## User Stories
Since the last one started as user story and became a epic. Let's define user stories which are short and simple things in the below format, scoped to science archives, or other some specific scope could be suggested. if we can add more stories, it should help us with a list of features which we can prioritize by story points that we ll assign after having a small sample of stories.
> As a [type of user or role] i want [some goal] so that [some reason]
>
### Milli User Stories
* As an "Science student" i want better finding aid so that i will be able to browse the archival metadata descriptions of different archives
* As a research associate i want to add tag to a particular archive item metadata description, so that i can browse my tags later
* As a researcher i want to add text comments to a particular archive item metadata description, so that i may quote in my research paper.
* As a science journalist i want to link two archival items with a custom relationship so that i can analyze emerging patterns for stories
* As an archivist i want to create categories so that i can organize the archival research
* As milli platform owner i want to create new Sites / Accounts so that the contracts, policy of interaction or integration with other institutions or archives or formal orgs can be managed
* As milli Technical admin i want to setup background processes or jobs for data exchange, parsing or any other adapters
* As milli site (Account) admin i want to create and manage users
* As a milli site admin i want to approve or reject annotations(tags, comments) so that there is no spams
### Specere User Stories
* As a research intern i want to write exhibits on archival artefacts so that audience can access the material
*
## Features - derived from user stories exercise
The major user personas that came out from the user stories exercise are,
* student
* research associate
* researcher
* science journalist
* archivist
* milli platform owner
* milli Technical admin
* milli site (Account) admin
Above can be boiled down into the following roles that would interact with the platform
* User (without any registration)
* Researcher (All curators, story tellers)
* Site Admin
* Add / remove users
* Add / remove annotations
* Platform Owner
* Add / remove sites (via. contracts)
* create issues for platform admin related to technical problems
* Platform Admin
* Manages integration and other technical requirements and creates software development contracts
* Developers
* Designer
*
## Architecture Discussions
* Around the Diagram Venkat shared with functions flow of the platform
* Need to de-structure the diagram in terms of services and dependencies (whiteboard pic to be added)
* Need also a User Story to work on datamodel
* Too many moving pieces
* Annotation based data model to be able to de-couple from the domain dependencies
* Archival description is a global standard. It is adopted by all the 100s of countries around the world and there is a manual for this: https://www.ica.org/sites/default/files/CBPS_2000_Guidelines_ISAD%28G%29_Second-edition_EN.pdf
* You DON'T need to read it. Just saying that this is the book that guides most archival description implementations all around the world.
* Tags need to conform to what are called archival 'access points' and 'name agents'. Each object can have access points, that is, tags related to names of people, organizations, locations, and subject areas. For example, have a look at the archival access points on the right column on this page: https://digitalcollections.ohs.org/coll-189-vancouver-avenue-first-baptist-church-collection-1940-2015
* We can have two sources for these access points (tags).
* One can be the large source from Library of Congress:
* (a) Names of people, places: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names.html
* (b) Subjects: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects.html
* Keep in mind that for these, LoC has already created a tech space to download and use this data on any local system: https://id.loc.gov/techcenter/
* Second can be the internal Milli sheet of material based on user input. E.g.: Indigenous communities have populated material with their own way of thinking and describing. It may have the same ontology, or it may have other kinds of indexes. eg: Instead of describing an object by name, place, subject, date, etc, they may describe objects by 'emotion it induces', 'colour thought it sparks', etc.

Papad Frontend:
* changes to layout and styling
* Upgrade to audio player to allow timestamped tagging metadata, and the pipeline that comes from One's testing
Papad Backend:
* Upgrades to data model to support time-stamp annos
* Depends on testing from one
> [name=bhanu] Date:12/05/20
> The integration with backend in real time a dependency, blocked progress on this one. have spoken to both athithya and vignesh on how to loosen the dependency from backend. and this week am planning to spend some time in getting this milestone moving.
### Graphql backend
Due Date: TBA
Prasoon is able to get his code working to provide graphql endpoints for the discovery platform metadata serializing and more tba
### Tags index for auto complete search filter
Having a service which can be configured to fetch from topic model services like LOC or dbpedia
How to do it? what more will it take?
p: should not be hard to build api for static data.

