The keynote address starts at time index 25, A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus, and Historian Pierre Nora has argued that we are living in an archival age––one in which we seek nothing less than “complete conservation of the present” and “total preservation of the past.” The advent of digital media has aided this project, but also exposed its futility, and in turn compounded our archival obsession, which Nora reminds us is rooted in anxiety about the meaning of the present, a sense of alienation from our collective past, and broader fears of cultural––or human––annihilation. In “Sites of Memory, Acts of Erasure,” Heidi Aronson Kolk will explore the unusual potency of the well-preserved material archive, while challenging us to consider its dark twin––the site of erasure, forgetting and annihilation. Her presentation will engage subjects introduced in her book, Taking Possession

Description:
A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus and Although it feels like we just migrated from CONTENTdm to Hydra/Fedora 3, it's time to adjust course back to Hyrax! Oregon Digital's Metadata Team will talk about strategies and challenges with metadata preparation, remediation before migration begins and mapping updates. The Migration Team will talk about the gem we're building, hyrax-migrator, to allow us to migrate over 465,000 assets (files and metadata). We’ll cover the design and implementation of the gem which supports migrating assets both locally (for dev and testing) and remotely (for production, on AWS S3), and share our progress with a batch of about 1000 ‘seed data’ assets, as well as our goals for scaling up in the coming months.

13. A Partner’s Perspective: Community before Code

Description:
A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus and Northwestern University Libraries (NUL) became a Hydra Partner in early 2012. Over the past 7+ years, we produced bespoke applications locally using the Hydra/Samvera codebase, worked on many iterations of a stand-alone grant-funded Hydra/Samvera product with another Partner institution, contributed effort to the development of Hyrax, implemented Hyrax as a component in a larger repository ecosystem, and shifted our repository services to the cloud. As we have evolved, we have gone through many changes in our local culture, in our user needs, in our codebase, and with our talent. One of the organizational culture changes is the shift of NUL to a learning organization. This change has made us more risk tolerant than in the past. It has allowed NUL to solve its local need of large-scale fast ingestion and description using novel approaches and technologies (Elixir, AWS services, Lambdas, etc). This presentation will discuss how these organizational changes and approaches to technology projects made us privilege the value of Samvera as a community of shared values and ideas over its shared codebase.

15. Making Good Decisions: Taking a Hyrax Application From Development to Production

Description:
A panel presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus and As a Hyrax application developer, setting up a development environment is well documented within the community. Simply go through the Github README, install the prerequisites, and the development environment is practically ready to roll. Setting up a Hyrax production environment? Now, that’s a different story. Once an application is ready for production, there are a number of important decision points and configuration options that are less well documented within the community. This session will highlight some of those configuration options and include a discussion about how we can move forward, as a community, in communicating, sharing, and documenting how the characteristics of a repository should be considered before setting up a Hyrax production environment.

16. Consortial Hyku for Open Educational Resources

Description:
This presentation will explore the development of Hyku for Open Educational Resources — openly licensed educational materials such as textbooks, quizzes, classroom activities, etc. — while capitalizing on Hyku's multi-tenancy and sharing of infrastructure across two large groups of libraries. The PALCI and PALNI consortia (representing libraries in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, West Virginia and Indiana) have just received a two year IMLS National Leadership Grant to develop Hyku into a multi-tenant, consortia-based service capable of handling OER in addition to other institutional repository resource types. In addition to leveraging collective expertise through consortia, two new work types are being developed for OER and electronic thesis and dissertations. This presentation will focus on the first work type being developed for OER , describing the features and uses of these resources, how the new work type model is being developed, and examine why Hyku and the Open Source Software community is a great home for this project. and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

18. How Meta is your Metadata? : Designing a Meta-Metadata Specification for Hyrax

Description:
As most Hyrax adopters know, Hyrax offers a basic set of metadata properties that it assigns to each new work type. Most adopters will extend that set, to a greater or lesser degree, adding new properties, defining vocabularies and terms lists, and setting other constraints and requirements. Adding new metadata is a complicated process in Hyrax, and there are various ways in which developers have worked to streamline things (eg. scooby snacks, dog biscuits and archetypes). But before we even get to customising a Hyrax application, metadata librarians and developers must collaborate on specifying the metadata requirements. With no community machine-readable approach to defining those requirements, misunderstandings are common, and can be costly. With a machine-readable specification for metadata, metadata librarians could accurately specify requirements and developers could validate and codify those into applications. That’s where the Machine-readable Metadata Modeling Specification (M3) steps in. The specification is the output of the M3 Working Group and is nearing its version 1.0 release. This presentation will provide a walkthrough of the specification, show how to construct and validate a new M3 profile, and illustrate the benefits of M3 for both metadata specialists and developers. and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

