Design Schedule
  • June 2004-August 2005 - Development of design specification.
  • July 2005-Early 2006 - Design of the prototype
  • Early 2006-June 2006 - Testing and refining prototype

  Use Case
Methodology:
    • The "Use Case" methodology is a means of defining the requirements of a system based on the goals of the users of that system. This ensures that the study is focused on the requirements of the users. . . The point of the "use case" approach is that it doesn’t matter what the architecture is because that comes later. The use case are simply a way of defining what people want to achieve.

18
"Standards"
  • Standards
  • Standards will be imposed on:
    • the structure of the toolkit
    • the various metadata elements of a record.

19
"Input standards"
  • Input standards:
      • International Council On Archives’ ISAD(G): International Standard Archival Description
      • DA:CS (creator, scope notes, biog hist, etc.)
      • MODS, EAD, AMIA, MARC, VRA Core, etc. as a point of reference to guide the content and the extent of the descriptive metadata proposed for descriptive elements.

Design Overview
21
Data management not in scope for this design phase:
  • Comprehensive preservation functionality
  • Collection usage data
  • Ingest of most legacy data
  • Technical Metadata for digital objects beyond text and image
  • Robust donor management data

24
Resource ID
  • The resource ID: a key element
25
Administration/Project Management
  • Levels of access to database
  • Setting repository defaults
  • Setting project parameters
  • Reviewing audit information
26
Accessions
  • No accession records will exist without a resource ID being assigned to it.
  • Many accessions can have the same resource ID.
  • Only one resource ID may be linked to an accession.


27
 
28
Locations
  • Applied to resource ID
  • Any container can be given a location
29
Subjects and Names
  • Authority tables will exist for a repository’s names and subjects
  • Applicable to accessions and resource  descriptions

31
Audit
  • Track which user made changes to the database and when.
  • Monitor productivity of users.
32
Resource Description
  • Describe collections down to 12 levels of hierarchy (same as EAD)
  • Link to digital objects or analog derivatives  from any resource or resource component in the resource hierarchy
  • Ability to store wide array of data on objects in a collection
33
 
34
Hierarchical display
  • Resource navigation
  • Entry access
  • Overview of hierarchy
