OpenCasa: Building Partnerships for an Electronic Records Repository
Jackie Esposito, University Archivist and Michelle Belden, Access Archivist, Penn State University
Esposito and Belden discussed the development of the Curation Architecture Prototype Services (CAPS) model at Penn State. The presentation reviewed the project timeline, key roles and partnerships to develop the architecture, use cases, stakeholders input, agile development methodology, user requirements, dashboard interface, and public interface for curated collections. OpenCasa is an architectural model that will support DPubS, ETDs, ContentDM, Olive Digital Newspapers, and the University's Electronic Business records Lion's Lair. The architecture is based on integrating a suite of microservices as needed for each use application.
Laying the Tracks for Electronic Records at an Undergraduate Liberal Arts College
Jennifer Gunter King, Head of Archives And Special Collections at Mount Holyoke College discussed how with NHPRC funding, Mount Holyoke College has established basic workflows and procedures for archiving electronic records from four campus offices. The project utilizes tools that include Duke University’s Data Accessioner, the Archivists Toolkit, a digital preservation system, and Dspace.
Both PowerPoint presentations are available below as PDF documents.
