Notes

For the agenda we look at the topics of June 11, 2025 Board Meeting

Library of Congress website

  • Library of Congress website looks good and all changes have been implemented.
  • Aaron has a next batch of updates they will share with Glenn; most updates are about outdated content. When Glenn confirms the updates on the website we can all take a look. It is good to have a short check-in with Glenn about the website at our monthly meeting.

iPRES 2025 submission

  • The deadline for Birds of a Feather submissions is 18 July 2025. The call is out, see https://www.ipres2025.nz/post/ad-hoc-submissions-what-you-need-to-know.
  • A Birds of a Feather session will be usually an hour long and a discussion with the participants. A short introduction to the topic might be possible.
  • We take a look at the draft submission Karin prepared. It is not necessary to create a slide deck, just hand-outs. It is important to encourage the community. Karin and Juha will attend iPRES in-person.
  • Everyone can take a look, and suggest changes or remarks BEFORE 14 July 2025. Karin will submit.

New member applications

  • Inge updated the texts on the wiki Board Membership Criteria & Procedures and Filling Board Vacancies
  • Inge will make two minor changes: add "if needed" to interviews and add "services" to board criteria (done)
  • Updated texts will be part of the batch of updates Aaron will send to Glenn.
  • We want to send out the call early October, so we can refer to the iPRES BoaF session. Questions about membership can then be asked at iPRES. And one way of helping us is by joining the METS Board!

METS-guide issues and pull requests

  • There are three issues for a missing example in StructSec, improvement of the stream example and consistent use of MDTYPE="MIX" - https://github.com/mets/METS-guide/issues - anyone can take a look and work on these issues.
  • We can ask for needs for resources at the BoaF session on iPRES
  • For the addition of more practical examples we also could ask users (maybe at the iPRES). Juha created some already and will add them to METS Guide

Next meeting

  • August 13th
  • Karin's Zoom link will be occupied on next meeting, and a lot of us will be on vacation.
  • Aaron has taken over the Zoom link. Maybe next meeting will just be a short check-in with Glenn.
