A page for taking notes on editing archivist-related pages.

Pages to work on? Fedora repository? Dublincore compatible web-systems?


 * Big issue: Lots of very interesting Dublincore compatible software and web frameworks, many of which incorporate open-source as part of an 'open-access' philosophy. Very interesting, but currently not referenced or found - how to connect these to the theoretical pages? Categories? One of the appropriate general digital archiving theory pages?


 * Research and consolidate/list in an appropriate place different acronyms as they fall under different patterns of digital archiving systems.


 * Create "Comparison of Digital Archiving Frameworks" / whatever acronym is most common.

Below is a work in progress, it's a sort of "relation-mapping" of digital archiving ideas/concepts/organizations/pages/info, whatever. It's a sort of mind-map to keep track of the pages I've taken a glance at.

Mapping
Metadata Standards
 * Dublin Core
 * Dublin_Core_Meta_Toolkit
 * Maintained by DCMI (Note, DCMI is not under OAI, it grew with much help under OCLC and OCLC recently let it go off as its own entity)


 * EAC (called EAC-CPF when used with content standard ICA-ISAAR (CPF))
 * Maintained by International_Council_on_Archives
 * Creator, authority data. Often used in pair with EAD but also used to complement other metadata descriptors. DTD & XML schema.


 * EAD DTD
 * Finding aids.
 * XML DTD as of 2002's v2, used. See mapping
 * Society of American Archivists and Library of Congress.


 * MARCXML
 * primarily allowed for use of MARC library catalogue data in an XML format.
 * new library catalog standard
 * made with collaboration with OCLC, OAI,
 * Not made to *replace* general archival metadata standards, meant to replace library cataloguing systems, conglomerating many competing MARC standards into a universal usable one to make it easier to bring library systems into XML age. Not in a position to really be a central tool for all archiving.

To look at:
 * CCLRC
 * OAI-implementers listserv
 * NSDL
 * [stage.dublincore.org/groups/tools/ Dublin Core tools]
 * just some basic searches would be good.
