A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2018 described thus and Bridge2Hyku is an IMLS-funded grant project that is building a migration toolkit to assist institutions interested in migrating their digital content to Hyku. The toolkit contains general guidance for migration planning, documentation for software that enables efficient and effective data migration, and an introduction to the Hyku platform. This presentation will provide an overview of the project goals and timeline, an update on project progress, and information about how to contribute to the Bridge2Hyku migration toolkit.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and For metadata specialists, creating metadata profiles, system requirements, and accompanying documentation often feels like a game of whack-a-mole. Current practices and technologies also mean comparing your profiles with another institutions’ is an enormous hassle. To address this problem, developers and metadatists came together to create the machine-readable metadata modeling (M3) specification. This presentation will offer some history and use cases for the specification, an update on its current status, and where to learn more.

A presentation at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and 6,761,224,773 words. 2,823,957 images. 200+ content sources. And a very long tail of unique metadata fields. This will be a "by the numbers" tour of the digital collections at the University of Michigan Library that highlights some of the challenges of designing and building a new repository and access system for our digital collections that can handle scale, variety, growth, and a rich feature set.
A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and Avalon Media System is upgrading it's UI component for handling structural metadata editing for an audio or visual work. The user can select and organize timespans in an AV work by manually typing bounding times and titles, or by interacting with a visual representation of the waveform. Technologies used are Peak.js and ReactJS.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and The Timeliner is a pedagogical tool that was available in the old Variations application, the Avalon predecessor. It allows for a visual representation of the structure of an audio file or fragment. The tool, which will be made available as a standalone, has been reimplemented using IIIF Presentation API v3 for the presentation layer and the IIIF Auth protocol for the integration with Avalon. We will show the tool and also discuss the technical aspects of the IIIF standards.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and I'll present the many contexts in which pair programming can be beneficial in different ways, reasons to use pairing as part of the regular practice of your team, the basic mechanics of how pairing works, prompts for staying mindful of power dynamics while pairing, and ideas for introducing the practice to a team that has never really done it before.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and What if the Hyrax web application were to support and include, by default, controlled vocabularies from marginalized communities? Currently Hyrax supplies a default set of descriptive metadata fields for describing uploaded objects. This set of fields includes Keyword (a required field) and Subject (an optional field). Neither of these fields are controlled by a vocabulary of terms upon install. The Questioning Authority (QA) gem exists as an option to configure and apply controlled vocabularies for use with fields such as these in Hyrax. While QA can be configured to work with nearly any vocabulary, the current vocabularies offered through the gem when it is installed include LCSH/NAF/GFT/MPT/DGT, FAST, Geonames, MeSH, Agrovoc, DBPedia, NALT, and Getty (AAT, TGN, ULAN). These are widely used mainstream sources for topical subject and genre description but also tend to reflect the current dominant mainstream power structure in the United States (white, male, straight, able-bodied, middle-class, Christian, Anglo). Should we increase the list of vocabularies available, by default, in the QA gem? Should we go beyond that and enable vocabulary choices on the default Subject and Keyword Hyrax fields? This lightning talk will discuss these questions and consider vocabulary options that would provide more inclusive descriptive capabilities.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and Notch8 recently implemented custom theming for the PALNI/PALCI joint Hyku project. This talk will go over how we installed access to Google fonts as well as a code editor gem to enable each tenant in the project to write its own CSS. This allowed for much expanded customization and theming experience.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and An introduction to Hyku. Hyku is a collaborative product that extends existing Samvera codebase in order to build, bundle, and promote a feature-rich, robust, flexible digital repository. Hyku's chief benefits are ease of installation, configuration, and maintenance.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and For the past several years the Fedora community has prioritized alignment with linked data best practices and modern web standards. We are now shifting our attention back to Fedora's digital preservation roots with a focus on the Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL). The OFCL is an application-independent approach to the storage of digital objects in a structured, transparent, and predictable manner. Fedora 6.0, the next major release, will replace the current ModeShape backend with a more scalable and performant implementation that persists data in accordance with the OCFL specification. This presentation will provide an overview of the Fedora 6.0 design, including an introduction to the OCFL and how it will be implemented. It will be of interest to Samvera community members who want to track Fedora developments and understand their impact on Samvera applications.

A lightning talk at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus and This talk will discuss NewspaperWorks, a gem that provides content models, batch ingest tasks, and front-end functionality for digitized newspaper content. The gem is intended to be installed in a Hyrax-based repository application, and can be used to add newspaper content to an existing repository, or create a stand-alone newspaper content interface.
