/use was because we were interested in using DACS guidance for aggregated materials. Doing description outside of the content standard -- rather, in lieu of the content standard used for all other records -- seems pretty iffy to me. If it were me, I would use DACS elements for archival description and PREMIS elements for digital preservation activities. As you say, the rights module will be very good for recording atomic rights information on a PREMIS model. But if you're looking at an aggregation of materials that may have children records, ArchivesSpace won't know that the rights subrecord applies to the physical, lower-level objects that circulate in boxes the same way that it knows about access/use notes -- as is appropriate! I haven't yet seen a full articulation of the difference between rights and conditions governing access/use, beyond what we had created at Yale and Mary had circulated, but it seems like conditions governing access/use are now very good with DACS principle 7, in a way that there's no expectation for PREMIS rights statements to be. Indeed, the enhancements to access/use notes in 1.5.x use the archival principles of inheritance in a way that the rights subrecord does not plan to. In 1.5.x, if a series is marked as being available for research use in 2027, ArchivesSpace knows that all of the top containers in that series are not open until 2027. It won't know this about containers if rights subrecords are used (because rights subrecords are based on PREMIS, which is about electronic records -- although there's a role for aggregation in describing electronic records too, of course). Finally, a big part of the migration from Archivists' Toolkit to ArchivesSpace at Yale had to do with reconciling non-standard usage of AT. There had been good reasons, I know, for using fields and records in non-standard ways in AT at Yale, but the result was 80% of my time and 80% of another colleague's time for six months (and thousands of dollars toward contract programmers) to put the data back where it was expected so that it could go into ArchivesSpace smoothly. You don't want to go through that if you can avoid it. Plus, beyond the PUI, your EAD won't have the relevant access/use information you need, which may be fine eventually but for now won't work for inclusion in ArchiveGrid and a number of other projects that rely on EAD. Since I'm away from Yale and this work now, I'd love to hear what others who are using 1.5.x think about this.

The primary reasoning behind this specification is to support atomic and thus machine-actionable rights statements in ArchivesSpace. However, these statements, like you said, can also be used as descriptive elements, and could display in ArchivesSpace public displays (in ArchivesSpace or in other discovery systems). At the end of this process, if/when this specification is implemented, users will have at least three basic options: 1. Use only Conditions Governing Access/Use notes. 2. Use only the Rights module. 3. Use the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes in conjunction with the Rights module in the way I described above or in some other way (the "we" I was referring to earlier was just the group of us that did some research and wrote up the rights module). This approach accommodates the various ways institutions already use and want to use rights statements. Users recording rights data in the Rights module should have the ability to publish (or not publish) to the PUI. I talked with Brad briefly about this; sounds like it will need to be reflected in the specification and the PUI group will need to be informed to account for this change in its work. The specifics of that (what displays, what doesn't, etc.) seem like they'd still need to be worked out. Finally, this enhancement work should not result in any data being lost. While some current fields (like the ones you mentioned--these and others are written out in the "Removals" section of the "Data Migrations" table) are being transferred to others that support atomic statements. Actually, the current Permissions/Restrictions field is a good case in point. The migration scenarios provided in the specification indicate these changes and what is to happen to current data, in this case being transferred to an "Act" note with an appropriate label. Hope this helps and thanks again for the feedback! Max On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 9:35 AM, Jordon Steele > wrote: Thanks for your response, Max. When you say ?we,? do you mean the Technical Advisory Council? And please forgive my limited understanding about the functions of the ASpace groups, but should the decision about the pros and cons of integration and redundancy rest with the TAC or the User Advisory Council?or Governance? My cursory understanding is that the UAC advises the TAC on what feature enhancements the TAC should implement. Maybe UAC and TAC have discussed this? To your point that the Rights module only should be used to manage machine-actionable rights information, unless you plan to change something in the enhancements, currently a user is not required to use the Rights module only for this purpose?there are notes fields that one can use to put rights statements that could easily live in access/use notes, too, and the machine-actionable features are not required to create a rights record. Also, an important implication that one of my staff mentioned yesterday is that it?s possible the public user interface development going on does not account for institutions that choose to put their access/use information in the rights module. Have there been discussions with the PUI group about this? Speaking of granularity, I have a more granular request: your attachments are useful, but it appears you have not provided a list of elements that would be eliminated if these enhancements were adopted. For instance, looking at your wireframes, it would appear that the free-text fields of ?permissions? and ?restrictions? would go away. I don?t really have an opinion right now on whether that?s a good idea or not, but it would be helpful if you could provide us with a list of fields you?re proposing to remove.

