A presentation given at Connect 2017 described thus and Princeton University Library has spent the last two years developing Plum as a staff-only ingest platform for books, manuscripts, geo-spatial data, and archived ephemera. This talk would go through a history of the design goals, the successes we've had, the problems we've run into, and a look into the future.

A presentation given at Samvera Connect 2020 On-line (originally titled 'Cloud storage service uploads for a Valkyrie repository') and described thus and This presentation aims to outline and discuss attempts throughout 2019 and 2020 to integrate an early pre-release of the BrowseEverything 2.0 component for supporting Google Drive file uploads into a Samvera repository. While this shall be restricted in scope for cases which were specific to the Princeton University Library and a Valkyrie-based repository Figgy, the hope is to encourage discussions regarding obstacles which were encountered and to aim to generalize the solutions which were discovered in this integration.

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

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.

The session focuses on open approaches to sharing geospatial metadata. We will discuss issues around standard requirements, appropriate linked data predicates, using linked data for placenames and gazetteers, participating in organizations and networks for sharing like OpenGeoMetadata, and identifying available tools and resources.

This presentation aims to explore the possible integration of Samvera digital object repositories with additional web services using message brokers. There have been cases in which it is necessary to synchronize content updates between repositories and additional library systems such as library catalogs or digital exhibit publishing software. Within this context, developers may benefit by exploring architectural pattern in which a dedicated message broker receives asynchronous notifications of repository content updates, new ingestions, and deletions. In response to having received these messages, the broker may then broadcast these events to other listening library systems. The library systems then may reindex or update their own content accordingly. A conceptual overview of this architectural pattern shall be provided, followed by an overview of an implementation local to the systems within the Princeton University Library (synchronizing content between implementations of Valkyrie and Spotlight using RabbitMQ). The outcome of this presentation would be to identify other Samvera adopters who may also be utilizing message brokers, with the ultimate aim of determining whether or not this approach would be beneficial to a larger number of community members.
