[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Registration now open: Virtual ArchivesSpace Basics Workshop on October 18, 20, 25 and 27, 2021 from 12:00pm-2:30pm ET / 9:00am-11:30am PT

Dear ArchivesSpace users,



Registration is now open for the four-session Virtual ArchivesSpace Basics 
Workshop on October 18, 20, 25 and 27, 2021 from 12:00pm-2:30pm ET / 
9:00am-11:30am PT.  During this workshop, trainers from the ArchivesSpace 
Trainers Corps will cover some of the most frequently used areas of the 
ArchivesSpace application.  Attendees are expected to attend all 4 sessions 
since each session will build on the lessons learned in the session before.


ArchivesSpace Basics Training - 4 sessions

Date: October 18, 20, 25 and 27, 2021

Time: 12:00pm-2:30pm ET / 9:00am-11:30am PT

Trainers: Miloche Kottman (University of Kansas) and Brittany Newberry (Atlanta 
University Center)

Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9zRa5tTqQZC7UQyX40HTgg


In order to make training available to as many organizations and users as 
possible, registration will be limited to three (3) attendees per organization 
for virtual trainings.

All community-wide virtual trainings will be recorded.  These recordings will 
be made available via the ArchivesSpace website and YouTube channel.  You do 
not need to register for the training to have access to the recordings.


While this training does not assume any prior experience with ArchivesSpace, 
attendees are expected to have an understanding of archival workflows and 
terminology.  Due to the large number of attendees, trainers will not be able 
to troubleshoot individual implementations of ArchivesSpace or provide 
additional archival instruction beyond the use of ArchivesSpace.



The Trainers Corps offers regularly scheduled workshops and office hours 
covering a variety of topics on all things ArchivesSpace.  These virtual, 
community-wide trainings are part of a 12-month pilot project by the Trainers 
Corps to assess community interest and training needs. Registration for each 
training will be separate and registration will open closer to each training 
date. Agendas and recordings from previous trainings can be found at 
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/2331148319/ArchivesSpace+Community-Wide+Virtual+Training.

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] TEI data and ArchivesSpace

2021-09-27 Thread Andrew Morrison 
I'd recommend converting to EAD first, then importing that. TEI is a 
highly flexible and customizable schema, so writing a direct importer 
would be difficult, and unlikely to work for all the different styles 
and standards of TEI created by different projects. In some cases, it 
might require pulling together bits of information from different parts 
of the TEI document, which would be almost impossible with the SAX 
parser  used by 
ArchivesSpace's importer.


Also each TEI document would have to correspond one-to-one with 
something which you would want to become a resource in ArchivesSpace. If 
that is the case, I'd still convert to EAD first, using XSLT. If instead 
you've got lots of TEI files, each representing individual items in a 
collection, then XQuery would be my choice to build one EAD file from 
multiple source TEI files. But any programming language with a DOM 
parser library could do it.


Whatever tools you use, the intermediate step of converting to EAD, 
which you can then validate, should find most of the data issues, and in 
bulk, whereas the importer fails on each problem, and has to be re-run 
to find the next one.


The TEI and EAD catalogues here exist side-by-side. Originally they 
covered different eras and specialisms, but a recent summary catalogue 
conversion project 
 
has greatly increased the overlap. The plan is to link them together 
using ARKs.

Good afternoon everyone,

I’ve been looking at the TEI data we have about some of our 
collections and I wondered whether anyone on the list has experience 
or resources to share about TEI.


I’d be interested in information about importing TEI data (or a subset 
of TEI data) into ArchivesSpace- either directly or by converting into 
one of the formats that can be ingested into ArchivesSpace. Also in 
information/experience of maintaining TEI metadata and ArchivesSpace 
metadata that are describing the same materials.


Best wishes,

Natalie
