Hello,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I’m curious about how people are handling digital objects attached to resources in ASpace.<span style="">
</span>If you have created an archival object for which you will attach a digital object as an instance, where do you tend to put the bulk of the descriptive metadata?<span style="">
</span>Or do you duplicate notes and/or children in both the DO and the resource record?<span style="">
</span>How about DO’s dates?<span style=""> </span>Do you tend to record only the date the digital object was created or the dates of the digitized materials within as well?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I am, of course, reluctant to have to type the same data twice.<span style=""> </span>
However, since I will be publishing many of the DOs for public view, I’m inclined to want the same level of detail in both the finding aid and the digital object record.<span style="">
</span>Anyone care to share what you do in this area?</p>
