DPLA Ingest Update - Regan & Pascal
  • Amy is no longer with the State Library 
    • Our new contact for the DPLA ingest will be Regan
  • The State Library needed to make a change to their behind the screens technology in order to continue to work with the DPLA
  • The State Library have spent the last few months making changes and very happy with the results
  • Regan reports that they are ready to go and are back on schedule with ingesting content to the DPLA 
  • The next ingest is scheduled for mid-January
  • Regan does not think they have any Marmot content in the January ingest
  • Marmot made changes to DPLA feed
    • If your collection is supported by an outside partner and you want to give them credit in the DPLA feed, the outside partner will be the Data Provider
      • If you have an organization attached to an item with the role of owner, donor, or acknowledgement, and with an organization PID, they will become the Data Provider
      • The library that populated the collection into the archives will become the Intermediate Provider
    • The date created would sometimes not show up, especially if it was only a year and month, so Pacal did some better fall back handling of the date formats
      • Ideally it is best to have the dates show up correctly by entering them with slashes (i.e. 11/20/2018)
      • Dates without months will now show as yyyy-mm
    • The rights statements have been updated for the rights.org statements for objects going into the feed
      • If the objects immediate parent collection has a rights.org statement attributed to it, the immediate children of the parent collection will also have that rights.org statement in the DPLA feed
      • You cannot have a hierarchy, each parent collection will need a rights.org statement 
    • The parent collection name is now included as a subject for objects

Digital Archive Costs
  • Brandon reported that Marmot is continually talking about Digital Archives from the pricing perspective

  • Just know that as more members come on that Marmot is always evaluating pricing 
  • Marmot did lower the base cost by $500 due to the amount of current participation
  • The price per gigabyte of data stored is also being evaluated
  • In 2019, Marmot is looking at the best way to continual store all the data that members are providing 
    • Determining if Marmot’s current data storage solution is the best approach, or if we should try to move a different data array
