Tech meeting 2/9/15
Mike, Trish, William, Bianca
BHL general
DOIs – who is CrossRef representative? Mike doesn’t have a contact. Who is representative on our end? Alvin Hutchinson has been the contact in the past and should continue to be.
Singapore has artworks they want to put into BHL. She sent an email with a metadata example. Mike says BHL UI was designed for books and says it either be an addon or he would prefer we completely rethink the data model and UI. It’s a fundamental change to the model. Bianca will have collections committee talk philosophically about the idea of artworks but practically not doable now w/o a complete rethinking of data model and UI.
Is there a URL for scientific names tab? Mike will look into
Planned outage on Thursday – Mike will let you Bianca know if it will happen.

Art of Life
Continue to promote the upload of BHL image to Flickr (MBG is writing a press release to be released this week). Mike, Grace and I are looking into how we can track the addition of tags to Flickr and monitor the tagging progress. Grace will regularly post to twitter about the images
ConSciCom/Zooniverse –
What do Mike and William think of the reframing of the collection on Zooniverse from tagging illustrations to investigation into historical citizen science?
I have a first draft of the tutorial that should be ready later today.
We have a meeting with ConSciCom Wed 9am
