Gather key stakeholder input about how to use ephemera metadata fields

[hackartisan]

Summary or User Story

We need to build a shared understanding of how each field should be used. The goal is to identify opportunities for joyful discovery that each piece of metadata presents, and start to think about how we can take advantage of those opportunities.

For each metadata field:

What is an example of the use case for this field, for the patrons you represent?
What's a particularly good example record for this field - with more than one if there are meaningful variations?
Do you have any dreams for the kind of experiences this field can enable?

Once this input is gathered, we can use it to write indexing and UI design tickets for each field.

Here is the list of fields:

• Titles
  • Alternative Title
  • Transliterated Title
  • Sort Title (necessary?)
• Identifiers
  • Folder Number
  • Barcode
• Language
• Genre
• Dimensions
  • Width
  • Height
  • Page count
• Keywords
• Series
• Authors/Collaborators
  • Creator
  • Contributor
  • Publisher
• Geographic Origin
• Subject
• Geo Subject
• Provenance
• External References
  • DSpace URL
  • Source URL
• Collection
