Breakout Notes from CurateCAMP 2012

  • reviewed strategies we had heard of:
    • EAD-like semantics expressed in RELS-EXT
    • EAD-driven finding aid sites that link to repository item view
      • loss of collection context after link
      • visitors who find the item via search engines are unaware of finding aid
    • identified that encoding/storage of finding aids is not important to users/creators
      • finding aid presentation matters
      • finding aid creation must be supported
      • RDF vs. EAD vs. ? doesn't matter as long as semantics are adequate
  • interesting finding aid implementations or intergrations:
    • item view as javascript pane overlaid on finding aid (Indiana)
    • pulling finding aid context into repository item view
