Tech review meeting 10/14/14
Present: William, Trish, Mike, Bianca
BHL
Migration of CB content to BHL -
Any word on Martin’s meeting with JSTOR? Martin is getting a contact name for us.
Redirect for Citebank – need a message explaining why they are going to a BHL home page. Mike Could make a special page on BHL that then goes to home page so we don’t have to keep the Citebank server running to serve that page. Bianca is doing wording. Then Mike W would set up redirect in firewall.
Abstracts/notes in BHL - Mockup looks good.
MOBOT submitted a 2 pg preliminary proposal to IMLS for BHL as a life sciences portal in DPLA.
BHL Global – Europe had meeting in London for strategy. Jiri was in Washington DC training on the exhibit tool. Interested in next version of portal with nodes. BHL Egypt – interested in Mining Biodiversity. Mexico is interested in being node. Would need a workshop for them.
Contributor browse – looks good and forwarding to Martin and others.

Art of Life
Flickr content – Martin talked with Robert from IA. IA won’t add any more metadata to Kalev’s uploads. BHL has to take initiative on this. Need to setup a call with Martin and 3 of us.
Kyle and Joel will work on moving content from IMA to SI.
ARTstor

Flickr tags – Trish to review
Classified Images –set up an intern for Art of Life – 150 hrs – she can start this fall but will finish in spring.
Zooniverse/ConSciCom –
Trish needs to identify 20-30 class types to send to them.

Purposeful Gaming
Architecture for Managing multiple OCR versions – Trish sent email to Scribe designer, Stuart Lynn, at Zooniverse who is looking into managing multiple versions of transcriptions. Victoria Van Hyning suggested Juxta Commons - Tool for merging text between 2 files. Trish asked could we write down the specific functionality we need a tool to do so we can send it around to different listservs for ideas?
Tiltfactor won’t have next prototype ready for a few weeks.
Text to image linking – TILT2 Desmond had some partial results but hasn’t had time to work on further. Mike looked into other tools that Joe suggested. Doesn’t do quite what we want
Evaluating OCR for % of alphanumeric characters – William has some python scripts that could be evaluated.

Mining Biodiversity
Meeting with Altmetrics Friday to see how they are using the URIs. Will give Grace a broader perspective on social media strategy. addThis is running. Google scholar tags there. Do we show up in Google Scholar?
Focus groups ongoing- giving us feedback on mockups and support semantic searches. So far have talked with Rod, Nicky Nicholson, Brian Hagedorn.