* Venkat comment "If I havent shared it before, have a look at Nieman Storyboard. Some things to adopt, drop from there. I think you'll see some minor similarities.
https://niemanstoryboard.org/stories/what-challenged-andrea-pitzer-to-write-what-she-calls-her-best-work-ever/"
* Dinesh said we have to think like provisional way to end user
* Three tasks:
* Tell a good story
* Show connection between objects
* Show how stories are unique space to think about seeing objects
* venkat comment 'satakshi, one key thing: just make sure that all objects you use are coordinated with Prasoon for back-end ingestion. They should all have the same metadata fields like the rest of the ingest data. Some objects are not in the initial partner ingest. Story objects should be watertight since they will have highest visibility.'
* venkat said "this is the 'video' we were talking about from earlier. Something generic that will have permanence. https://pelagios.org/
But it doesnt need to be video. It can be static sketch art. Just something better than the clunky blue flowchart here:
https://hackmd.io/0ogY6lp6THqOhZdLpzrr8A?view#Architecture-Discussions"

* Satakshi comment 'Talk to Nikhil Nagaraj <
nikhil@12hz.in about sound files. He is a brilliant sound engineer. He may have ideas. He usually composes his own sound for most situations, but maybe he has a database of his own work to share if you tell him open source, public project, etc.'
### call on March 26th
* General discussion with Team
* Shafali and Shatakshi explaining shatakshi story telling
* venkat comments on hubs would work well for this, but i worry about bandwidth and such.
* I wonder if this can be a 'made' version of panellum/spacetour, bhanu?
* Bhanu replied "Depends on what kind of media content we have, ex. 360 images needed for space tour"
* slight disagreement, Prasoon. Seems like non-linear might work well. Would these be our intents from the story, in this order?
- Tell a good story around a random walk, a meandering through archives.
- Show connections between objects in different archival repositories
- Show how Milli Stories are a unique space to think/rethink how we see historical objects.
- All this said, I am not sure I got what linear or non-linear mean here. A linear walk through the history of random walks? It's a rumination on random walks, isnt it, and so what is the linearity/non linearity in play here?
- Prasoon comment "That's why the AB testing to test the hypothesis. Or we could decide based on general agreement here, it's a diverse group, we could certainly do that."
- Micah comment Linearity in the interface of human and story
- Venkat comment on what is everyone's take on this as being goals for the story:
- Tell a good story around a random walk, a meandering through archives.
- Show connections between objects in different archival repositories (Are we doing this?)
- Show how Milli Stories are a unique space to think/rethink how we see historical objects.
- Venkat comment Here is a vague spec for Milli Stories (going forward) and the prototype story: Milli shows how a user can browse through its archival objects, annotate them, add them to their storytelling carts, find patterns among the objects through their annotations, and just come up with a story that connects very different objects in different archives. Milli is what a user makes of it.
- In all seriousness, if prototype story can do this, we are done: SHOW patterns among the objects through their annotations, and come up with a story that connects very different objects in different archives.
### call on March 23rd
* Joel have presented Milli page to team members
* Prasoon comment on Db-application connection is what I'm trying to sort. DB is live on a docker. Will be able to deliver authentication/authorisation before we end this week. I can assist with integrating with the UI right away (might have to run the app in a local docker considering the security risks without proper testing).
* Prasoon shared docker to Bhanu. Bhanu having some doubts on endpoints level , he clarified with Prasoon
* Dinesh and Venkat have discussed subject headings in annotation and cryptography
* Bhanu added his point annotation database from the backend that is object and for the frontend we have to query the object
* Prasooon and Venkat have discussed about Search functionality and user profile search. Prasoon said some of the queries will respond later so that from frontend we have to make the query and make the responsible more faster
* Bhanu comment on "Omeka search query Re. 13 ways"
* Teams have discussed about 26th March deliverable
* Bhanu expected to complete the static sides to complete by Joel and prasoon have explained what he have deliver¬ deliverable within this date
* Bhanu comment "Right now on our server we have .env files"
* Dinesh said dont change the deliverable plans except date
* Prasoon said we need participate for making the doc from the tech side
* Bhanu explaining the delivery plan: Test server-UI integration and UI by Mid-April.
* Update about the backend:Application is dockerized, will be available on the docker hub after fixing some DB session leaks. Was planning to be done by now but, I've accumulated a lot of tech debt in the last 2 cuz of the rush so removing some obvious code smells.
- Items to be delivered over the next 3 weeks:
- Auth
- Test data population
- Search
- Milli vocabulary (authority and subject headings) if we can freeze the discussion
### call on March 16th

