I think we could talk about MODS
I think we could talk about other types of metadata too. I’d like to talk about PREMIS.
I’d like to suggest an unconference topic of migration from distributed resources into a singular Fedora model.
What about metadata in general or working on crosswalks such as FGDC to MODS?
Handling crosswalks in general…
So many topics … just one day!
Handling large files (multi-gigabytes)
How do other repositories do check-summing for files?
Is anyone using journaling, for example journaling for a mirrored site?
Authentication in Fedora: what do you use? what scenarios require authentication?
Using new features in Fedora, e.g. the new security layer, and messaging services
METS File Section and Structural Maps: Can you share examples of how you manage complex objects in METS? Do you have multiple ARCH files? How do you organize and relate the fileSec, strucMap, and techMD?
I’d like to discuss different mechanisms different institutions use for ingest forms (self archiving) and the batch ingest process. Thanks!
