Project Identifier: Version: 2 Contact: Kerstin Mey Date: 15 December 2011 data migration, and sustainability of resource. Budget 2 2 4 Budget presentation is based on realistic assessment of the needs of the project and its partners; regular review of resources will be carried out by Project Director supported by UCA Research Office, who will report any discrepancies to Project Advisory Group. Legal 3 5 15 Tested working relations with partner (Zandra Rhodes is the first Chancellor of UCA) and extensive discussion on licensing arrangements with all parties involved. Stakeholder and community engagement Sustainability of project 2 4 8 Utilising UCA’s extensive experience in community engagement, public pedagogies and its collaboration with fashion programmes; advice from project consultants and role of Project Sponsor, and integral to staff and student focus group role. 2 4 8 The core project team are seconded from existing posts so the skills, knowledge, and practice will inform the wider community; with the Project Director and Project Sponsor being part of the University’s Senior Management Team, it is ensured that outcomes are raised at senior level both within the institution and across the sector. 1.11 Technical Development Metadata A suitable metadata structure and controlled vocabularies for the cataloguing of the garments will be developed in agreement with Zandra Rhodes, which will be mapped to the existing VADS structure, which is based on the Visual Resources Association (VRA) Core 4.0 standard. This metadata will be recorded in an appropriate database, the requirements for which will be specified at the outset of the project. The current preferred choice for this software is Extensis Portfolio (which the Digital Cataloguer implemented as part of a Page 10 of 20 Document title: JISC Project Plan Template Last updated: Feb 2011 – v2.0
Project Identifier: Version: 2 Contact: Kerstin Mey Date: 15 December 2011 previous project at the National Gallery with their Photographic Department, and was also used for the JISC-funded fineart.ac.uk project). Export functionality into CSV or TAB delimited text will be an essential requirement of this software, in order to export the data to the VADS repository. A copy of the metadata will be transferred from the database at Zandra Rhodes Studio to UCA for back-up on a weekly basis. Digital Photography Images will be captured as RAW files at 300dpi 4896x3264 pixels, and converted to TIFF version 6, sRGB, for archiving. Adobe Photoshop will be used for adjustment of white balance, exposure, and any other necessary post-processing. VADS Website The digital collection will be deposited with VADS and hosted on the VADS image repository (vads.ac.uk) which currently runs on: UNIX Operating System (SunOS) Apache 2.2.4 MySQL 4.1.15 PHP 5.2.8 Full backups of the VADS website are taken once a month and incremental backups are taken nightly. Additional SQL backups are taken before uploading new collections and before any other significant changes are made to the database. Digital Preservation UCA holds a dedicated server for storing high resolution copies of the VADS image collections offline. The Zandra Rhodes Studio will also store copies of these master files locally in their offices in London. As the garments are photographed throughout the project, copies of the high resolution images will be transferred on DVD each week from the Zandra Rhodes Studio to the VADS team who will transfer them on to their dedicated server at UCA. Open Educational Resource The current preference is to develop the Open Educational Resource using the Xerte open source tools, which were developed by University of Nottingham (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/). The OER Developer will also conduct an audit of any other available tools to consider which would be most appropriate to the project. The Open Educational Resource will be piloted on the University’s student portal, myUCA, which uses the Blackboard software, and the final OER will deposited with the Jorum repository of learning and teaching materials (jorum.ac.uk). 1.12 Standards Name of standard or Version specification XHTML, CSS XHTML 1.0 CSS Level 2 Notes VADS website interface. VRA Metadata standard VRA Core 4.0 The metadata structure that will be developed will be mapped to the existing VADS structure which is based on the VRA Core 4.0 standard.
