Something that I think would be useful from this group might be a set of principles and best practices for integrations. I know that both the RAC and the Bentley have done a lot of intellectual legwork to really think through which system should be the system of record for various types of information and how it should communicate, and I wonder if this could be generalizable to future integration work.
For instance, when I worked with Mark Custer, Mary Caldera and Euan Cochrane on the Preservica integrations at Yale, we had splendid fights about where description should be authored and how granularly it should be represented in each system (I'm not 100% thrilled with how this worked out in Preservica, by the way -- URLs are stored in archival object records rather than the way I would like to see them as digital object records, and connecting aggregations of electronic records from Preservica to ArchivesSpace AOs isn't as sophisticated as I would like). I wonder if this group, after it has looked at all of these wished-for integrations, could provide feedback and guidance about how integrations should and shouldn't behave in accordance with archival description best practices.