* started with general discussion
* Venkat explaining narrative concept to Joel
* prasoon asked someone will look into the front end develop code from API point view
* Satakshi updating shaliman alli archive on narrative perspective view
* Venkat comment "This could be a story about inflection points.How small moments lead to bigger ideas. Sometimes, we look back and say 'that was THE moment that changed things'. We want these moments to mean something. It gets into the idea of meanderings, and allows us to 'technically' explore objects in the archive. Working title: A random walk"
* Micah and Shafali looked into Object page, now they are designing Partner Page
* Prasoon

### call on Feb 9th
* started with general discussion about miro,mail Id
* https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_kmcSUm4=/
* satakshi explained 1975s cartoons archives in miro board
* satakshi said there are two schematics way to narrative 1. cartoon, images 2. cities space and changes in environment
* Venkat personally struggling on how to think about narrative
* micah comment : mixing what venkat and prasoon are saying, you doing the comparision between the two approaches would probably give us a lot of vocabulary for microinteractions in the storytelling and annotation layer
* Dinesh said if we take a story structure as abstract how we will think as milli
* Venkat comment :Thinking thru....what should be the tone of the story?
1. Explanatory / historical this, then this, then this
2. Investigative
3. Reflective: Essay-ish in tone
4. Straight up pageturner: Conflict, narrative arc, then what happened, how did it make you feel?
I think this prototype Milli story needs to have the tone of a reflection, a musing. That is what we can pull off.
This reflection is around some ideas, and how the storyteller is forging connections across very different objects.
* on the otherside of the world.. CS people struggling to make sense of semantic models
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3209542.3209556
* movement as a better storytelling instrument other than conflict
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doaQC-S8de8&list=PLN0Ia8duouFT_5ZndlqMZ5qGCl-TvXiCR&index=26&t=212s
* https://dp.la/exhibitions
* Venkat comment: Micah, I agree with you. However, the reason I suggested writing was because I saw it as a starting point for a prototype. Playing to strengths. And we could then, well have three ways of telling the same story as our prototype: a Miro-like visual, a written essay with one image, and a peopleplex.
* Prasoon comment : I did not think of Miro as an investigation into a future widget. I was just talking about vocabulary/semantics of the data exchange. UX and I are miserable together.
* micah comment: also satakshi look at korsakow as a way to think about meta-narrative process for us

* Venkat suggest for the Item level we can keep image
* Micah,venkat, shatakshi discussing how annotating text should display once the text is annotated
* Prasoon and venkat suggest will place some icons over the annotated text
* venkat comment : I dont still get how we are annotating a single word in the field 'title'. What am I missing? I guess I am wondering how this neatly feeds back in discovery.
* Dinesh suggest the private and public annotating document. If the user login to his/her own account then he is having the 2options to annotate the document 1. private 2. public annotation document
* Micah comment : personal annos as a downloadable file? that can be uploaded again to use on the platform when needed
* Joel will comeup with Image Annotation on Tuesday
* Prasoon, Venkat Dinesh said Linking is necessary but hard part of this linking to another archive or bookmark the document is difficult
* Prasoon said if we are showing Recommendation link we should be careful there
* Prasoon and bhanu said that target would have selectors
* Venkat said title,date - annotation to the object & link should be the annotation to another object
* Prasoon said API is already there I have to make scalable
* Bhanu said once home page design is confirmed will start the developing
* Shafali arises the question Are we think about Mobile responsive for the Milli website?
* Bhanu said we have to consider mobile view also
*
##### Decision
* We have to thing about motivation for the field/value - 2ways to motivate 1. Description 2. commenting
* Private and Public annotation

