Putting It Together: Lessons Learned from Implementation of the DS 2.0 Project for the Digital Scriptorium Catalog
Thursday October 10, 2024 1:00pm - 1:45pm EDT
Zoom
This presentation will focus on the challenges encountered, insights gained, and lessons learned by the DS 2.0 Project team during practical implementation of the development plans for the redesigned Digital Scriptorium (DS) Catalog, a national union catalog and Linked Open Database for metadata about premodern manuscripts held in North American institutional collections. The presentation will review the innovations of the DS Catalog data model, its use as a metadata schema, and its related workflows to aggregate, enrich, and harmonize heterogeneous data about premodern manuscripts. This overview will outline the use of Wikibase infrastructure as the basis for the data model, explain the process for semantic enrichment of contributed data, and discuss the use of Linked Open Vocabularies for authority control. The presentation will also describe complications and difficulties experienced, and solutions employed, by the DS team. Among the issues to be explored will be strategies for handling disparate formats, standards, and levels of quality in contributed data; decision-making for entity management in the DS Catalog authorities; the tools, techniques, and workflows used for DS data enrichment and curation; and special concerns raised regarding metadata about cultural heritage and manuscript objects.