This issue about the pairing of Conditions Governing Access/Use notes and the Rights module has definitely come up in our conversations. Borrowing some language from these conversations, at least for the moment we see the statements in the ArchivesSpace Rights module being used in conjunction with rights/access statements supported in the Conditions Governing Access and Conditions Governing Use notes. The Rights module statements are for granular, actionable statements, whereas the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes are for summary, non-actionable statements, and instructions, where appropriate, for contacting rights holders. That may turn out to be an unnecessary redundancy, and clearly there are folks like you that make a good case for that in theory and in practice, but that's at least our thinking for now. Thanks again for your input! It really is very much appreciated! Max On Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 11:59 AM, Jordon Steele > wrote: Max, These enhancements look good to us, thanks for your efforts. We?ve been discussing at JHU the overlap and, frankly, similarity between what sort of information the Rights Management module is trying to capture and the Conditions Governing Access/Use notes are used for, and we?re not seeing a difference in concept between the two. ?Archivists have always used the Access/Use notes? or ?Access/Use notes are an EAD/DACS/AT hold-over? may be factually accurate but they are not strong cases for continuing use. So for the sake of not over-complicating the ASpace data model--where equally valid locations for putting the same type of information proliferate and, therefore, confuse?my main feedback is that you/the community/whoever take a good look at integration between the access/use notes and the rights management module. (After review of the responses I received from the ASpace listserv and internal discussion, JHU has decide to stop using the Access/Use notes and begin to use the Rights sub-records to manage information about what people are allowed and not allowed to do with all of our collections?analog and digital.)

The primary aim of this specification is to enable the expression of standards-based rights statements that are atomic and actionable and that support data transfers with other applications using rights statements, such as Archivematica. We have completed a draft specification, and are now asking for community review and feedback. The attached packet includes: * a summary of the enhancements requested in the specification and their purpose; * a spreadsheet containing: * 1) the data model being proposed for the rights management module in ArchivesSpace, * 2) the data migrations necessary for moving data in the current data model to the new data model, * 3) a chart indicating the data elements to be migrated from Archivematica to ArchivesSpace, and * 4) a data map illustrating how PREMIS rights elements are supported in Archivematica and ArchivesSpace; and * ten wire frames illustrating how the proposed data model should be reflected in the ArchivesSpace staff interface. If you need some orientation to the way that PREMIS Rights Statements are used (regardless of whether these are authored in ArchivesSpace), see the attached PDF. Please take a look. Brad Westbrook (brad.westbrook at lyrasis.org), Hillel Arnold (harnold at rockarch.org) and/or myself (eckardm at umich.edu) are happy to answer any questions that you may have and to receive feedback on the specification by Friday, October 21, 2016.

