Discussion

Katie/Mike

Mike's questions for Katie:
Do you want to continue doing your description and arrangement in ArchivesSpace, or do you want to do it in the DAMS?

If you keep ArchivesSpace, how much of the ArchivesSpace information do you want in the DAMS?  Is seems like the least overlap would be to have the items in the DAMS mirror the physical arrangement (ie, grouped by box and folder).  Then those items could be manually added as digital objects in ArchivesSpace.   With such a light coupling, folks could only find stuff in the DAMS based on the folder or box, or any additional item-level description that was added in that system.   This is essentially what tracksys does now.

At the other end is that all the description and organization is stored in the DAMS.  This would allow for maximum discoverability within the DAMS (you could search on all that stuff), but would require a new description workflow to be established, and makes the most sense if you're moving away from ArchivesSpace because then there wouldn't be the same information maintained and synchronized between two different systems.
