Minutes

• Migration Sprint

  • August 20th - 31st

  • Signup here.

  • Danny - The scope of the sprint includes basic migration of several collections (i.e basic image, video) from 7.x sandbox into CLAW. The scope includes the development of MODS application profile for descriptive metadata.

  • Danny - We will also create content types such as author needed to express the descriptive metadata in a Linked Data way.

  • Mark Jordan - Does this work including creating XPaths to map MODS into Drupal fields?

  • Danny - Yes, possibly. Some initial exploration has been done at this front.

  • Rosie - How do migrate the various collections with respective forms?

  • Danny - We will start with simple collections and build a solution which can be extended.

  • Danny - Currently we don't have a clear way to do two step migration: getting list of items and processing the list and ingesting the items. This is part of the Sprint.

  • Rosie - Can we use XSLT to convert the MODS into RDF?

  • Danny - Not quite. We may be able to use XSLT as an intermediate step to map MODS into Drupal fields. That architecture still needs to be worked out. We have to be mindful about how everything (these Drupal fields) will map into RDF.

  • Migration Modules

    • https://github.com/whikloj/migrate_7x_claw
    • Jared - This module quries solr, gets a list of items form a collection, then retrieves the object from Fedora and ingests them into CLAW. This is a live migration vs pulling the data down and ingesting as in MIK. Is that the right approach, not sure.
    • https://github.com/mjordan/7x_claw_migration_over_REST
    • https://github.com/seth-shaw-unlv/claw-migrate-files-poc

  • Ease of Use and Extendability of the Migration Process/User Testing

    • Rosie - Migration process/tooling should be documented. We should prepare the tooling before presenting it. We need to do one on one user testing to observe how users may use that tool.
    • Rosie - Migration should be easy enough for librarians to use and extend it.
    • Mark Jordan - We will have to provide training similar to CLAW webinars
    • Mark Jordan - There are drupal module that can provide click heat maps. Example: https://www.drupal.org/project/hotjar

• Book and Complex Data Model

  • Book and complex data model is not part of the sprint. Some work is being undertaken by University of Austin. We can develop the use cases and provide input to make that solution generic enough for wider audience. There is a ticket to follow up about this: https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/868

• https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/866

  • Danny - This ticket is about some configurations being in the wrong module or feature. It also brings up the issue of how we organize the codebase into granular units. How to separate the Core from Turnkey solution packs?

  • Rosie - How do we overwrite the configurations?

  • Danny - Drupal Feature does provide a diff tool. Currently, if you overwrite a turnkey feature, you will need to maintain it manually. You can folk the git repo and manually maintain it. Drupal does not have any automatic way to merge configuration files.

  • Danny - The starting point to move forward this ticket is to move Member of and Tag field needs to move into the core.

  • Mark Jordan - Should we call these units something other than solution pack, just to make a clean break from 7.x.

  • Danny - Yes, we are open to naming suggestions.

• https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/867

  • Danny - When transferring from Drupal to Fedora we use a transmission fixity check. However, when uploading to Drupal we don't. We need to provide an optional UI field as well as programmatic header for the user to provide the file fixity when they upload an item to Drupal.
  • Mark Jordan - Migrate plus would be used for batch ingest. We will need to support transmission fixity check in the migrate process/batch ingest as well.
