Agenda

Notes

Library of Congress web updates

Aaron and Robin met with Nate Trail and Glenn Gardner to strategize updates to the METS site at LoC. The plan is to organize the requested changes into prioritized phases:

  • those dealing with METS2
  • updates to METS1 pages to distinguish from METS2 as needed
  • other updates

Aaron will group the change requests and Board members should claim and review/comment on individual changes.

Other specifics:

  • Update the existing METS Schema & Documentation page to specify METS 1
  • To limit the maintenance needs, on the METS2 page at LoC only link without a version number to the latest [METS2] schema in Github, to provide an imprimatur that is valuable to some organizations. Link to Github for documentation.
  • Eventually link to METS2 profiles on Github and link to them rather than host them at LoC.

Call for new board members

Inge will review and draft edits of the Board Membership Criteria and Board Business Procedures for Board review, for discussion at the next meeting.

Plan to update those pages on Github, remove the pages from the LoC site, update LoC links to point to Github.

GitHub task list

  • Board members should start proofreading Github Primer pages. See ticket #16 and add comments on which you take.
  • Other updates to documentation are still needed on Github, but are not a prerequisite for the changes to the LoC site.
  • Karin found a long out-of-date "Active Tasks" page (https://github.com/mets/METS-board/wiki/Active-Tasks) that should be removed.

Next meeting

  • March 12