We met in person in Chicago. During the meeting, I was honored to be elected to another term as chair for 2016-2018. We were pleased to welcome three new board members: ? Alston Cobourn is the Digital Scholarship Librarian at Washington and Lee University. She represents the small membership level. ? Gregor Trinkhaus-Randall is the new liaison to the ArchivesSpace Board from the LYRASIS Board. He was most recently the Vice Chair of the LYRASIS board and a former SAA President. Gregor succeeds Jay Schafer as the LYRASIS Board Liaison. We thank Jay for his service. ? Audra Eagle Yun is the Head of Special Collections & Archives and University Archivist from University of California, Irvine. She represents the very large membership level. We know that your highest priority is the continued improvement of the functionality of the software and we are working to ensure the best processes to achieve that. In Chicago, we unanimously agreed to change the budgeted Developer position to a Tech Lead position. This will allow for stronger technical leadership on behalf of and in engagement with the community, more proactive code contribution from both the user community and the Tech Lead Position itself, and better coordination with 3rd party vendor code development. Upgrading this position will not slow down any of the hiring process or the technical development process. The Board?s continuing objective is to ensure that membership dues are invested in the most effective way to meet the community?s needs. We also approved a plan for increasing support for members. The ArchivesSpace staff and the ArchivesSpace member community are excellent resources, but sometimes members have more advanced technical questions. This fall, we will be working with LYRASIS Technology Services to offer a part time support position to answer technical questions on a wide variety of topics, such upgrading to v1.5, local installations, data migrations, and more. We will be finalizing this arrangement in the weeks ahead and will have a more formal announcement soon. Other areas covered during the 1st Quarter Board meeting included: ? Reviewing training options - training videos were added to the ArchivesSpace wiki in the last quarter and are seeing high use; we continue to explore new ways to strengthen training opportunities ? Working to update the ASpace membership agreement ? Developing the process and timeline of the 5 year organizational home review which will be coming due in June of 2018 In closing, while we are not resting on our laurels, I am very happy to report that the ArchivesSpace program is fiscally sustainable, is vibrant and is growing at a steady rate. As of September, there are 301 members across the five membership levels, 10 Educational members, and three Registered Service Providers hosting 65 ArchivesSpace databases. The Board welcomes your communications and comments to any and all of us, and we extend our thanks to all of you for your continuing support and ongoing contributions to the community we are building. Respectfully, Carol A. Mandel Chair, ArchivesSpace Governance Board -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There were no indications in the Error log that these were missed except for the total count of Resources and Resources copied so no help in the log. Interestingly, we tracked them down and it was a set of 6 Resource records in coll # sequence in ATK. I then exported the EAD xml from ATK for each of the 6 resources and tried the Import job. Failed on all 6 records. Something to do with 'cdata' but I couldn't make out the error enough and the XML looked fine to me - and like the EAD xml of another record from the same ATK. Ultimately, we've decided to re-enter the data into ArchivesSpace since they are Resources for very small collections. All of the associated component records did transfer so it's a matter of linking up Agents/Subjects and Accession records for the most part. If someone is interested in looking at the xml and figuring out what was wonky I'm happy to share (for a collection with 1 item). Kari R.

Message-ID: Announcement to the ArchivesSpace Community As part of the strategy to move the ArchivesSpace code development forward more quickly, LYRASIS, the Organizational Home for ArchivesSpace is pleased to announce a long-term development partnership agreement has been signed with Hudson Molonglo (HM). This partnership will run for the duration of the fiscal year. The primary goal is to allow HM to focus on high-impact code development while the ArchivesSpace community continues to grow code contributions from within. Why is this partnership important? We know that one of your highest priorities is the improved functionality of the software. As such, HM will begin immediate work on identified bug fixes and minor improvements to improve efficiency. In November, work will commence on more intricate stack improvements, new feature development and the creation of a development road map. Work will follow the path as outlined in the ArchivesSpace development catalog and/or prioritized by the ArchivesSpace Prioritization sub team. In sum, we are delighted to be partnering with HM. As many of you know, HM built version 1.0 of ArchivesSpace and has been responsible for significant code contributions since, including the new container management functionality and location enhancements present in the 1.5.0 release. HM is also currently working on the highly anticipated Public User Interface. This partnership will not slow the ongoing effort to hire the Tech Lead Position. We look forward to working together for the benefit of the ArchivesSpace community!

He will be missed. Brad has worked tirelessly since 2013 to help position ASpace for success in the community. He was one of the original architects of the Archivists Toolkit when he was at UCSD, and has been instrumental in bringing the software to archivists ever since. In his role at ArchivesSpace, he has helped navigate the myriad issues associated with bringing a new software service to the community. Brad?s familiar face was often seen at SAA and the many events, conferences and hackathons that he participated in or led. Fortunately, Brad will remain in his position for the next six weeks with the ArchivesSpace program and LYRASIS, the Organizational Home, to help find a suitable replacement. He will also help in the recruiting and hiring of a tech lead. While November 30th will be his last day as Program Manager, Brad has kindly agreed to continue working with ASpace on dedicated projects after that. We will announce more details on that as specific plans are confirmed. Laurie Gemmill Arp, Director of Collections Services and Community Supported Software at the LYRASIS Organizational Home, to whom Brad reports, will work closely with Brad and Christine Di Bella during this transition to ensure that commitments are reviewed and kept. We wish Brad well in his future endeavors. If there are questions, please feel free to reach out to me, Robert Miller, CEO of LYRASIS which is the Organizational Home for ASpace (robert.miller at lyrasis.org).

