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.

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.
