SAFETY NETS: RESCUE AND REVIVAL FOR ENDANGERED BORN-DIGITAL RECORDS- Program ...Micah Altman
The web is now firmly established as the primary communication and publication platform for sharing and accessing social and cultural materials. This networked world has created both opportunities and pitfalls for libraries and archives in their mission to preserve and provide ongoing access to knowledge. How can the affordances of the web be leveraged to drastically extend the plurality of representation in the archive? What challenges are imposed by the intrinsic ephemerality and mutability of online information? What methodological reorientations are demanded by the scale and dynamism of machine-generated cultural artifacts? This talk will explore the interplay of the web, contemporary historical records, and the programs, technologies, and approaches by which libraries and archives are working to extend their mission to preserve and provide access to the evidence of human activity in a world distinguished by the ubiquity of born-digital materials.
Information Science Brown Bag talks, hosted by the Program on Information Science, consists of regular discussions and brainstorming sessions on all aspects of information science and uses of information science and technology to assess and solve institutional, social and research problems. These are informal talks. Discussions are often inspired by real-world problems being faced by the lead discussant.

It describes defining parameters for the collection, locating materials from various partners, digitally imaging objects, adding metadata, and maintaining relationships. Key steps include being flexible about parameters, using fieldwork and crowdsourcing to find items, balancing image quality with quantity, and making metadata searchable and shareable. Structured data allows new ways of presenting information through maps, timelines, and other visualizations. The traditional broadcast model of museums is shifting to participation as people now share and curate online. Successful digital collections form many connections between people rather than just broadcasting from the museum outward.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Editor's Notes
Recollection Wisconsin is a portal website that provides free, centralized access to digitized cultural heritage resources from the collections of libraries, archives, museums and historical societies across the state.
But it’s more than that. Recollection Wisconsin is also a resource to help those libraries, archives, historical societies and museums bring their collections online in a standardized way, adhering to nationally-recognized best practices. We’ve developed guidelines for digital imaging, metadata, and digital preservation, and one of my roles is to offer training to help small institutions digitize and share their collections.
With the renewed funding from the Nicholas Foundation, we decided it was a good opportunity to consider a makeover. The original portal website was looking dated and was difficult to maintain. And we really wanted to do more to build an audience for the amazing content that our partners were already making available online. To do more than just bring content together in one place, but to help the citizens of the state connect with and learn from and enjoy that content. Basically, we wanted the new site to embody our ongoing evolution from just a collection of stuff to a community of users and contributors.
So we connected with a really great design and web development team, who worked with us to re-visualize what the website could be and do. As part of the process of refreshing our identity, we chose to move away from the name Wisconsin Heritage Online. We felt the new Recollection Wisconsin name did a better job of describing what it is that we do: create opportunities for people to discover personal connections to the past by bringing together digital collections from across the state. And, just as important, compared to “WHO,” it’s much easier to use in a sentence and to find in a search engine.
So what’s next? Where do we go from here? A really exciting opportunity that’s opened to us recently is the chance to bring Wisconsin’s digital collections to a national stage by participating in the Digital Public Library of America.
Bringing Wisconsin into the DPLA as a Service Hub will broaden the impact and reach of Wisconsin’s libraries and cultural heritage institutions. The Minnesota Digital Library reported a 55% increase in visits to their digital collections since joining DPLA; the Mountain West Digital Library saw traffic increase by more than 100%.
Participating in DPLA will enable more Wisconsin libraries and cultural heritage institutions to bring their collections online through coordinated statewide professional development opportunities.
Inclusion in DPLA will inspire innovative uses of Wisconsin’s digital collections. As Amy mentioned, DPLA works to enhance metadata from contributors through geotagging and other tools. This enhanced metadata is made available through an open API, which developers and researchers can use to create innovative environments for learning and discovery.
A Service Hub in Wisconsin will also ensure that our state is well represented on the national map of digital content as DPLA continues its rapid growth.
Here’s the topography of DPLA in the US.
To help visualize the relationship between the different pieces of the Service hub relationship, one can imagine a local historical society or public library as a pond, containing in it unique, valuable cultural content. These ponds send their content through tributaries to the lakes, DPLA Service hubs, which aggregate data from the various cultural heritage institutions across their state or region, the ponds. The Service hubs then feed this content through rivers to the ocean, DPLA. The service hub model ensures that even the smallest institutions have an on-ramp to participation in DPLA.
