Re: [jats-list] Archive-It content in BITS

["Ravit David ravit.david@xxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kevin,
We have one collection from which we actually extracted the PDFs (from the
WARCs), we plan to create BITS records for each PDF and then load them as part
of our government and gov-related collection (on our ebook platform).
When creating the metadata I need to add a special copyright statement that
describe how these PDFs came to be and also to credit the institution member
that curated/collected the collection.
The rest of the metadata is no different from our regular BITS schema. I think
that in the future I might be interested in bringing into the BITS more web
archiving related metadata but for now i'm focusing on the 2 above mentioned
fields.
Hope it makes more sense now?

Hello Ravit,


Could you say more about your use case?


As I understand it, the recommendations published by OCLC that you site below
are for creating descriptive metadata about archived websites, such as those
preserved in the Wayback Machine or another web archive, perhaps using
Archive-It.  One of the metadata elements that you might want to describe
about an archived webpage is who collected that website -- which the WAM
recommendations call a "Collector".


But why would you want to store metadata about archived webpages in BITS?

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all well.

I have a question about an element that is recommended for content that is
curated via Archive-It.
As per OCLC
recommendation<https://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/2018/oc
lcresearch-wam-recommendations.pdf>  the element "COLLECTOR" definition is:
"The organization responsible for curation and stewardship of an archived
website or collection. Use Collector for the organization that selects the web
content for archiving, creates metadata and performs other activities
associated with ownership of a resource. Stated another way, this is the
organization that has taken responsibility for the archived content, although
the digital files are not necessarily stored and maintained by this
organization (collections harvested using Archive-It are a prominent
example)." (pg 17)

My question then is how do i represent "collector" in BITS?
I was thinking of doing something like what's in the BITS examples but
collab-type = institution doesn't sit well, does it?
 wondering if folks have different ideas.

<contrib-group>
<contrib contrib-type="collector">
<collab collab-type="institution">University of Toronto Libraries</collab>
</contrib>

Thank you in advance,
Ravit
