The document outlines the Museum of New Media's plans to implement a collection management system to catalog and provide access to their growing net art collection. They will use the open source software xDams and the metadata standard LIDO to catalog over 50 net artworks and related materials. The project will establish numbering schemes, file naming conventions, and internal vocabularies. It details staff roles and a six month timeline to have the collection cataloged in xDams before a planned net art retrospective exhibition.
Lessons Learned by Implementing ArchivesSpace and Archivematica at the Bentle...Max Eckard
Considering transition to a new system of digital asset management, public access, or collections curation? Archivists representing a diverse group of institutions discuss project planning, methodology, and intellectual and technological considerations used during implementation of ArchivesSpace (from the Archivists' Toolkit and from scratch!), Archivematica, Hydra/Fedora, and Islandora, Zendesk, and Oral History Metadata Synchronizer. Presenters address legacy metadata migration, transition from homegrown tools, the challenge of big projects with small staffs, and successful workflows.
For several years at the conference Open Repositories the repository rodeo took place. Every open repository software is represented by one panelist. Every panelist gives a short introduction in the software he/she represents. These presentations are followed by a discussion between panelists and attendees. These slides where used to represent DSpace in the repository rodeo at Open Repositories 2019.

These slides are the basis of an Open Repositories 2015 talk about Archivematica integration.
Abstract: The open repository ecosystem consists of many interlocking systems which satisfy needs at different points in content management workflows, and these differ within and among institutions. Archivematica is a digital preservation system which aims to integrate with existing repository, storage and access systems in order to leverage the resources that institutions have invested towards building their repository over time. The presentation will cover every integration the Archivematica project has completed thus far, including Dspace and DuraCloud, LOCKSS, Islandora/Fedora, Archivists' Toolkit, AccessToMemory (AtoM), CONTENTdm, Arkivum, HP Trim, and OpenStack, as well as ongoing projects with ArchivesSpace, Dataverse, and BitCurator. Each of these projects has had its own set of limitations in scope because of the requirements of the project sponsor and/or the limitations of other system, so in many ways several of them are not, and may never be 'complete' integrations. The discussion will explore what that means and strategies for expanding the functional capabilities of integration work over time. It will address scoping integration workflows and building requirements with limitations on functionality and resources. We will examine how systems can be built and enhanced in ways that accommodate diverse workflows and varied interlocking endpoints.

OCCIware, a formal framework for Everything as a Service. OW2con'15, November...OCCIware
The OCCIware project aims at building a comprehensive engineering toolchain for managing Everything as a Service (XaaS). The objective is to dramatically decrease the cost of using or providing XaaS by breaking silos between layers and domains of Cloud Computing. Leveraging the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) standard-to-be, we are developing a model-driven engineering studio as well as generic runtimes adapted to various domains: Linked Open Data, cloud computing, platform as a service, Big Data, connected objects, etc. The project, funded by French Ministry of Industry, involves 10 academic and industrial partners and is supervised by a committee of 11 top scientists and industry experts. The session will include a demo of the design and implementation of an OCCI application.

Archives work is messy -- in many cases archivists have to organize and make accessible large amounts of mixed data in a variety of formats, both physical and digital. Thankfully, there are a variety of technology tools available to help solve the messiness problem and make collections more accessible. In this session, audience members will learn about current and emerging archival technology tools, the pros and cons of the major tools, and resources for further education.

3. we would like to...
preserve our growing Net Art records, while
systematically organizing and making accessible
our contemporary collection to a wider audience...
by doing so, we will formulate and promote Net Art’s
relevance and advocate our institution as
instrumental in the museum landscape of
New York City.

5. Our Net Art Collection
➔ Museum of New Media Founded
1990
➔ First Net Art work commissioned
2003
➔ 12 years of collection on NetWorks
page
No Collections Management System ?!
6. Goals
●Providing accessibility to Net Art Collection for
museum researchers and the public.
●Promoting the preservation and conservation of
items in the collection, including artwork and
administrative documentation.
●Utilizing standards that will be implemented by
museum staff for present and future use.
●Providing the information to launch our Net Art
Retrospective in January of 2016.
●Update NetWorks page based on the metadata of
the new collection.
7. Challenges
● Preservation challenges when faced
with older digital artworks.
● Missing information and metadata.
● Staff learning xDams and LIDO
properly.
● Time constraints due to other
exhibitions handled by Collections
Management staff.
● The lack of published vocabularies.
8. The Current State of the
Collection
● Our fifty plus materials are saved to
the Museum’s internal server without
associated metadata or further
background information.
● Small volume of printed documents
and CD-roms from the early 2000s.
● In preparation for our Net Art
Retrospective, the MoNM needs a
clear-cut management system.
9. Technology Implemented
● A collection management system called xDams,
web-based and open sourced.
● We will use a standard metadata schema
known as LIDO(Lightweight Information
Describing Objects).
● xDams only requires an internet browser
(preferably Firefox) registrars, curators, and
museum administrators can access the records
off-site.
● A museum server that covers all departments
with a large amount of space for entering data.
12. Staff ● Collection Management Team
● Hire full-time (40 hrs/wk) Project
Archivist
o Proposed Salary: $25.00/hr
● 2 part-time interns for cataloging and
data entry
o 1-2 days a week for course credit
● Web Developer
o $25.00/hr
● Conservation team will assist with digital
conservation efforts if necessary.
13. Supplies
New work station for project archivist
●21.5” iMac
●CD Drive
●Can use Epson scanner at intern
work station
xDams
15. ●Using XML data to learn more
about LIDO fields.
●Deciding which fields work for
different types of records.
●Will provide handbook to
future employees.
Populating xDams Fields
16. The Museum of New Media’s
Numbering Schemes & File Naming Conventions
17. A New Numbering Scheme Developed for
MoNM’s Net Art Collection
The Net Art Collections Accession number will
be comprised of 3 parts
NA . 2010 . 001
⬆ ⬆ ⬆
[Acronym for Net Art] ⬆ [Sequential #]
[Year of acquisition]
18. New File Naming Conventions For
Digital Files & Folders
● The Net Art Collection will have Artwork Folders,
Administrative Folders and Exhibition Folders.
↙Folder Label Identifiers
NAF.10.001 Artwork File Folder
NAF.10.001.1 Administrative File Folder
NAF.10.001.2 Exhibition File Folder
19. Filing Conventions
We will
implement a descriptive file naming system which will be used
to identify specific documents housed within Artwork,
Administrative and Exhibition Folders.
21. Create Internal Vocabularies For
Describing Net Art
● An Internal Vocabulary guide will be used by MoNM
catalogers for describing Net Art.
● Since this is a fairly new art form, we have discovered that
certain terminologies used for describing Net Art, (i.e.
standard terminologies) are not always found in published
union catalog resources(i.e. Getty’s AAT Thesaurus).
22. Timeline for Completion
With the following calendar in mind, our staff should have the xDams software up and running in a six month
period with the new successfully cataloged Net Art collection.
May 10, 2015 Finalize request for proposal
May 15, 2015 Begin hiring new staff/interns
