Publicise prototype iPres and Format Aggregator systems for feedback. #7

Open anjackson opened 3 months ago

anjackson commented 3 months ago

After the Goals and Principles blog, we can write follow ups to publicise the Format Aggregator (as is) and the newer iPres index. Compare with other proposals, Ecosystem and NLA/NLNZ. Compare with https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/pronom-release-statistics/

Refer back to https://anjackson.net/2016/06/08/frontiers-in-format-identification/
Write a summary of the experience, including an initial proposal for improved iPRES metadata, e.g.:
- one record for presentation and paper.
- make the type clear.

Added some initial notes at: https://github.com/digipres/registries-of-practice-project?tab=readme-ov-file#prototypes and have publicised both on social media. Still need to write up a blog post before this can be called done.

Okaay, due to deadlines etc., I think I need to write up the notes on aggreging iPRES data first. Sources are here, the digipres/digipres-practice-index README and codebase, and Obsidian.

First part, on aggregation, is live: https://anjackson.net/2024/04/16/aggregating-ipres-proceedings/

Second part to write, about how the prototypes are built. Focus is mostly on user needs, and then maintenance.

Third part needs to lay out some future options.