### call on Dec 4th
* Shathakshi shared CV https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oknscf95IGyZIso89Qjo9dUTRHDzJQWarIUtT9gxOMg/edit
* Venkat comment on
* 1. Our personal motivations
* 2. Defining structure/views for Milli
* 3. Milli: Society, Trust or Section 8 non profit
* 4. Milli initially: Inflow/outflow of money and projects
* 5. Social Alpha support toward taking on people specifically for a short contract. So: archivist, software architecture? This may help start getting other sources?
* Not quite Milli tech. But I want to discuss a few points with you regarding network and administration of Milli. And I'd like to get your thoughts and concerns and advice.
For Point # 3, I think we need a separate Milli Tue/Fri discussion.
Listed in order of immediacy:
1. A listserv for Milli. I think we need a few of these. Milli tech is running. Another for milli members (people who submit material, etc. Think of this as a partner list). And a third for general milli announcements -- seminars, workshops, events, links. I think the first two should allow two-way communication and the third can be a one-way broadcast (to reduce spam).
2. For our chat tomorrow, Nov 17, can Janastu put together a workflow for the next 'product', and how it fits within the pipeline of the blue flowchart?
I imagine we are talking about a release in January 2021?
We also need to identify some 'deliverable' from our NCBS work (the contract that was delivered in March 2020) just so we know how to define what was done with the contract. Will need for auditing, etc. Maybe this Jan 2021 thing can fit as the 'product'?
3. Setting up Milli as an independent non profit Section 8 company. This will allow it to have some independence from any of the incubating spaces, including NCBS. And it will also help define a structure for flow of money in and out of Milli. I have spoken to a few people who have laid out the pros and cons of Trusts, societies, companies and I think the Section 8 company approach may be best.
I have got verbal yesses from about 5-6 institutions for being a member. I think we can look into a model where member institutions give a nominal fee to be a member? We'll have to figure out what that should be. But to start, we could have an MoU or an agreement (especially necessary for the larger govt-type institutes) that defines what they intend to be part of and what they agree to give to a Milli platform. I have been wondering what the governance structure of a Milli should be like and how to build in inclusivity + structure + efficiency. But to start, we do need this signed document from institutions. I think it will give Milli more credibility and pathways for grants. I have also now received a verbal yes for a small grant toward Milli tech work starting early next year.
Money inflow:
- Grants: govt and quasi govt (various world govts 😃)
- Philanthropic sources
- Memberships
- Consultancies
- Curriculum projects
- Individuals donations through an option on the website
Envisioned outflow (as you will see, there is more outflow than inflow 😃:
- Administration of Milli
- Annual conference (maybe June every year?)
- Tech team
- Archiving and standards team
- Contracts for conservation
- Travel and logistics
* https://www.legalwiz.in/blog/which-one-should-you-choose-a-trust-society-or-section-8-company
* Bhanu shared his experience on Milli world
* We are solving an interesting problem, using tech that's hopefully gonna have a big impact in determining where the Internet is heading.
* https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/
* Shafali shared her experience. Milli make easier to archive world
* Prasoon said our product its like mastadon. People can use our instance they can develop their own
* Micah comment: another strategy that shreyas is following at LLN is signing MoUs with govt Colleges to bypass fcra which has a synergy with getting govt. archives
* Bhanu and Dinesh like the idea to connect the people from outside so they can also tell their idea
* Prasoon said what are the area we need advice from other people to contribute and also we send mail to some other people. We have to take the decision for the product not other members apart from open talk he agreed
* Micah said we have to register the milli as a company and we have to proceed it will make sense for me.
* Micah comment: i don't see an immediate need because funding can always come from partnering collectives.
* prasoon comment: I used to get wads of cash from an organization that wasn't the recipient of the funding that was funding me
* Venkat said we need a structure for the Milli
* Prasoon comment: I don't agree. We need a charter as soon as we can. Registration can happen as it happens.
* Micah comments: i agree with charter but as a living doc that we should publish and workshop constantly with our larger groups
* Micah comments on his experience: it interests me to see the contradictions of structure and un-structure which exists in my head and in our discussions, also very interested in a future of largely personal archives and how we makes sense of each others pasts, +1 on internet futures
* Prasoon starting the doc for milli structure
* venkat comment:
* 1. Our personal motivations

* 1. Please replace 'creator' with'person', we then need to add relationships. It will have 'creator person' 'associated with person', etc

