Greetings @us-hosted members!
We are plowing ahead with Pilot Activity #3: Software Description, Part I. Part I of this activity, which can be found in your designated EaaSI Pilot Google Workspace , asks the EaaSI Hosted Pilot Nodes to describe a piece of software using a lightweight version of the EaaSI metadata application profile. The EaaSI team provides both the software item we ask you to describe as well as the table with the requisite metadata fields, definitions, and placeholder for your metadata values. There are three steps to the activity - review, describe, and reflect. For the reflection section, please jot down your thoughts/bulleted responses in the blank text area underneath the guiding questions.
The goals of this activity include:
- Compare your current institutional descriptive practices for software to the EaaSI application metadata requirements. Determine any follow-up questions or possible modifications to your current descriptive practices based on the level of specificity/granularity requested from the EaaSI system.
- Create shared understanding among members of your EaaSI Pilot Node regarding ways in which current, existing descriptive practices do or do not support software reuse in the EaaSI platform.
Please complete the activity (directly in the Google doc) by Tuesday, March 9. We will base our next forum discussion prompt on everyone’s responses.
If you all have any questions about Pilot Activity #3, please post your questions as a reply to this post.
Thank you all so much!