19. ESS Images and Collaboratively Improving Management of Digital Collections Using Hyrax

Description:
Since 2014, partners from Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Libraries have been collaboratively developing new Samvera-based software to manage and deliver page turning digital objects. In 2018, conversations with Enterprise Scholarly Systems (ESS), a partnership between IUB Libraries, IUPUI Libraries, and University Information Technology Services (UITS), expanded our project's scope. This presentation will highlight our development efforts, now known as the ESS Images project or ESSI. In the past year, the ESSI team has developed numerous improvements to the Hyrax digital repository software. These improvements include the ability to order, structure, and label pages within an item, replicating features available in the Pages Online service launched in 2017. Additionally, the project has implemented optical character recognition search in a community-accepted way, building upon components of the IMLS-funded Samvera Newspaper Works application. We will also discuss upcoming improvements for our existing image collections. In these collections, images often have wildly different metadata profiles from each other. Our recent work has aimed to incorporate a model for flexible metadata developed by the Samvera Machine-readable Metadata Modeling Specification (M3) Working Group within Hyrax. We will be discussing the output of this work as well. and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

Join us for an update on Avalon metadata in Hyrax. The Avalon Media System is an open source system for managing and providing access to collections of digital audio and video. The project is led by the libraries of Indiana University Bloomington and Northwestern University and is funded in part by grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. We are working to incorporate Avalon descriptive, technical, and structural metadata into Hyrax, the open-source repository front end from the Samvera Community, creating an AudiovisualWork that can be added to Hyrax as a gem alongside other work types (like GenericWork and Image). We will share our progress so far, including mappings for bibliographic import functionality and how things look different between Avalon 6 and Avalon in Hyrax. Avalon in Hyrax will also be available as a standalone Hyrax application so we are both letting the Hyrax in and letting the Avalon out! Come see how these two critters are getting along! and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

28. What's in our backlogs?

Description:
I will use Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning techniques to analyze issue backlogs in applications from institutions throughout the community. I will apply a variety of techniques in an attempt to answer questions like, What kinds of open issues do we have in general as a community? Can I extract an interesting set of widely-desired features or widely-held use cases? Can I identify connections that might lead to collaboration across institutions? What solutions already exist that might advance open issues? Can I link open issues in one backlog to merged PRs in another repository? What have people been working on recently? Can we characterize the full set of issues that have been closed over the past year? What patterns of development do repositories follow? Can we describe the life cycle of repository development by aligning issues based on their creation / completion dates relative to the initial commit? These may or may not be the exact questions my talk will address, depending on the direction the project naturally takes. I will focus on applications in use or under development at institutions, as opposed to community-maintained engines and core gems. This talk will describe my process, results, and evaluate the success of the endeavor., and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

29. Accessibility in Hyku

Description:
Federal law requires a standard of accessibility on any project that receives federal funds. Creating accessible applications is also socially responsible, and implementing these practices can help us set better expectations as community leaders. In a community dedicated to preservation and providing access to to a broad range of assets, accessibility standards should be a priority. We'll explain audits and certification levels, as well as accessibility features that could provide significant value to digital repositories. Using Hyku as an example, a developer will demonstrate practices that are easy to incorporate into the dev process, as well as demo practical examples. and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019, originally titled "Accessibility Audits & Upgrades in Samvera", described thus

30. Sustaining a Large-Scale Repository Architecture: Behind the Scenes of the Stanford Digital Repository

Description:
In 2006, Stanford Libraries built the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR). The system has served us well—thirteen years later, SDR contains over 2.0 million objects (~500 terabytes of content). We built SDR using open-source software (including Samvera, Fedora, and Blacklight) and an additional ~300,000 lines of custom code. We believe it is among the largest and most complex repository systems in research libraries, and yet the challenges we face are common. We have grown SDR to a point where it is extremely difficult for us to sustain. Some of our foundational technologies are not only aging but are beyond end-of-life. Meanwhile, we are challenged to continue offering a valuable, performant, highly-available repository service to our stakeholders. Over the past two years, we have analyzed the factors complicating sustainability, that work has led to operational changes that improve the current state and a plan for sustaining repository development combining open-source and custom software. Our presentation highlights the reasons SDR became unsustainable and shares areas where we have made improvements and where we go next. We believe the lessons we have learned are widely applicable to institutions that develop their own repository solutions., and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