With versions 1.5 of ArchivesSpace, we are no longer using any plugins for container and location management at Yale. In addition to the features added to the core code from Yale's plugin for container management (described here http://guides.library.yale.edu/archivesspace/ASpaceContainerManagement), versions 1.5 of ArchivesSpace also include some nifty new methods for location management, which were developed by our colleagues at NYU (described here http://guides.nyu.edu/archivesspace/development#s-lg-box-10702482). All of which is to say that I don't think that a separate plugin for container/location management is required. There are still some additional features that are desired (e.g. the ability to merge containers, including when staff users use the resource merge function), but I expect that such features and other enhancements will be added directly to the core code moving forward.

Or do you think AS has sufficient location/barcode/space management that a separate plug-in is not needed. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I think your options are: 1. Figure out why the 6 records did not migrate (did you see any issues reported in the migration error log?), fix the issues, and run the entire ATK to ASpace migration again 2. Export the 6 resources from ATK as EAD and import the EAD into ASpace. If you choose option 2, you?ll lose some of the relationships you may have established in ATK between the resource record and other record types, particularly accession records. We encountered a similar problem during our ATK to ASpace migration and chose option 1, iteratively solving the problems reported in the migration error log and then re-running the migration tool. -Noah ================ Noah Huffman Archivist for Metadata, Systems, and Digital Records David M.

We thought it would be helpful to summarize where things are and provide the overall plan for the near future so you have a good picture of our roadmap in one email. HM Development Partner We are pleased to have Hudson Molonglo (HM) http://hudsonmolonglo.com/ as a development partner. For the next year, HM will work on bug fixes, stack improvements, new feature development and the creation of a development road map. They will be providing support to address high priority development needs while the new technical lead works with the ArchivesSpace community on code contributions from within. This two-pronged approach will have a substantial, positive short- and long-term impact on the software. HM's work will follow the path as outlined in the ArchivesSpace development catalog and/or as prioritized by the ArchivesSpace Prioritization sub team. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Development+Prioritization+sub-team Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)/User Advisory Committee (UAC) The TAC and UAC continue to thrive and provide opportunities for individuals from member institutions to participate and help advance the software. HM will be working with both Councils and in particular the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and its sub-teams. Technical Lead The search for the new Technical Lead is well underway. This position will be responsible for the overall development of the software and will work to engage a broader set of developers to participate in the program, providing technical guidance, support and leadership to create a robust developer community. We have received numerous applications for the position and have started the review process and initial interviews. Program Manager As announced last week, Brad Westbrook will soon step down as the ArchivesSpace inaugural Program Manager, after three years of outstanding service. His last day as full-time Program Manager will be November 30. We have initiated the search for a new Program Manager and will be posting the position announcement soon. The Program Manager is central to the success of the program, working closely and collaboratively with the ArchivesSpace community, advisory groups, and Board to develop strategy and goals. The Program Manager will be involved in all aspects of the program, and will be a key spokesperson and advocate for the program. We will be seeking someone with strong experience with archives, technology projects, software development and in building consensus across a diverse group of perspectives. Conducting searches for the Technical Lead and Program Manager at the same time allows us the opportunity to think more broadly about the program's needs, with an eye toward hiring for those needs in a more comprehensive way. The LYRASIS Org. Home looks forward to working together with the ArchivesSpace community-including its members, the program team, the Governance Board, TAC/UAC, and HM-to continue to advance ArchivesSpace.

