KAP Task Group conference call 8 April 2010

Agenda:

  1. Review and discuss new tools and possible effect of tools on our group's work.

  2. "conversational metadata" (think: conversational Italian).

More on the new software below. The tools are bundled within a well-documented and tested open-source Perl module called File::ANVL (a typical name of many Perl modules), at

As alluded to in the DCMI status report for our group, it permits conversion of ANVL/ERC (short or long form) records to XML, Turtle, and JSON record formats. It does not include a web user interface, but is well-suited as infrastructure for such interfaces. Direct access to the highest (command-line) technical documentation is at

Separately, an application of Kernel being deployed at the CDL's UC Curation Center is Namaste tags, also available open-source with documentation at

The tools are designed to run under Unix and Windows.

Notes:

Adrian: tool documentation very technical, needs an overview and non-tech context

John: an AP is a technical document, and this serves a similar function

Bill: would be useful in ANVL doc to show full examples of conversions

John: full examples in a companion doc vs in the tool documentation?

Adrian: I can help choosing examples

All: draft AP doc Feb 20 2008 on wiki a good faith effort; given changes in Abstract Model perhaps AP work can be put on hold while tools are evaluated

Bill: regarding who/what/when/where applied to a part-physical/part-digital thing/work/expression, suggest looking at FRBR for precedent: we want to describe a work and one particular manifestation's whereness

John: pedagogic problem when the metaphor breaks around the anchoring story

Charles: see VRA core for application to different object types

Jane: print vs born-digital are fundamentally different

Bill: do it via guidelines for different object types
