METS Board Meeting -- April 20, 2017

Members Present

Tobias, Tom, Sean, Leah, Karin, Juha, Brian, Betsy, Aaron, Richard, Andreas

Planning for Next Face-to-Face Meeting (Kyoto)

Betsy has been in touch with thew organizers. Requirements for meeting room etc. have been communicated. The schedule, however, is not yet developed enough for deciding on having either pre- or post-conference meetings.

Organisation of the Editorial Board

The Co-chair model has been in use for approximately the last ten years. The responsibilities have been split between more administrative aspects (notes, meeting arrangement) and more technical tasks (changes to the schema, publish new profile submissions).

For the future, a possible new model with rotating chairs/responsibilities has been discussed. It would include more frequent changes in roles according to a schedule that yet has to be defined. The chair's responsibility would be mainly administrative, with specific ad-hoc responsibility being assigned separately as needed. Karin will see if the updated mode of the PREMIS Editorial Committee could be shared. On a practical level, these activities/responsibilities would have to be managed as efficiently as possible. Tom will set up a test environment using Trello. Together with Betsy they will draft a list of the most recent projects and issues covered by the Board to serve as a reference for the future list of activities and assigned persons.

Administration

Apparently, the new board members haven't been added to the mailing list yet. Betsy will follow up on the mail already sent some weeks ago in this regard.

METS standard

  • Betsy has an active role in reviewing the METS export of Archivsspace which should be finalized soon.
  • Sean will provide some practical information on the PREMIS in METS toolbox.