* EAD endpoint for mockdata (priority med) -
* Dependency for further development of the EAD mock data on Frontend
* CSV module (priority low) - A seperate service module
* W3C SpecificResource
*
VENKAT's comment
* usecase one archive exporting in a defined format, imported to milli DB, which is discoverable, query through the metadata ex. `discover/?q=map`
* Annotate a name of the city (location, person, event, ) using W3C SpecificResource mapping to LOC name files for subject headings and these annotations create new access points for discovery.
* we will use one of the 6 isdag field say Description field, where users can contribute annotations to the description field
* Woah! so we allow for users to add fields itself? yes, venkat just said this and thats 2 mins after i wrote the question
*
Design brainstorm Micah
Item level usecase img, audi, vid, text
has 6 or more isdag fields
which can be having multiple values
But how do we see this on screen?
One is sidebar and the other is pop-up
V: Toggle buttons and map filter type styling to filter annotations
Toggle for seeing annotation on the field itself,
and toggle for whole page
toggle for adding, like a + button
And about the free text, accha is title and description also annotatable access points?
Everyone agrees on this

* Shafali: Time also translated into holistic thing
*V: Thanks, Annapurna. It was a little difficult for me to articulate what I was trying to say in the moment. In the survey of various archives you shared, what struck me was this variety of sources and possibilities. I am also struck by how forgiving the world of archives has been. 1/n
* The archive is political, of course. It is exclusionary, authoritative as well. And yes, it erases more than it keeps. But it does aspire to be useful to a diversity of people, and toward a variety of stories. 2/n
* Which brings me to the next point and that is about the interplay between curation, collection, archive, interpretation and narration. At any given point, I feel that the 'object', for lack of a better word, can occupy various spaces. And we, as conveyers of the idea of the object, can play the role of curator, collector, archivist, interpreter, narrator. And in each moment, we will see a different view of the object. 3/n
* I state these to say that I am a little more forgiving of the CEPT archives :ic) If it makes attempts to be useful, if it has built a certain ethos around its material, if it has paid attention to origins/context/process, then maybe it is still doing something. 4/n
* Something I mentioned during the Milli sessions sort of comes to mind. I feel archives need structure, and shine light on the context and process of <individual/community/corporation/family/movement/theme…>. What an archive looks like is quite diverse today, as it should be. 5/n
* But one rule of thumb about whether something starts to resemble an archive that might last could be: when you are able to see material described well, see its relation to the <individual/community…> and have the ability to constantly revisit it to catapult it into a variety of future narratives. 6/n
* If we approach an archive as viewers of the goods, but not renarrators, then I think it's worth relooking at the structure of the archive. The archive has to be an active, breathing element in the production of knowledge, not a silo of knowledge seen in a glass case. 7/n
* P: We need a formal structure for the Archive
* Bhanu: Limitation for the architecture
* Venkat Srinivasan said to Micah yes, every piece of art (and every piece of scientific data is art, too) can be seen as part of an archive. We are living through pieces of an archive. We are the archive. But as Prasoon is pointing out, we need some methods to navigate the 'archive' within a consortium framework. We are not making judgments on what is an archive. We simply want to find ways for it to be visible, re-usable.
* I have struggled with this question of what is an archive for a while now. So, reupping this one rule of thumb I took up to set up a litmus test: An archive needs to have material described well. It needs structure/taxonomy. One should see the object's relation to the <individual/community…>. And most importantly, in my opinion, a user can revisit it and find new, future narratives. These are often easily done with cataloguing protocols. But there might be other ways to do it.
* Bhanu: We are not look into labour but we have to look labour for our project

* Mocking with NCBS test data
* Use LoC vocabulary or standard vocabulary for tagging
* User should be able to annotate, tag a person for ex or an emotion
* What is the target of the annotation, how to know that fro the URL or URI
* Venkat Here is an example of Stanford's purl for a map: https://purl.stanford.edu/fs844yc9264
* What is an archival object? is it the file object? or the metadata link is the object?
* Tarunima on Tattle annotation workflow
* All annotations exist, but how do they present is the matter of moderation rather than letting something exist or not
* Democratic archiving, Archive everything (is the vaccum cleaner approach)
* dinesh https://www.amazon.in/Multimedia-Ontology-Representation-Santanu-Chaudhury-ebook/dp/B010ACW672
* This is the mastodon account prasoon mentioned
https://mastodon.social/@dansup/104431694745037429
* Venkat Here is an example of Stanford's purl for a map: https://purl.stanford.edu/fs844yc9264
* Without curation there is no archiving, power equations of who is visible and who is not
*
#### Follow up tasks
* Preparing the mockup with NCBS dataset for papad ingest and curation
* Using named entity recognition auto suggest for tags entry

