If immediate assistance is required, email UAiR. Generally, administrators are assigned to collections, and at the moment (April 2008), administrative functions are provided directly through UAiR. With our integration of Omeka, we are also evaluating how much of Omeka's administrative functionality will be implemented. We like theirs better than ours, so it's likely that we're going to implement as much of Omeka's admin functionalit… text/html 2008-11-12T16:08:47-07:00 https://digitalcommons.library.arizona.edu/kb/policy:for_depositors?rev=1226531327&do=diff Information for depositors is currently being reviewed. If immediate assistance is required, email UAiR. Here's a list of some of our contemplations as of April 2008. * Who can deposit? * By what means are we as an institution going to vet deposits? * What documentation is required for batch and single ingest? * Do our depositors require specialized tool to help with metadata “creation?” * How are we going to vet all the copyright issues? text/html 2008-11-12T16:10:36-07:00 https://digitalcommons.library.arizona.edu/kb/policy:for_developers?rev=1226531436&do=diff Our philosophy is simple.

As such, we are on track to implement RSS 2.0, ATOM 1.0, and SRU before the end of 2008. Because of its limited functionality, we have chosen to postpone open release of OAI functionality until after the release of RSS and SRU. text/html 2008-11-12T16:06:58-07:00 https://digitalcommons.library.arizona.edu/kb/policy:historical_accuracy_policy?rev=1226531218&do=diff UAiR will present digital assets and digital collections as accurately as we can without editorial comment or device.
