What is Collections UofT?Enterprise Content Management Approach
● Problem: How best to manage our digital projects/digital assets while leveraging limited resources?
● One possibility: a repository inspired by the “enterprise content management” framework
● An enterprise content management approach offers guidelines for the architecture and management behind a repository, rather than simply a technical solution

Enterprise Content Management
Enterprise Content Management comprises the strategies, processes, methods, systems, and technologies that are necessary for capturing, creating, managing, using,
publishing, storing, preserving, and disposing content within and between organizations.

Limitations of Heritage● Strict mandate/scope● Another ‘place’ to look for things● Not linked back to our website and archival descriptions● Little control over how our material displays
![Page 23: The Collections UofT Repository and Enterprise Content Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bd1f3b4c905706a8b4d16/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Collections: U of T Archives multi-site● Central space : decentralized workflow● More control over collection display● Own look/feel for our page● Can build our own menu items: About, Contact, How to
cite, etc.● Content is unlimited in scope

Islandora for Archives: Challenges● Communicating that ‘this isn’t everything’● Use of the term ‘collections’● Metadata: balancing cohesion and autonomy with other
professions/sectors● Preserving/communicating context ● Preserving/communicating hierarchical arrangement

Why Collections U of T?
● Higher profile for USMC Collections● Allows for centralized online dissemination
with built-in IT support ● Access to academic audience● Collections U of T collaborators as built-in
community of practice

Challenges
● Photograph albums don’t align with the Book or Large Image Content models
● Resources, time and knowledge required for site customization and configuration
● Archival descriptive standards vs Dublin Core basic elements

Solution: Thinking Out Loud

How Do You Solve a Problem Like UTSC?
● The DSU at UTSC has its own Islandora○ We use it in different ways than ITS○ Not an institutional repository but an organic digital
scholarship tool that we need to be able to experiment with
● But we think it’s important to contribute!
![Page 44: The Collections UofT Repository and Enterprise Content Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bd1f3b4c905706a8b4d16/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Learn to Share!● Create a search interface that will find our
stuff via Collections UofT without the effort of ingesting it twice
● OAI-PMH: Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting

Request made via HTTP
Dublin Core XML gatheredvia OAI-PMH

Pros and Cons of OAI-PMHAdvantages:● Relatively easy● Minimal duplication of
ingest effort● No loss if UTSC decides
to change how we use Collections UofT
Issues:● User interface changes● Only harvests simple
Dublin Core● Out of date - ATOM,
ResourceSync, or LOD could do this better
