DPLA Summary from Jun mtg



Summary:

  • DPLA should "enable, provide, facilitate"
  • Want to aggregate existing data & create new
  • Need less emphasis on the front door, more on services & multiple entry points
  • Openness: Code (+), Metadata (+), Content (?)
  • - "No New Gatekeepers!"
  • Identify gaps/needs in current systems
  • - Change management service, trackback, metadata versioning
  • Sprint: Call for data providers, usability testing, future iterations
  • GeekSquad for Public Libraries
  • - Digitization services, shared experiences & support
  • A DPLA vision: contextualization, curated multimedia playlist, social interactions around objects
  • - Need: Unified framework & disambiguation services