### Call on 26th June
**About EAD format and interoperability strategies**
- PJ: 2task for EAD
- Shortlisting the protocol
- Identify the name for the fields
- What will be the Data model of Milli, are we saying that we will only choose the fields we prescribe and throw away the rest? Venkat feels that we should keep all the metadata but depend on a few fields
- If there is additional information beyond the scope of Milli Data model, then how do we address the parsing issue
- Most archival description dont use a field as "emotion" like fear, sadness so on but a community archives around those ideas
- but fields such as emotions are usecase for annotations so it's extensible
- Pj: we can have all EAD fields for parsing purposes going by EAD 3 format, along with that we will have a minimum required fields which depends on our presentation logic
- How do we allow for failures, and not create adoption barriers, and avoid to and fro in updating data
- Milli Data model will have a minimum requirement, the milli presentation logic is a subset of fields from the minimum requirement
- All Organization accounts will have an ID, each EAD object will be an ID related to the org accounts
- Let's consider that all the fields of EAD 3 format, and minimize requirements for the presentation logic
- Compare 2 different EAD (NCBS and APU) from two different archives as test data, to put out a graphql api
- We will start with EAD 3 and then start looking at crosswalks and later look at the Spreadsheet
- May take 2-3 weeks for test data parsing
- DPLA - put it as human readable format
- Crosswalks: https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/metadata-basics/crosswalks
- https://www.getty.edu/research/publications/electronic_publications/intrometadata/crosswalks.html
- https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/wiki/Resources/Metadata_crosswalk
- 26 fields. And six essential fields: https://www.ica.org/sites/default/files/CBPS_2000_Guidelines_ISAD%28G%29_Second-edition_EN.pdf
- DPLA's metadata application profile: https://pro.dp.la/hubs/metadata-application-profile
- Online archive of california https://oac.cdlib.org/
- DPLA vocab descriptions https://drive.google.com/file/d/11KyNt2NwXMDrB1Qpvwm1Yxva3Qg06hYB/view
- Product development document, prasoon will do the architecture document and Bhanu will put the product description
- ncbs test data is on spreadsheet and ready for testing with papad
- saloni UX person, prasoon's fren from sweden looking for interesting project (follow up)
- Online Archive of California: How to contribute to common platform:
https://help.oac.cdlib.org/support/solutions/articles/9000049975-become-a-contributor
- https://oac.cdlib.org/help/ about contribs
### Call on 23rd June
- iaw 2020 videos will go on youtube
- with a link to play list or embed on milli.link
- PJ: EAD is very elaborate and includes presentation into it. May be we start mocking the structure
- Tarunima and Denny on tattle, archive and annotations, using android accesibility api for scraping, take sql dump, export chat feature, whatsapp business api
- format shared by madan from APU, and need for us to look at what is milli needs for interoperability and may be start documenting
-
### Call on 02nd June
- 13th session on Milli2 talks (by team), discussing schedule
- Webinars standards / rules, documentation,
- milli.link live? email domain and testing
- hello@milli.link - V will manage mailbox responses, emails will be forwarded to D, B and P for incoming or keeping an eye
- chat on video conferencing app options https://bigbluebutton.org/
- forms and data collection https://enketo.org/#tools
- http://twine.unhcr.org/app/ http://mapyourworld.org
### Call on 29th May
- Venkat - on the write up,
- D - on Chaha Dasara https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ODracOspj1mPKbBwy2_swt_9zYLii9spNbDFK8bypwI/edit?usp=sharing also can check on concepts here http://newsrack.in/about/faq
- Discussions on vocabulory (at philosophical level), at some time we need to resolve / evolve this conversation for the milli platform
- do we start with a controlled vocab, or each user will create their own, how to go about?
- if n users use same interpretation - can we equate to call it a common vocab
- how to program this? ex one image of Dasara, 4 users annotate. user 1 annotates with x, 2-> y, 3 & 4 -> x
- Authority or reputation? what gives value to the anno
- P - ex: Dasara & Durga Poojo will have their own name space, key = dasara and value ="something / text / image / ..."
- P - A milli namespace for controlled vocab managing
- V - then what didnt make it to the milli vocab, then what is happening to the contributed annotations
-
### Call on 26th May
Invited Arun to join, Venkat will be unable to join.
* What needs to be tested if papad audio repository should integrate with milli discovery
* Once persistence is added then the service will store data in a database
* now we can test with the mock data repository
* arcGIS story maps - nice authoring tool interface for multimedia / maps storytelling https://storymaps.arcgis.com an example story https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/4fdc0d03d3a34aa485de1fb0d2650ee0 & pixelfed
* Persistence layer for milli discovery in 1 week
* currently the structure should be in the mock data repository
* Discussion on https://notabug.org/prasoon/niosx/wiki/Specification+for+Milli+data+discovery+and+exchange
* Annotations part of document or description?
* Authority on adding annotations v/s 3rd party annotations representation
* Loosely couple the annotations from the document and it's metadata itself
* Annotations - 2 parts, target & bodies
* Annotations service is dynamically updated, while the document and it's metadata are edited with authority
* Example: a suggestion / correction to metadata, where a service understands irrespective of the controls metadata
* Priority / curation algorithm, which looks at the context in which the document is seen to prioritise the annotation rendering by the client / service?
* Metadata is definitely the part of the Document or it's descriptors
* A query is derived from the context, so as to fetch the annotations from the annotation servers
* Spend some more time on the data model
* PJ - needs to complete the specs to expand annotation model
*

