Notes and plans for addressing the needs around vouchering
Vouchering is the process of preparing materials for a dried specimen sheet for an herbarium. This work is proceeding in the context of preparing a customized instance of CollectionSpace for the UC Botanical Garden. Much of the work is being done by students in a class on campus.
The goal is to extend an existing service, rather than build a new one from scratch. Deliverables include:
- Wireframes for the UX
- Schema defined as an extension of the Loans Out Schema.
- App layer configuration for the procedure (with assistance from Informatics team)
- UI templates and message bundles(with assistance from Informatics team)
- Data mapping (ETL scripts, etc.) to migrate existing SAGE data to the new system
Upcoming activities:
- Interviews with Holly Forbes, curator at UCBG, on Wednesday 29 Feb in class.
Recent activities:
- Review of existing screenshots and schemas for vouchers and related activities (see Resources for class Lecture 10).
- Fit-gap analyses of current SAGE system support for Vouchers with various candidate services (see attached analyses for A4 prepared by students, listed below).
- Review of requirements from related institutions (see Resources for class Lecture 11).
