Until recently at Middlebury Institute of International Studies, Monterey
When we started at the school, made a point of asking people, “What are you working on?”
Retired special ops/student is working on a special operations research database going back to World War II.
File types: videos, PDFs, Word docs, images, streaming links. Proof-of-concept site on WordPress.
Challenges:
* Standardization, naming conventions
* Site organization
* Improved searchability
* Scalability
* WordPress update
* Project plan: interviews, task list
* Resources: no time from I.T. Staff, had to do most of it himself and use network of contacts. UCLA intro to digital humanities; The Getty’s intro to metadata; Dublin Core guides.
* Workflow
* Guide, so he could hand it off to the project team. Data input standards. How to upload to Omeka. How to upload videos to YouTube and have it to do auto-transcriptions.
Installed Omeka on a server. I.T. Wanted to vet any plug-ins they wanted to use.