33. Michigan's Repository Technology Plans

Description:
A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus and This presentation will be a high level overview of the University of Michigan Library's plans for repository technology development. Themes, principles, and plans will be shared. We are continuously challenged to expand our capabilities and extend our reach to match the rapid evolution of research and scholarship in the digital age. We have seen unprecedented rates of content growth in recent years as our campus partners have also advanced in the digital realm. It is no longer just about texts and images. Research data, audio, moving images, and all kinds of complex born-digital materials like enhanced e-books have entered into the scene. The Library has very intentionally placed itself in the center of campus activities for more than two decades. We aspire now, as much as ever, to provide innovative solutions for this unique set of circumstances and uphold our commitments far into the future. We are building next generation infrastructure for digital preservation and access that is adaptable, scalable and sustainable as the needs of campus continue to change.

36. Authority data: the good, the dirty and the semantic

Description:
A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019, originally titled"Questioning Authority, Questioning authority is a Samvera developed gem that provides a standard way of accessing external authority controlled vocabularies. As part of the Mellon Foundation-funded Linked Data for Production (LD4P) project, this gem was expanded to include a module for general processing of authorities that provide linked data regardless of ontology. This module leverages the existing normalized data format of QA and expands it to include extended context allowing for more accurate selections. Also part of this work was the development of QaServer which is an engine from which you can build a standalone Rails app acting as a service point for submitting queries to QA. The QaServer includes a management UI to explore the availability of authorities and the performance of requests. We will look at recent enhancements to QA, the QaServer UI, a caching system for linked data authorities without an API, metadata entry using extended context, and how we’ve leveraged linked data in some of our user facing applications., and Connecting to Authorities through Linked Data", described thus

37. Redesigning BrowseEverything

Description:
A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus and BrowseEverything is a Gem which provides developers with an API and a set of user interface components for uploading files from cloud storage services and Samvera repository applications. As a core component, this Gem is actively maintained by members of the Samvera Community, and within the past year has had an interest group chartered in order to provide some set of guidance around its continued use and development. While previous releases of BrowseEverything have proven to be robust and sufficient in providing file upload functionality to Samvera applications (most notably, various releases of Hyrax), there exist a number of architectural changes for the codebase which have long been considered necessary in order to improve the user experience provided by the user interface components for the Gem. These will include standardizing the API in order to facilitate those who wish to develop additional drivers for currently unsupported cloud storage solutions. This presentation aims to outline the future proposed changes to the Gem itself, as well as to demonstrate the upcoming design changes for the user interface components. Insight and direction from attendees will be welcome, as we invite all interested parties in shaping the roadmap for this Gem.

Description:
Participants will leave with ideas and methods for how to receive, prioritize, and plan multiple concurrent Library IT projects by taking into consideration the complexity, cost, and impact This half-day hands-on workshop will introduce participants to Michigan’s “Front Door” request intake and cycle planning process. At Michigan, we have designed a cycle planning process to gather requests of all kinds, rate and review, and finally, assign resources as appropriate. The workshop is intended to be a simulation of the cycle planning process from intake to resource planning exercise. The participants will get a feel of how requests are rated and reviewed for cost, complexity, and impact. We will be sharing the tools and templates used at Michigan for reviewing the requests, planning the cycle, and assessing the works’ progress throughout the cycle. and Slides from a workshop given at Samvera Connect 2019 and described thus

Description:
A preliminary understanding of geospatial metadata An elementary understanding of linked geospatial metadata Practical metadata modeling for Hyrax An introduction to RDF Graph stores for linked spatial data Methods for analyzing spatial linked data as RDF Graphs This workshop aims to provide a set of overviews and technical exercises which shall provide participants with an understanding of linked geospatial data, and what role it could serve within a Samvera repository application. The objective of the exercises will be to provide participants with experience modeling geospatial metadata for Samvera repository resources. Building upon this, an understanding of how this linked geospatial metadata may be indexed for content discovery, or exported into separate platforms for analysis, shall be demonstrated. As much of this work is derived from the undertakings of the Geo. Predicates Working Group, striving to remain aligned with larger community web standards (such as those published by the W3C) should be considered the proper context for any practical usage of linked geospatial metadata. and Slides from a workshop given at Samvera Connect 2019 and described thus
