9 The DRIS Database What we had Metadata fields roughly based on MODS Lite Library of Congress subject headings and name terms Day, month and year date fields Getty vocabularies for physical description fields Rights statement

10 The DRIS Database What we were missing A hierarchical structure to our records no collection level Relator role term fields and language term fields The ability to identify non-lc controlled vocabularies Separate temporal and geographic subject fields Relationship information

11 Relationships Relationships matter

12 Relationships IsReferencedBy References

13 Relationships OtherVersion

14 Developing Clarke Studios Collection Demonstrator and DRI MODS development

15 The Development Process

16 Metadata Requirements Original records use a custom database schema Map metadata terms from original records into MODS Transform into MODS, DRI compliant XML (XSLT script)

17 From Filemaker to MODS metadata Filemaker XML export Transformed MODS XML <DrisUnique> </DrisUnique> <mods:identifier type="local"> </mods:identifier> <Title>Millstreet, Co.

18 Collection Organisation

19 Collection Organisation Support for hierarchical collection organisation, using sub-collections Create collection records Organise objects into sub-collections DRI relationships management support Internal relationships (for collection structure and associating digital assets with metadata records) Metadata relationship information (for linking digital objects)

20 DRI to MODS Relationships DRI Relationship Preceding / Succeeding [sequencing] Has Original [source] Is Part Of [collection organisation] Has Parts [collection organisation] Is Version Of Is Format Of Is Referenced By / References Is Review Of MODS preceding referencedby reviewof

21 Collection Relationships Example Data Model relationships Digital Object: Metadata record + Assets Metadata relationships <mods:relateditem type="isreferencedby"> <mods:identifier type="local"> </mods:identifier> </mods:relateditem>

22 The process: Ingest into DRI

23 Ingest into DRI Filemaker XML MODS XML Generate DRI/MODS Metadata records Integrate Metadata and Data Ingest ready!

24 Conclusions A rich use case for developing and validating MODS metadata implementation as a DRI data model DRI support for collection organisation and relationships UI (collection navigation, search and relationships display) A means of identifying the weaknesses in the Digital Collections database and making our metadata more compliant with the MODS standard