### Calls on 10th and 15th of April
Decided to get on call twice (tue & fri) a week. Discussed re. the user stories, persona, roles, frontend screen mockups. our focus will slightly move towards taking audio as the first media type to be supported in the milli annotation canvas to add tags, images to audio or a part of audio.
Added images in Architecture discussions and frontend discussions of this doc.
### Before the 25th call
We had spent some time too setup madoc platform on local server. Tested it with some IIIF dataset, and annotations. However, the later feeling seems that we might get locked into too many of the moving parts (services) here and not be able to / slow down in pushing upgrades / modifications.
Instead would be better for us to focus on one main fundamental thing required to achieved milli / specere and add pieces as we move along.
### Call on the 25th feb
:::info
TODO: Add minutes of meeting
:::
#### Summary
* Most archives just have metadata descriptions and a url to the same
* May have a the digital material linked
* Fundamental unit would be a url with some context as target of annotation and body could be workflow tags, comments, links, relationships.
* Lack of Vocab standards makes it hard to support for wide varieties however, prasoon has already written some code to be able to parse & import EAD export format
* Storytelling app (Specere) will be a seperate app from the annotations (Milli) where user will give a modelled spreadsheet to render a story like timeline, spacetour and peopleplex from 13 ways sandbox examples.

## Archived Sections
### User Stories actually became a Epic
Let's first take a few simple use cases
1. Bob is browsing through the catalogue of Archives at NCBS, coming across some images in `File — Box: 3, Folder: 23 Identifier: NI005-7-1-3-23` [Research work -- M Panicker, G Hasan, U Bhalla](http://catalogue.archives.ncbs.res.in/repositories/2/archival_objects/1255) and immediately remembers from his memory that M. Panicker also mentions about this image in his [Oral History Interview : Mitradas Panicker ](http://catalogue.archives.ncbs.res.in/repositories/2/digital_objects/16) that he heard yesterday.
Bob now wants to link this materials with a short commentary.
In the above use case,
```
Taget = [Research work -- M Panicker, G Hasan, U Bhalla
File — Box: 3, Folder: 23
Identifier: NI005-7-1-3-23](http://catalogue.archives.ncbs.res.in/repositories/2/archival_objects/1255)
Body =
Comment Text = "Curatorial commentary sample"
Relation = isPartOf LinkTo
LinkTo = [Oral History Interview : Mitradas Panicker ](http://catalogue.archives.ncbs.res.in/repositories/2/digital_objects/16)
```
This annotation will be sent to annotation server posted to an annotation collection that'll be determined by the workflow tag.
2. Archives at NCBS Admin regularly checks the annotation collection for any new annotation and notices Bob's annotation in `Pending Review Collection` admin will be able to move / add anno to all anno collection `Approved Collection` or `Rejected Collection`. To keep the annotation itself light and not keep status withing anno and make workflow annotation collections.
