Digital Library Implementation Responsibilities

Digital Library Implementation Home

This group is the steering committee for the project and these are the high level responsibilities that each of them must manage. Each of these areas will have other people with clearly defined responsibilities working for them.
Thornton Staples: Overall project management and managing the image tool development
Ross Wayland: Fedora consulting and managing disseminator development
Leslie Johnston: Repository ingest and management
Melinda Baumann: Production management
Erin Stahlberg: Metadata issues
Garry Barrow: User interface issues
Guy Mengel: Systems issues
Tim Sigmon: Consulting

Phase 2 of the implementation process is intended to start working out which departments are responsible for what and where the handoffs will be. Below are the current ideas of what those will be.

Production

Who: Digital Library Production Services

What: Coordination of all content selection, new content creation and metadata extraction and creation. Production includes the creation of delivery versions of the content and metadata and depositing them in the appropriate file system under ReadyRepo. If a new collection does not fit into one of the existing content models, request the development of a new content model from Repository Management.

Repository Management

What: Moving the delivery versions of content and metadata into FedoraRepo and processing batches of them to make objects in the digital library. Develop new content models when needed. Be the gatekeeper for the digital library for updates.

Metadata

            What: Development and maintenance of the metadata standards and mappings.

Application Programming

            Who: As Assigned

            What: Develop scripts and programs associated with disseminators and other utilities needed.

Systems

            Who: Library IT Systems

            What: Providing and maintaining the infrastructure for the repository and production associated with it.