One of the six pilot service hubs was the Minnesota Digital Library, which has reported a 55% increase in use of their digital collections since adding their content to the DPLA in 2013. Another hub, the Mountain West Digital Library, which covers Idaho, Utah and Nevada, reports an even bigger increase – 106%.
Each of these partners had already made an ongoing commitment of specific resources in support of the Recollection Wisconsin collaborative. These in-kind contributions are providing the foundation for creating a Service Hub in the state.
Milwaukee Public Library hosts content for small institutions.
UW-Madison maintains a metadata aggregator.
UW-Milwaukee will provide digitization services and consulting for Milwaukee-area cultural heritage institutions.
DPI administers LSTA funding including the Digitization of Library Historical Resources funding category.
Wisconsin Historical Society provides support for technology development and community outreach.
WiLS hosts Recollection Wisconsin program staff, provides project management, and acts as fiscal agent for the collaborative.
The work to scale up from the existing Recollection Wisconsin program to a DPLA service hub will be rolled out in phases. Phase I is relatively short and closely follows the timeline DPLA has established for adding new Service Hubs. Basically, Phase I puts procedures in place in order to share our first batch of metadata with DPLA.
Goals for Phase I are:
Build out the tools for aggregating data and sharing it with DPLA in a single stream (this work is being contributed by UW-Madison)
Creating procedures for evaluating and adding metadata from Content Partners (this is the purview of a Phase I metadata workgroup, which is made up of metadata staff at Wisconsin Historical Society, WiLS, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Madison and Marquette University)
Formalizing partner relationships and creating a governance structure (which I’ll talk about more in a moment)
Create a plan for information sharing and building community awareness and support across the state (this will be the purview of a Steering Committee which is now being established)
Phase I will provide approximately 400,000 metadata records to DPLA. That number represents content held by more than 140 libraries, archives, historical societies, museums and other institutions throughout Wisconsin. It encompasses a broad array of original materials including photographs, maps, manuscripts, books, films, oral histories, music, artwork and artifacts.
In expanding into a DPLA Service Hub, Recollection Wisconsin’s scope of content will necessarily expand as well. The data currently harvested for Recollection Wisconsin represents content describing state and local history and culture.
In Phase 1, the amount of harvested data will nearly double, and will expand beyond content about state and local history to a much broader scope of subject matter.
This expanded scope will encompass many significant research collections that are held by Wisconsin institutions but are not about Wisconsin. Just a few examples are the archives of the 1964 Freedom Summer Project documenting Civil Rights activism in Mississippi, held by the Wisconsin Historical Society; the vast holdings of the American Geographical Society Library at UW-Milwaukee; and the Digital Library for the Decorative Arts and Material Culture, digitized by UWDCC in partnership with the Chipstone Foundation.
Technology for aggregating metadata will be developed and maintained by UW-Madison using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). UW-Madison will harvest data from Content Partners through OAI, then use OAI to feed that data to DPLA in a single stream. Search results made available through DPLA will always link users directly back to the original digital source material.
A Content Partner is any library, archives, historical society, museum or other institution that provides public access to digitized content and makes metadata describing that content available for OAI harvesting. In order to participate in DPLA through the Service Hub, Content Partners will need to dedicate their metadata to the public domain through a Creative Commons CC0 license. This summer, we will be getting in touch with all existing Content Providers to formalize this public domain dedication. The CC0 declaration is essential. Opening up data in this way is what enables the work that DPLA does to enhance data and make it available through their API.
Here’s our timeline for Phase I:
The creation of the board, steering committee and metadata work group are currently underway.
In June we will go through DPLA’s application process in order to formalize our partnership and make our Service Hub status official.
This summer we’ll be contacting Partners to secure the Creative Commons Zero determination.
Late this summer and early fall we’ll begin the metadata ingest process with DPLA staff.
In early 2016, that first batch of approximately 400,000 metadata records will be shared with the world through DPLA.
Current funding for the hub comes from multiple sources, including a grant from the Nicholas Family Foundation, an LSTA grant which is currently in development, fees contributed by Content Partners for hosting content and harvesting data, and the in-kind commitments I mentioned earlier.
We are actively pursuing additional funding for Phase II and beyond. Potential funding sources we’re looking into include federal grants, gifts from private foundations or other donors, cost recovery services and additional in-kind contributions.
