Briscoe Smith Archive POC #38

Closed lalewis1 closed 3 months ago

lalewis1 commented 5 months ago

28 May - work has started based on the RICO ontology [this is also what the UniMelb are going to be using]

Begin work for ANU on conversion of the Briscoe-Smith archive.

As discussed with Lenoard Smith and Sandra Silcot from ANU. There is a piece of work to move the Briscoe-Smith archive from an Access Database to RDF and store it with the rest of the ANU Catalogue using Prez on the NCI infrastructure.

This piece of work can be broken down into three parts.

  1. Metadata modelling
    Create a suitable ontological model to support the archive and its needs. Collaboration between KurrawongAI and ANU will be needed to arrive at the destination here.

  2. Conversion
    Once an ontological model has been established, convert the data from RDB to RDF in line with the model. Some parsing of unstructured fields may be required to achieve alignment with the desired model.

  3. Metadata Entry form tooling
    The Archive will require continued additions from not-yet catalogued items. There are a number of possible solutions available to support this.

    1. An adapted version of the Metadata entry tool from the IDN project.
    2. VocExcel templates
    3. custom built data entry/management portal.

Initially, I (LL) will try to convert a sample of the archive to RDF, a rough metamodel draft can be agreed upon with refinement to happen later. The idea for this first pass will be to just get some data converted and visible in the new system (prez) so that Len and Sandra can get a feel for the process and how it might play out.
