Current milestone
The next goal for the project is to complete the functions covered by phase 1 of the project plan by the end of October, with front-to-back submission of research datasets to the library databank repository service, and providing visible web-based feedback to our research partners of the submitted datasets. This we intend to use as the basis for iterative improvements and enhancements in phase 2 of the project, with the researchers guiding us concerning what constitutes useful metadata to capture and expose with the submitted datasets.
Outstanding items from phase 1 of project plan:
| Date | WP | Activity | Milestone and/or deliverable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan-2010 | WP2 | Annotation requirements gathering (use data audits as starting point). Focus on annotations that can support archiving and retrieval (see WP3) (10d) | Identified initial data set annotations to implement, and potential vocabularies |
| Feb-2010 | WP1 | Security model review | Reviewed/updated trust, threat and security model |
| WP2 | Pair-programmed implementation of Shuffl plug-in for annotating user data, and demonstrate these to research users as soon as possible (10d) | Initial implementation of at least 1 Shuffl plug-in for data annotation, and user feedback | |
| Mar-2010 | WP3 | Survey and select format and vocabularies for bundling datasets with annotations (considering what can be accepted by OULS). (10d) | Identified data format(s) and administrative vocabularies to be used for bundling datasets with annotations |
| WP3 | Check metadata coverage of selected data format/vocabularies with research users – articulate retrieval use-cases (10d). | Identified domain vocabularies to be used for bundling datasets with annotations | |
| WP4 | Discuss submission requirements with research partners, OULS and CLARION teams (5d). | Agreed publication embargo policies with research users, on a case-by-case basis. | |
| Apr-2010 | WP3 | Create packaging tools to create bundles for submission to OULS databank. Test use of packaging tools applied to real data (10d). | Initial implementation of tooling to create archival submission packages from datasets, Shuffl annotations. |
| WP4 | Initial implementation of submission tools – e.g. SWORD protocol client (10d). | Initial submission tools. | |
| May-2010 | WP3 | Refine submission package tooling based on user feedback. Work with users to create archive submission packages for selected datasets. (10d) | Data packages ready for repository submission |
| WP4 | Review submission tools with partners and users, including selection of embargo policies (5d). | ||
| WP4 | Refine submission tools (5d). | Submission tools ready for use. | |
| WP4 | Configure Databank to implement embargo policies (OULS – 10d) | ||
| Jun-2010 | WP3 | Review and publish documentation and training materials for packaging tools (5d) | Stable, published user documentation |
| WP4 | Perform and debug initial submissions from shared file system (10d) | Initial submissions from LSDS to data repository. | |
| WP4 | Review and publish documentation and training materials for submission tools (5d) | Stable, published user documentation |
Outline goals
For the next sprint, we aim to:
- review, debug and update documentation for the ADMIRAL system scripted creation procedure
- create a new ADMIRAL file sharing deployment for the evolutionary development group
- file sharing system bug fixes (password over unencrypted HTTP channel; https access reporting server configuration error)
- Progress RDF creation using Shuffl
Working towards:
- Front-to-back, researcher-to-repository, test deployment
- Capture dataset description as RDF
- Package data+description and submit to Databank test system

Review of planning process
We have planned a short sprint with immediate goals only. The planning process has focussed on identifying priority tasks in the current work schedule, and building momentum around them.