Message-ID: Dear all, My institution is migrating into ASpace and using the Public User Interface, and we're hoping to completely transition out of our old system/user interface by the end of 2016. Because of the issue with tags/@render attributes showing up as text instead of displaying as italics etc. (AR-1234-we've noticed this in the "title" field, example here: https://archives.lib.wvu.edu/repositories/2/archival_objects/328) , we're trying to find a workaround for one of our most prominent collections, the Pearl Buck Literary Manuscripts, which has a LOT of folder titles that include italics (you can see the S/C note and contents list here https://findingaids.lib.wvu.edu/cgi/f/findaid/findaid-idx?c=wvcguide;cc=wvcguide;type=simple;rgn=Entire%20Finding%20Aid;q1=4052;view=reslist;subview=standard;sort=occur;start=1;size=25;didno=4052;focusrgn=scopecontent;byte=24750517&newsid=1). I thought we could try to put the contents list of each series in the series Scope and Content Note until the bug is fixed (so our italics won't look ugly to the public), but when I tried that, saved the record, and tried to navigate around in that resource record, I got something about "an error occurred" and "FULL head" - we were able to fix that with help from a previous listserv exchange--see http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/mailman/htdig/archivesspace_users_group/2016-March/003316.html-- but our Systems person doesn't want to leave the fix in place, which means I can't put that much text in the Scope and Content Note. I had this issue in version 1.4.2, but we're in the middle of moving to 1.5.1. TL;DR Does anyone know how many characters can fit into a sub note without breaking it? Any other ideas on how to present this massive contents list to the public until the italics-related bug is fixed would also be welcome.

We are getting ready (at long last!) to migrate from Archon to ArchivesSpace at Northwestern University. Currently we have a customized EAD Export from Archon that writes an value that can be stuck to the end of a static URL to create a link back to the finding aid in our customized portal. The portal we use now is a Blacklight interface that draws from finding aids stored in Fedora. When we move to ArchivesSpace, we'll be using the ArchivesSpace PUI instead of the Fedora/Blacklight setup. My question is whether there's a way to export an element either with a url attribute that contains a full URL to the finding aid in the PUI or with an identifier attribute that can be used to build a URL. We are currently using the EAD exported from Archon to create records for ingest into our Primo discovery layer and I'd like to continue doing this with ArchivesSpace. I saw this question raised about a year ago in the Google Group for ArchivesSpace, but the only response was a suggestion to copy the URL from the finding aid in the PUI into the EAD Location field in the Finding Aid Data sub-record in the staff interface before exporting the EAD. We have over 1100 finding aids that we're going to have to reharvest into Primo (not to mention ArchiveGrid and the Chicago Collections website) with updated URLs, and I just don't see that as a good option for us. I though perhaps I could use the URL that appear in the staff interface (like this one): http://archival2-d.library.northwestern.edu:8080/resources/53/edit#finding_aid to build the URL that appears in the public user interface (like this one): http://archival2-d.library.northwestern.edu:8081/repositories/2/resources/53 but that requires knowing the repository that holds the resource. I suppose that could be gotten from the filedesc\publicationstmt, but it seems a little inelegant, and perhaps dicey as well. Has anybody else come up with an elegant solution to this issue? I can't imagine we're the only institution that's repurposing our EAD. Any suggestions are appreciated! Karen Karen D.

We are getting ready (at long last!) to migrate from Archon to ArchivesSpace at Northwestern University. Currently we have a customized EAD Export from Archon that writes an value that can be stuck to the end of a static URL to create a link back to the finding aid in our customized portal. The portal we use now is a Blacklight interface that draws from finding aids stored in Fedora. When we move to ArchivesSpace, we?ll be using the ArchivesSpace PUI instead of the Fedora/Blacklight setup. My question is whether there?s a way to export an element either with a url attribute that contains a full URL to the finding aid in the PUI or with an identifier attribute that can be used to build a URL. We are currently using the EAD exported from Archon to create records for ingest into our Primo discovery layer and I?d like to continue doing this with ArchivesSpace. I saw this question raised about a year ago in the Google Group for ArchivesSpace, but the only response was a suggestion to copy the URL from the finding aid in the PUI into the EAD Location field in the Finding Aid Data sub-record in the staff interface before exporting the EAD. We have over 1100 finding aids that we?re going to have to reharvest into Primo (not to mention ArchiveGrid and the Chicago Collections website) with updated URLs, and I just don?t see that as a good option for us. I though perhaps I could use the URL that appear in the staff interface (like this one): http://archival2-d.library.northwestern.edu:8080/resources/53/edit#finding_aid to build the URL that appears in the public user interface (like this one): http://archival2-d.library.northwestern.edu:8081/repositories/2/resources/53 but that requires knowing the repository that holds the resource. I suppose that could be gotten from the filedesc\publicationstmt, but it seems a little inelegant, and perhaps dicey as well. Has anybody else come up with an elegant solution to this issue? I can?t imagine we?re the only institution that?s repurposing our EAD. Any suggestions are appreciated! Karen Karen D.
